Thank you very much to all who entered. I enjoyed reading your comments and I really appreciate all of you who entered. It has been a fun three years. I’ve met some wonderful people through this blog, most on-line but a few even in person. Thank you all for letting me share a little of my life with you.

Country Fair Results and…Aliens?

I entered two tatted items in the local county fair, my Antique Motif Doily and a Heart’s Honor bookmark. I was so excited about the results of the doily I completely forgot to take a picture of the bookmark! I was the only one that entered tatting but it’s in the crochet class, so that means I won grand champion over any crochet that was entered as well. I’m just a little happy about it *bouncing up and down*. My bookmark got a blue (1st place), so I’m pretty happy about that, too. Just because you are the only entry in a category it doesn’t mean they have to give you a ribbon if they don’t think an item is done well enough. It still would be nice to have more tatting there.

I also entered a picture in the photography class for the first time ever. There are a lot of people who enter their pictures so the competition is tougher, but this one turned out so well I thought “why not?” It is a picture of the grandsons, taken this July.

I was pleasantly surprised to get a third place on it.
I’ve been playing around with this little motif, trying several different things. I did a split chain on it and realized I haven’t used it hardly at all, so am not very proficient with it. I also tried adding some beads, which meant I had to change the stitch count, which in turn made it look different yet. I showed it to my husband, who commented that it looked like a spaceship.
Hmmm, I can see that…
I enjoyed a glass of sweet, iced Vanilla Rooibos tea this morning, though not while I was tatting. I did get a bit of that in, too, just a little later.
I hope you all enjoyed a lovely Tatting Tea Tuesday.

And the winner is…..

Okay, you’ve waited a-l-l day with bated breath to see who won my giveaway.
You’ve waited.
And waited.
And waited some more.
You may have thought I had forgotten.
You may have wondered if maybe the site had problems and didn’t update.
Well, wonder no more. 
The wait is over. 
You can breathe now, the winner has been chosen.
I gave the name of each person who entered a number.  I used a random number generator to choose one number.
And the winner is…..

(Would you like to know what took so long?  It was a long day where things didn’t go quite as planned.  I meant to do this first thing, but then….)
Oh, all right already!   
I’ll tell you who won!
The winner is
Trayna!
Congratulations, Tayna!  You have won a wonderful box of goodies from me! 
Thank you everyone that entered.  I’ve had a lot of fun trying to figure out what the prize was going to be.  I’m hoping Trayna enjoys getting it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
As this is so late I’m not sure I’m going to be posting tomorrow for Tatting Tea Tuesday.  It’s going to be another very busy day.  But I plan on having at least one cup of tea, tatting for at least a few minutes (it will probably be in the car!) and maybe have a little chocolate. I envite all of you to join me tomorrow for a little communi-tea and do a little tatting of your own and take a minute for yourself with a cup of tea (or coffee, or hot chocolate, or hot apple cider, or coke or pepsi – okay, the beverage of your choice!)
Happy Tatting everyone!
