Response: We like it because you can fix it the night before...and open a few presents while it is cooking!
Response: I really love tatting! It is very soothing and gives me something to do to keep my hands busy. A snowflake takes about 45 minutes, but rewards me more than that! Thanks for your kind comments.
Response: I am glad you like what I sent. I wish I could affer a tutorial,,,but I have only been able to teach in person. There are books out, but everyone I have talked to has trouble following them. Maybe you could find someone where you live that would help.
Response: You are so kind! I have had a tough day, and your note made me feel so great. Thank you.
Response: My "old maid" Aunt Pauline taught me to tat. She did it all the time, and I loved watching her. Most of my dresses when I was little had tatted lace on them. I am now teaching my 10-year-old granddaughter to tat. She is quite proud of herself!
Response: When I put swaps together, I love thinking that the recipient will enjoy them. I am so pleased that you liked what I sent. I hope we will be swap friends in the future.
Response: As I said in my message to you yesterday, I had not sent this swap to you because your address was not listed. When I checked, you were partially suspended. I was checking on old swaps that I had not closed out, and discovered that your address was back. I will be sending the swap within the next week.
Response: I have to confess....it wasn't my first Dotee! But it was the first of the 30 Christmas Dotees I am making for gifts this year. I am having fun creating little personalities and sharing with my relatives and friends. I am so glad you liked the Dotee and the cards. It gives me pleasure to make others happy.
Response: I sent extras for you. I like to put a bit extra in my swaps. I am so glad you liked them.
Response: Happy Birthday! I am so glad the box made it before your birthday. It is hard to wait. I got my swap and just sit and wonder what is in those packages. Have the best birthday ever.
Response: I am so gald you liked my Dotee. And I am most pleased that your son likes her. Children's praise is the best there is!
Response: You have made my day! Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement.
Response: I am so happy you are reusing my notecard. I love "recycling" things. Thank you for the heart.
Response: The magazine has been in my things for ages. I finally decided that I would share it with others. I am so glad you like it -- and my ATCs. I always think other people are so much more creative than I am. It's nice to hear encouraging words.
Response: I think my inablilty to think of ways I sabotage myself was some sort of sabotage! I am just very good at it! I don't think it is a positive thing, but something I need to work on. I am busy trying to be more aware of how I sabotage myself. Another way of growing.
Response: I am so glad you liked the jokers. I was very excited when my friend gave me the decks of cards -- I have been hoarding them. I was hoping you didn't have any like them. You are so welcome.
Response: I am so pleased that you liked what I sent. I was apprehensive about the ATCs, so I am glad you felt they were special. I am downsizing pictures, so chose ones that I liked but had similar ones. Tatting is easy for some people. I am not sure I could learn from a book, although there are instructions out there. You might find someone who tats and is willing to get you started.
Response: I am so glad you like it! I think it is fun to look at alder craft books. They remind you of how life has changed, even in just 30 or so years. I also got it because it had several crafts that you are interested in.
Response: What a nice thing to do! I hope you won't be disappointed.
Response: I really appreciate you being so patient -- and your wonderful comments! I really enjoy putting together packages and thinking about the recipients and how they might feel opening them. I am so glad you were pleased!
Response: Thank you! I appreciate your patience and understanding -- and your kind comments.
Response: I think tatting is easier than crochet. I too have problems with the shaping in crochet. I am not sure I could learn to tat from a book. Maybe you can find someone who could teach you. I am so glad you liked your package!
Response: How interesting! I wish we were neighbors and could tat together. I bet you would remember if you were with someone else doing it.
Response: You have made my day! Thank you for such a glowing comment. The "Joy" mini was one of my favorites too. I cut the base out of a catalog. Making mini and ATCs has made me read catalogs and magazines differently!
Response: I have a very red face. I just found your feedback. I am so sorry for the earlier e-mail! Thank you so much for such nice comments.
Response: Please don't be embarrassed. I am just glad that you got my word, which I dearly love! Keeping swaps organized is a real challenge. I have mine on note cards -- probably not the most efficient system -- and sometimes I feel like I am shuffling a deck! Thank you for the rating!
Response: Thank you for your comments. This was my first time making ATC's, and I was very nervous. Do you have any suggestions to improve them?
