tat-a tat-tat...

I am still waiting for the needles to arrive

hopefully

fingers and toes crossed I will  have them today

but I know I won't now that I typed it

the mail hasn't come yet so there is still a chance

I discovered I had a cro-tat hook that a friend gave me a very long time ago

he had forgotten what it was for or how to use it

but he figured I'd know

which I didn't

until 

NOW!!!

I don't like it!!!

but I practiced with it

and one of the reasons I don't like it is because I don't know how to make chains

and I don't like the chains it makes

like crochet chains

tatting isn't crochet so crochet chains don't go

then I went back to the sewing needles

and did another practice thingy

I like that much much much better

much

so I finished it

looked at it a lot

looked at lots and lots of pictures of tatted stuff

and waited for those damn needles to arrive

OH and the shuttle

forget that

I stupidly got a metal one and it sticks me and I can't do the shuttle move at all

the over and under is a pain and I get knots and frustrated and the air turns blue

and that is no way to do something

so back to the needle

and last night and this morning I did

......................................................................................

this

all out of my head

no pattern 

just me 

and the needle and thread

and no blue air!!!!!

of course it isn't perfect or maybe even good

but 

if this is on a sewing needle and it worked

big hopes for the right equipment

when it gets here of course

who was the bright one who decided to share the mailing of things with the

different carriers and the Post Office

when it comes through just the PO

it arrives in no time

and I can't believe how slow other countries PO's are

I sent something to France and Italy before Christmas and still don't' think they got there

the people I sent them to would have let me now

oh well

this is how it's been the past few days

warm and foggy

but now it's raining and it's chilly

and

 the geese are sick of playing

MARCO......
