Happy International Tatting Day!!! In a world that's trying it's best to pull us all apart, it's wonderful to have an excuse to come together! And bonus points: you're supposed to eat chocolate today! Score! What a great day. Though I'm still struggling, personally, I am overjoyed looking at others' works. Some have even been brave enough to post their failures, and that's also inspiring. Some days, the devil just wants to hold you down and tell you you're defeated. But thank God that God is such a BIG God. Bigger than the lies of the devil. Bigger than my feelings. Bigger than the failures that threaten to keep me locked inside so no one sees. So much talent is lurking out there... shuttle designers, pattern designers, tatters, video makers, bloggers, vloggers, teachers. I encourage you to look. Just a YouTube search and you'll find a whole new world! Join a Facebook group about tatting, there are so many goo...
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'm pressing onward, though! Trying to remind myself that I can do all things through Christ! And that I have the mind of Christ, and His mind isn't full of fog. I want to be an encourager and leave people feeling better....
