I went to Hobby Lobby...

and look at what I found!

I really, really, really needed some more shuttles and thread winders. ;-)

I was so surprised to see these, I snapped them up right away. There were two of each, so I stopped by Denise's and gave her a set. She really, really, really need some more shuttles and thread winders, too!

Have you started tatting from Jan Stawasz's new book, Tatted Treasures, yet? What was the first design that caught your eye? I fell in love with this beautiful cross. I started it last night, and finished it this afternoon.

The thread is size 20 HDT, Spring Grass from Marilee Rockley aka Yarnplayer. This is the same thread I used for Aidan's Seahorse Dragon. I love the blend of greens!

for Aidan...

I knew a frilly A wouldn't do for my grandson, so I decided to tat a Seahorse Dragon instead. I love this pattern, but I haven't tatted one for quite a while. The pattern is an adaptation by Anne Bruvold of Debbie Arnold's seahorse. When was the last time you tatted one? ;-)

I used size 20 Spring Grass HDT from Marilee Rockley aka Yarnplayer... the perfect color for a Seahorse Dragon!
