first attempt...

I tried and tried a few days ago to make a little something

I don't have the necessaries

 yet

the mail takes forever

but

 I have needles 

and thread

so I thought why not

or

why not knot

:[

so with

  a

great

big 

needle

that has a very sharp point I must add

I turned on the computer and dialed up

you tube---

---tatting

and watched a couple of videos

as I am one of those who must see to do

not read to do

like so many others

if I see it

I most probably can do it

 I tried

and I did well for the first few steps

but then

the sharp end of the needle caught me

and it hurt

but so what

and then

the sharp end of the needle somehow scratched my nail

and 

THAT HURT

so I put it all away and decided to wait

and I waited 

and sort of forgot

but this morning while looking through the "papers" and starting my blog rounds

I saw the thread

I saw the needle

and I picked them up and

VOILA

my first bit of tatting without any of the necessaries

and

no blood to be seen

no bad words uttered

not bad knotting

I think I will like it...

...and I'm still waiting
