Good news

Green is said to be the colour of hope so I will use that colour today. Surgery is over now and even though the arm is not that good right now I am being an optimist because the doctor said he thought that I will have a fine arm again and therefore I think I can get back to tatting and do well again someday - yahoo.
Now I just have to be patient and it will all be good and I can tat a nice doily again someday soon. I have had days where I thought that tatting would not be so good for me anymore but that have changed now. How would I be able to survive without it.
Those closest to me have not been a lot of help really, therefore it has been such a pleasure to me that my close tatting friends have been (and still are) there for me, thank you very much Maureen and Ginny. A special thank you and hug to Jenni who almost have been holding my left hand long distance, I will never forget your kindness towards me, mate.
And there are friends locally too that have been there for me - tusind tak til mine venner for at I har været der for mig.

Got to take a break,

I will have to take a break and I do not know how long it will be because I do not know how long it will take before my arm will recover after the surgery.
But I will be back as soon as possible. So see you later.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Det er tid til en pause indtil min arm er kommet sig efter operationen. Jeg vender tilbage når det er muligt. Vi ses.

WIP1 finished

It's been a while since I posted here but now it is a new year and wow isn't it exciting to think of all the new tatting projects that awaits us in the new year.
So I decided it was time to get some of my WIP done before I have the surgery and will not be able to tat for some time I guess. So here is a picture of the little red doily.

It is not perfect and definitely not ready for a close inspection but it is the best I can do just now. Hopefully later my tatting will get back to my usual quality. But I have better work on some of those WIP that I have, so there might be some new pictures soon.

New Square

I am working on a new square. It is a pattern from a German site, originally a runner but I am only testing it so I am doing a small square doily. I am doing it in red, I wonder if it is because of Christmas that I am tatting so much in red.

By the way Merry Christmas if there's someone out there reading this.

----------------------------------------------

I have finished the square so I have put a picture of the finished work here now.

Christmas Tatting

Here is the Christmas tatting done by me this year. Xmas bells.

The design is Inger Kristensens - another great design from her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tusind tak til Inger for at jeg måtte orkere dette mønster.

I am a tatter

I have shown a lot of knitting here and the knitting have done my arm so much good so I will continue to do that. But first of all I am a tatter, tatting is the love of my craft world.

Andreas got his scarf in the mail today and much to my surprise his mother told me when she phoned me, that she wanted to use it for him. I am so happy I have been able to do something for him that he will actually use. I hope the same thing will happen to the blue sweater that I will knit for him - he will come for a visit here on the 15th but I can not manage to get it done till then. I was told that he's got 2 teeth now, lol.

I have not had time to tat today so my work in progress is very much still in progress. But I have finally got that ribbon that I needed for the red heart that I tatted a while ago, so here is a picture of the finished heart. It will soon go into the mail and travel down to my Christmas exchange partner.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Det ender jo snart med, at jeg får helt travlt når Andreas og hans forældre kommer og skal spise aftensmad her næste lørdag, men hvor er det rart, at de gider komme så jeg ser frem til det. Han er nu 9 måneder og jeg tror han har alderen til et større tøjdyr, jeg tror jeg skal ud at se på en tøjhund til ham. Hans mor vil sikkert ryste på hovedet af mig, men han bliver nok glad, :-).

Tatting WIP1

I am tatting a little bit right now so I have better put a picture here of my work in progress.

Not a lot to say about it, it is a small doily from my last guild magazine.

I will add more when I have tatted some more.

The pattern is a bit tricky so it is going a bit slowly.

Jenni got her socks last week and she is enjoying them. Oh I am so happy she likes them even though it is summer down there.
