First Post - 2010

I finally got the courage to start a blog and showoff my creations. This was my New Year's (2010) resolution. I hope I will be inpsired to continue tatting and the other needle arts that I like to do/learn. 2009 was a very lucky year for me, in so many ways. I was able to attend the Palmetto TAT Days in SC in September. I met so many wonderful women who have been inspiring me in many ways to continue my passion. Then I stumbled across StitchMAP (a Yahoo Group) where I have two mentors. I will showcase my work very soon. I hope this year will be more inspiring!!!

Here are the two things I tatted for the New Year. Mary Konior's Spinning Wheel Glass Mat in Lizbeth size 20, color 115 and Sharon Briggs' latest snowflake in size 20 (don't know the thread name).

  5. Thank you IsDihara, Jane, JeanneZ and Eileene. The online community is so forgiving and motivating that I will keep this going. I don't think I will have handi-work to show everyday, but will try my best to blog several times a week.

    Happy and Healthy New Year to you and the family!
    The blog looks good, and your tatting is very elegant.

    I am at awe and amazed at all you out there who enjoy blogging, and you make it look SO EASY...
    For over a year I am trying to create a blog and never find time to finish and actually upload it. Think it will be my 2010 resolution.

    Thanks for the inspiration!
    Hope to see you sometime this year.

    Nina - I was also intimidated at first. There are lots of things I want to do in the blog, but I am taking baby steps, otherwise it would have never happened today.

  26. Welcome to the blogging world, Sunela. I recently started my own blog too so that I could display some of my creations and get more involved in the tatting community. Your work is beautiful. The Spinning Wheel Glass Mat is one that I want to try this year - it is such a great pattern. Check out my blog at http://tatteristic.blogspot.com. Have you thought about joining the 25 Motif Challenge? I joined this year and I think it will be a lot of fun!
