Tatting and Crochet

Cori | January 27, 2010

My friend Coretta makes the cutest little tatted headwear that she sells as Tatties, and at a very reasonable price, I might add. Tatting is a disappearing art that I think should not disappear! There are so many lovely and fun possibilities with tatting.
My Great-Grandma Mae tatted beautifully and endlessly, I understand. Since she [...]

Bel-a the Ball

Cori | November 20, 2009

Despite having a headache yesterday, I was able to finish my Granddaughter’s scarf and hat set. I love these colors! They seem very Arabela-like to me.
