Happy Thanksgiving!

Ex Libris

Although her name

is not

Marian,

she is INDEED

a

LIBRARIAN

(which has always been a dream job of mine, by the way).

It is a FACT

that

she LOVES lace,

and will often,

"Tat a little,

Pick a little,

Tat a little,

Pick little,

Pick, pick, pick,

Tat allot,

Tat a little more."

because she said as much

once in a comment

on another blog.

SO TO RECAP:

She is

LACE LOVIN'

and

a

LIBRARIAN

and

apparently

also enjoys

The Music Man

(that last bit is pure conjecture on my part).

Name that tatter!

For your viewing pleasure (you'll thank me for the second one later).

For a Goddess Among Tatters

There's only 

ONE

Goddess of Tatting,

GINA.

Thank you

for your

ENCOURAGEMENT

and

INSPIRATION!

Buffalo Gal Won't You Come Out Tonight

Buffalo Gal, 

won't you come out tonight

and TAT by the light of the moon!

Isdihara

is one of those tatters

who breaks into verse

or alliteration

from time to time,

and you LOVE it when she does!

I have never been to a

Tatters' Turnout,

but I SO hope

that there are songs,

tat songs,

and I FIRMLY believe

Isdihara and Fox

could be Tatland's answer

to Rogers and Hammerstein.

Thanks Isdihara,

for the impromptu ditty,

sung to the tune of

Buffalo Gals,

which you penned.

I now have the dream

of tatting in the moonlight - 

doesn't that sound lovely?

This is as close

as I can come

to lassoing the moon

for you.

It's round

AND

it glows at night

IF

you clamp a book light on it.

And now for your humming enjoyment,

I offer you,

TATLAND TATTERS

(to the tune of Camptown Ladies)

Tatland Tatters, sing this song,

Glad 'ta, meet 'cha!

Tat an edging five feet long,

Gonna tat all day.

Gonna tat doilies,

Gonna tat bookmarks,

Put my money on some HDT,

Lights my creative spark!

PS 

Press Pattern update - stalled on FINAL page due to too much computer-based homework for the kids and ROTTEN bug that the kids brought home, but so far have kept to themselves.

Tatting on Isdihara's drawstring bag done with embroidery thread (thanks for the idea, Gina!).  I'm counting it for the 25 Motif Challenge because I'm SO far behind, desperate, and have never been this adventurous with my tatting thread selection, so I feel it is something to celebrate!

If you like the bag, I'll be glad to post how to make one... some day... but it would be a while...'cause I am hitting my pattern wall.
