Tat Days 2009 loot

I was a bad girl at Tat Days vending. Last year I got lots of thread. This year, I got mostly the expensive stuff - books.

Here's what I came home with:



All the stuff in the top right corner plus the red Tat Days patch came in my goodie bag, a large reusable grocery bag which contained:

• Finca thread


• a magnifying glass


• beads


• a cute bag with circles on it to carry a current project in


• 2 great thread samples of Lizbeth thread


• a luggage tag with bug buttons


• a ladybug refrigerator note pad


• a metal box with magnets and small goodies, and a blue origami paper box

If you didn't know, the theme of this year's Tat Days was "I've been bitten by the Tatting Bug!" The bookmark was a freebie too.

On to my purchases. It's a good thing DH doesn't see my check book or my credit card statements.

I got:

• 2 balls of variegated Lizbeth thread, size 20. (Size 40 was there too.)


• 1 ball of Altin Basak variegated thread


• 4 plastic knitting bobbins, which I need to keep away from that bad cat Sylvia. She has ruined several of these. (They are the bomb for putting ball thread on.)


• 1 Skein of Yarnplayer's Vibrato HDT, size 20


• A darling decorated green Clover shuttle


• A CD of all the patterns at this Tat Days (not shown)

And I got books. This is where I was BAD. I got:

• Tatting Theory and Patterns by Jan Stawasz - this goes with my lovely gold shuttle he made!
  
• Tatted Fashion by Tieko Fujita


• Tatting by Pam Palmer


• DMC's color Tatting pamphlet


• An Italian Frivolite pamphlet


• And 2 books by Martha Ess - Tat's Amore and Tea is for Tatting. And I got Martha to sign each one!

Whew. Now I have to work to pay for my sins.
