      I had a special visitor, come, clear from a town, west of Seattle.  She was on her way to snowbird in Arizona.  We had met, through a tatting exchange, back in 2016.  I had given her my Tatsmithing book and a pair of embellishment earrings in the exchange.  She wanted to learn these techniques.  We met at the Bonners Ferry Farmers market and had a wonderful time.  It was a rainy day, so this passed the time quickly.  The wonderful lady's name was Phyllis and she had given me a unique cactus spine.  She used it to pull out tatting stitches.  

     I didn't think I would use it, but, a few days later.....this works better than a needle.  The spine doesn't fray my threads like a regular sewing needle.
