Tatting Press Winners!

It's been ANOTHER busy week around here.

Putting up the Christmas tree and decorating it with ornaments.

Chasing Baby Doll as she absconds with the ornaments.

Hanging the breakable ornaments out of her reach.

Finding out she can reach farther than I thought.

Admitting defeat.

Taking the ornaments off and going to paper decorations.

Making cookies for a holiday cookie swap.

Trusting my 4th grade self to have 

written down my then

FAVORITE

recipe correctly and

HOPING

I had good taste in cookies then.

I did and I did.

They were easy and yummy.

The cookies we brought home were yummy too!

Yep, they were good - past tense...

Catching up on shopping.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME,

LET'S TALK ABOUT

YOU!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I had Baby Doll pick the 

Tatting Press Giveaway winners

out of a hat...

This press will be sent to Gemini,

And this press will be sent to umintsuru.

THANK YOU to my blogging friends,

Cindy (A Happy Bluebird)

and

Martha (Q is for Quilter),

for giving the pattern

and instructions a read through

and making suggestions

for improvement.

And THANK YOU to all of you,

for your kind comments

and 

for putting up with my endless press posts.

I haven't been a very good blogging friend of late

while I have been trying to finish this up.

To celebrate completing the pattern,

I would like to have a

GIVEAWAY!

Comment on THIS post

and I will put your name

in the hat (literally)

for a chance to 

win one of two presses.

I will draw two names

on

DECEMBER 15, 2010.

I'm going to keep making presses

and plan to host future giveaways.

In fact, I have one press

currently in the works,

intended for a tatter

who hoped very much that 

she lived NORTH of me.

She SO does!

Tatting Press Pattern

The Tatting Press

I designed the Tatting Press as a way to keep my on-the-go AND in-the-home tatting projects neat, tidy and ready to tat when I was ready to tat.  No more tangled threads - I just pick up my tatting and start where I left off!

I am sharing the pattern here for your PERSONAL use.  Feel free to email me if there is something in the pattern which is unclear.  If you make a press and post about it, please link back to this post... and let me know!  I would love to see your press!
