"But, really, why does anyone create? You feel a... a restlessness inside, a need to make something new, something no one has ever seen before. You want to add to the beauty and the richness of the world with a gift, an offering that is uniquely yours. It's an act of selfishness and generosity, all rolled into one."

A Quick Little Giveaway

A tatter who wishes to remain anonymous has made a very kind offer. This person has donated the cost of two copies of the "Angels in the Snow" pattern, and wishes me to give these two copies away to two readers. If you wish to be entered, just leave a comment on this post. It is currently nearly 8:30 a.m. Mountain Standard Time on Saturday. This giveaway will close in 24 hours, at 8:30 a.m. MST on Sunday. At that time, I will draw the two winners. These patterns are delivered by e-mail, so you MUST include a working e-mail address in your entry. If your Google profile includes your e-mail address, that's fine, but please check to see that it does. If it doesn't, or you don't have a profile, you can tell me your address in the form of "yourname at emailprovider dot com" so that the spammers don't pick it up.

A great big THANK YOU to the person who made this donation!!!

This is the latest one I've tatted. This time around, I changed the inner rings to LTR's so that I could add those beads. The thread is "Forest" by Yarnplayer. I really like this colorway; you don't often see these dark greens in a variegated thread, and I think it's perfect for Christmas.

    Hi, Miranda,

    Please do NOT include me in the draw!

    I just wanted to comment: this is very pretty with the beads! The colour is, as you say, unusual with the dark greens.

    I am tatting another, also with beads. Love the pattern.

    Oh I like the beads and the thread too. IF I were to win I'd add beads to the big central rings AND to the other outer rings too. Hmmmm, I'm addicted to beads, I think!!!

    Miranda:
    This site is amazing! I love your work. I'm a friend of your dad's at Oakhurst. I also have a mild TBI and have done crafts all of my life. I took up pottery in my recovery from 2 auto accidents in 1992. It took me years to get diagnosed with the right meds, etc. Thanks so much for what you are doing in your direct hospital care, education on this site, and fund raising. I'm doing some simple crochet, but I can't imagine doing tatting, much less making up patterns. You are truly gifted!

    Tatters are so generous! I'd love to be entered into the drawing...I have admired that pattern for a while now, wondering if I have the skill level to make it. It looks smashing in the green with the beads.
