I thought you all would be amused interested to see my automatic thread winder...now, this is a priceless model and non reproduceable...but I thought I would share...
Not very fast, but a delight none the less...and as I don't actually have to mind the business of winding it works out quite well for me...
My thread winder asks me frequently when she will be old enough to learn to tat...I only hope she will be as enthusiastic when she is old enough in a few years.
It's been a while since I visited my blogging space. And so...Here is evidence that I have been tatting...here you go...there are another 3 hair clips, 3 stumpy bookmarks, and 2 large crosses by Mary Konior. This is just this weeks finishes thus far...and there is more from weeks past as well. Some of which I still have and will try to share.
Life is busy, and I am not getting to this blog like I would like to. By evening, when I have time to update this blog, the light is gone and I seem to just get these yellowish photos as above or washed out ones with the flash. I am thinking, however, that perhaps a not so great picture is better than not sharing at all...I can't seem to decide, so perhaps you all can have a say...Do, please, let me know what you think...should I blog even if the best I can manage is a quick post from my cell phone camera? Or just let it go?
Green is about finished being loaded on the shuttle as we speak and my tatting habit calls...perhaps some shamrocks, or maybe I'll just do another stumpy...we shall see! I won't fail to keep tatting at any rate...
But does she hire out? Truly adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love your posts so I vote for more even if it's quick and cell phone quality. my two cents...
I am not sure you would want to hire her as her demands for stories and games of candyland and whatnot do cut into one's tatting time rather a lot! Thank you for saying that you love my posts, that means a great deal :-)
DeleteHow cute that you have a thread winder in the style he he.
ReplyDeleteI love to see what people do, even if their pictures aren't perfect, heaven knows mine aren't always perfect. I often can find a few minutes in the morning before work to take the pictures, then I find the time to post later that evening or the next after things settle down.
I will have to try to make the time for the pictures in the morning. That is a good idea :-)
DeleteI enjoy that style of thread winder! My granddaughters love to wind shuttles for me!
ReplyDeleteQuite handy isn't it :-) I can sometimes get a bit more tatting time in if I give her an empty shuttle to wind :-)
DeleteShe is the cutest thread winder I have seen!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the pictures as they are. At least you can see what has been tatted and the different colors(even if they aren't as true to color-which so many of us have had the same problem). :)
