Weekly Challenge #37– Tat it and See (AKA TAIS)
This weeks challenge again comes from Jane Eborall. This week, we are highlighting her annual TAIS challenge. A TAIS is a tatting pattern that is given out piece by piece, leaving the final motif a secret until the end. Currently, the 2014 TAIS is on day 4, so it is a perfect time to join in. Most days take less than 30 minutes, and people post photos of there work as they go, so you never really get to far off.
Tat-It-And-See
Part of the fun is also trying to guess what you are making. Some of the guesses I have seen include a nativity, a sail boat, a bonnet and a garden archway. It is amazing how tatting brains work, isn’t it.
So, join in the fun. For me, this is a great way to get back to tatting after the holiday rush. share your pictures with us and with Jane.
Enjoy,
Davina-Marie

Weekly Challenge #35 – Music Notes
This week’s pattern is by the terrific Nancy Tracy.
Pattern: Music Notes
Tatted Musical Notes – designed by Nancy Tracy and tatted by Natalie Rogers.
I was trying to figure out what to tat as the first challenge of 2014. I went back and forth between snowflakes, various animals, and all sorts of amazing designs by many different designers. Finally, I decided that music was the way to go. I love celebrating with music! Music plays a big role in both my memories and how I prepare for things to come. So I hope you enjoy a New Year full of music, laughter, and loved ones!
Happy New Year!
