Happy International Tatting Day!
Today for Tatting Tea Tuesday and International Tatting Day, I had Celestial Seasonings “Country Peach Passion” herbal tea steeped in the tea-for-one teapot my daughter gave me. And a couple of pieces of chocolate.
The shuttles shown are four that I decorated yesterday. They are cream colored Boye shuttles, the two on the left decorated with scrapbook paper, the two on the right with material. They came out pretty well.
These are paperclip bookmarks I have made for International Tatting Day. I’m hoping to pass out a few of these to people today. I’ll be going out a little later to hopefully do some TIPping (tatting in public).
Some of the patterns I used are:
‘Dove‘ by JoAnn Stearns
‘Little Fishies‘ by Sharon Albers
‘Bunny Face’ by Wanda Salmans (me) on my Patterns page
‘Basket Paperclip Doodle’ by Wanda Salmans (me) on my Patterns page
‘Butterfly’ – unknown
A decorated button – a doodle
Flowers – a doodle

I hadn’t found Ellen Lai’s cute Spring Basket so I made my own. I don’t think it’s as cute as hers, but it worked up pretty quick. I’ve added it to my Pattern page if you’re interested.
So, what are you doing for International Tatting Day? Are you going to try a little tatting in public? Maybe eat a little chocolate?
Whether in public or just at home, I hope you take a little time to tat just for yourself and enjoy the day!
Happy Tatting!

Oh that is a sweet tea for one! It reminds me of a tea set I had many years ago.
Your shuttles look fab all decorated. And your tatted book marks are wonderful too! How sweet are those!

Your shuttles look great! I tatted with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, and yes, we did eat chocolate!
Very cutely tatted paper clips! You've inspired me to try some out – never done it before. I like your basket of flowers, too !
I really like your little basket! I downloaded your pattern right away. But, if you are still looking for Ellen Lai's paperclip patterns, they are here: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/2009index.html
I'm particularly fond of her butterfly – I've tatted it many, many times…
Tea for one sounds good to me, with Choc is even better. Enjoy tatting day.
Thanks for visiting.
Blessings,

Those are all fantastic!!! 🙂
Love the little basket. Cute design.
