International Tatting Day

For you non-tatters, a bit of knowledge.  April 1 is International Tatting Day.  And no, this is not a joke.  There really is such a thingLook it up.

It is celebrated by eating chocolate and tatting.  Or eating chocolate and enjoying tatting.  Chocolate and pretty things - what's not to like?  Everyone should do this!

I've tatted a bit.


And I'm wearing tatted earrings, navy ones like the black one I'm making above.  I like this pattern (it's mine) and it tats up fast, if you have the beads loaded correctly.  Unfortunately, I don't.  This is where I have to stop - I'm missing two delicas on my second shuttle.  Easy enough to fix at home.

But no chocolate so far.  I'm trying very, very hard to be good on my diet.  I will have a bit of sugar-free chocolate at home.

Wait!!  I found a high-protein chocolate bar!  I can have this as my snack!  Nom nom nom nom

Hope your day is good.  Enjoy tatting!
