Weird thing

I received a package in the post this morning...and I only vaguely remembered ordering it, It came from Roseground and I ordered it very late one night last week, after wandering around the tatting blogs.
So I opened my little box, wondering what I had, in my tired, and possibly slightly inebriated state, bought...
Iris Niebach's Tatting Doilies, a green "Sew Mate" shuttle and a pretty hand turned hook. This rang a bell and I started looking back, and found this entry from Dianne! I think Beatrice must have impressed me more than I was aware!
Now, I keep looking at Sherry's new silk threads...
Having said that I am only half way through with the next round on my current doiley, I ran out of thread which I couldn't believe, but I have a new shuttle attached now. Not a scrap of blu-tack in the house when it happened, a lack which I have remedied for next time.

How funny Snowy.....It's almost as if you got a package from a secret admirer...

Yes, it must be someone who knows me well!

That is too funny! I would never do anything like that - cough, cough, cough LOL I have just gotten that book as well thanks to Diane's recommendation. Good luck finishing the doily.

I'm so glad you bought that book! Aren't the doilies lovely? My goal is to tat every single one... for me!

Sherry's silk thread is wonderful! I'm making some crosses for my mom, but I think I'll have to make something special for myself. I think a silk bookmark would be the ultimate luxury for me!

I actually went and ordered some thread from Sherry and I am waiting to do the first doiley when it arrives...you guys will be the first to know I promise!
