I finished my birthday giveaway!
I found this adorable fabric when daughter Joanne was visiting back in April. I knew what I wanted for my birthday giveaway, but somehow I didn't manage to get around to it until this week. I really need to keep some of those round tuits on hand.
Anyway, the winner is receiving the Origami pouch bag, two decorated shuttles, and a bookmark in Juicy Watermelon. I have a matching set, so the winner and I will be Twinkies... at least that's what the kids at school tell me!
I received a new shuttle and a key chain from Irene Ho yesterday. Irene's dad carved the shuttle out of bamboo, and I am lucky to be one of the people she chose to test it out. It is so smooth and warm to the touch. It did take a little bit of adjustment. For a little while I was catching the thread in the fork. I adapted quickly, though! It's the shuttle I used to tat the Juicy Watermelon bookmark.
Granddaughter Eva called me this morning to let me know that she's working on her chain. A few of her stitches didn't flip, and she can tell because she can see the green instead of the pink. Now, I call that progress! Oh, and she's teaching her mom (Alison) to tat!
It's incredibly hot here, and my sinuses are not liking the current weather pattern. I guess that's as good excuse as any to sit around and tat!
Oh... did you want to know who won my 60th birthday/5th blogaversary giveaway? Allison! Congratulations! Don't you think it's appropriate that a young lady who just graduated with a horticulture degree should win a bag and shuttles decorated with watermelon-inspired flowers?
