We didn’t meet right away because I was here to help my daughter after she had surgery. By this week she was feeling much better and ready to get out of the house. So I emailed IsDihara and we arranged to me at the Potomac Mills Mall. And on Tuesday, no less!
Here we are, IsDihara on the left, me on the right, having a cup of tea. As neither of us knew what the other looked like it was like, how will we know who the other is? As I knew we (my daughter, her baby and my husband) were there first I figured the easiest way to let her know that it was me was to pull out my shuttles. So there we sat, in the food court of the mall, me tatting away. She had no trouble finding me!
I was so glad we could meet! As my daughter said to me later, IsDihara and I could have spent all afternoon talking. And she brought me the prize I won from her Halloween giveaway! How fortuitous is that!
Isn’t this pretty? This isn’t the best picture – it’s wonderful in person. It has a tatted pumpkin edging around it and the front has a pumpkin. Check out her blog Ambitatterous, I think her picture is better.
It was a great afternoon, a wonderful Tatting Tea Tuesday!
I have gotten a little tatting done. As I’m away from home I only have a few colors to work with so I’ve been doing a lot in the Lizbeth Falling Leaves in size 20. These two butterflies are my pattern, with Lizbeth size 20 black as the body and the edging. The heart is Tracy’s Heart, by Heather from The Tarnished Tatter, in the same threads. This heart is easy to do and will come in handy for notes and letters and such.
This has been a great week here with my daughter and her family. And a little extra bonus meeting another tatting blogger! And I’ve even seen a little of Washington – more tomorrow, I hope!
Happy Tatting everyone!
Nice to hear you had such a great week! Such fun, meeting another tatter. It is nice for us out here in Tat-land to be able to put faces to the blogs!
I like your Tracy's Heart and butterflies…. pretty colours.
Fox : )
Thanks again for meeting me yesterday, Wanda. It was fun!
Your butterflies and heart look great in Autumn Leaves!
How wonderful to meet each other, now I know what you two look like. Thanks.
Wowza! How amazing is that, to meet another tatting blogger who's delivering a prize from blogging!! You 2 look like old friends!
I love the butterflies with the falling leaves & the black around the outside really sets off that thread. Beautiful job!
How fun it is to see tatting bloggers meet in person š Glad you both got the chance to do that!
Wanda, that is so exciting that you got to meet a fellow tatter in person. That ornament she made you is lovely! I'm glad you had a nice time. Your tatting is so nice, too!
Congratulations on winning the beautiful quilted ball. And how fun that you got to meet up with IsDihara!!
Lovely butterflies and heart too!!
