Well that last entry was kind of a failure, so let's try again...
Here's a snowflake in metallic thread.

I'm not making this long as this was a trial, so bye for now!

So Much to Learn...

-
 I've been tatting awhile now, and I still have SOOOOOO much to learn!  I still suffer from the downfall of the newbie - wanting to learn it all at once and trying to run before I walk.  Someday, I shall be free from this downfall, but alas, then I fear I shall be dead. I've been working on my YouTube channel (Opposable Thumbs & Scissors), but have found a new downfall - too many ideas & not enough energy, talent, nor knowhow.  Most days I still feel like I'm slogging through thick mud - I'm heaving my body around and my head is full of fog.  I'm praying that it ends soon and try to push myself to do something.  I think I've allowed this to bring me down, and have struggled to tat even the very basic of patterns.

I am still wild about tatting, but a lot of things have happened to me personally over this last year that have given me pause.  Not about the art itself, but my part in it.  My relationships with others.  My passions.  Some not nice things have happened to me, and while I will not divulge any details on any public platform, those things have served to open my eyes to things I wasn't even noticing before.  N...

Current obsession?

 Tatting!!! Tatting is a form of lace making made with fingers, shuttle, or needle.        There are TONS of places to learn about what tatting is online, and it has a full and wonderful history.  It is an old art, but it's being revived again.  Thank the Lord for that and that I found it! Maybe if there is an interest, I'll put some more information here or even make a whole blog about it, but for now I'm just leaving this here. How did I get started in tatting? Well, that needs a bit of backstory.  Let me start by saying that I love helping people.  The Lord opened an opportunity to begin doing just that with some older members of my church.  This is how I met Grace.  She had lost her husband a few months prior (I sadly never got to meet him) and she was moving from her house into an apartment.  Grace is legally blind, so when I helped her move, we had to go through every little thing with me describing what I thought it...
