Make-It-Yours Tatting Kits

Make-It-Yours Tatting Kits

    I initially made my tatting kits for beginner tatters.  Lately, advanced tatters are wanting them, so I needed to change out the size thread and size of picot hook.

     I've came up with a Make-It-Yours tatting kit, where you can chose what's in it.  You can chose between a small kit or large kit (extra empty bobbin, extra bobbin of thread and a larger case...nice for longer trips and room for tatting needles in the large pocket.)

     You can choose which size picot hook (from US size 1 thru 10) and the color of beads on the tatting essentials.  Choose which style of tatting shuttle and the size of thread (from 3, 10, 20, or 30...my choice of color). 

    Make-It-Yours tatting kits can be found on my face book page:  West Pine Creations.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers

     I found this doo-dad in a geocache.  There were three pieces with it.

     What is a geocache, you ask.  A geocache is some type of a container your find with a hand-held gps.  The geocache can be as small as a small film can to a large ammo can.  You must trade something of the same or greater value.  Most of the time there isn't anything worth trading.  But the hunt is what's it's all about!!!!  Go to Geocaching.com and look up caches in your area.  You will be surprised what is near your house.  You don't need a gps for all of them.  Just look at the maps and the clues. 

     Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers.  This one was done in Lizbeth, size 20, Falling leaves.  It measures 3" across.

Here are a few of my sunflowers, when we lived up on the mountain, on West Pine.





If you look closely, just above the flowers, there's the moon.
