I like candy!

...tatting candy!


When I was on jury duty Monday, they gave us a 2 1/2 hour lunch break... not long enough to make the drive home, so I treated myself to lunch at Panera Bread and then headed to Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and JoAnn Fabrics.

I found decorative tape at Michaels, and two packages of Clover shuttles at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's. I wonder why each store only stocks two packages at a time? Anyway, I decided to do a little blinging!

The tape wasn't quite wide enough to cover the shuttle, but I think it was close enough. The shuttles look so bright and cheerful, I decided they would look tasty in a candy dish. Don't you just want to pick one up and tat? :-)

  6. What a great day for tatting for you - first you get time to sit and tat and then you get time to shop for shuttles! They do look yummy in the dish.

  11. Too cute! Now would you want to actually pull out a shuttle to use - it would make the remaining shuttles a bit less colorful:)
