MP: tatting for the season

Unlike the cross-stitching I did, the tatting is actually seasonal.

Oooh...I like the black snlowflakes. I want to do a white tree with all black, handmade ornaments.

I'll probably make more of the black ones, since they were my favorite to make [this isn't my favorite time of year anyway], and I have a few cousins with children who think they're "goths" so the black snowflakes will be good on cards.

hehehe...I'm the same way...too much Christmas annoys me.
But, I do love very graphic things...they have black christmas trees now. My bf and I have are talking the white tree with black, or a black tree with red. I think he likes the latter...I like something that lends itself to Christmas, but doesn't have to be all read and green and Santa Claus and "Jesus is the Reason" sort of stuff.

either the white with black or black with red will look nice, especially with as many tatted ornament patterns there are out there [and just general ornaments]

I saw the black trees & would love one, but alas, with 14 cats, any tree would be a war zone

Where I am now, there is a 2 year old. He has managed to tear up everything in the house lol.

But the tree won't be happening till next year at least. He's moving, I don't live there, and neitehr of us have hte money for a fegging tree lol.

oh my...yeah, I'll take the cats over the kid - cats can legally be put in a kennel when they misbehave ;)

well, now would be the time to start looking for patterns for potential ornaments then =)

LOL...oh yeah. I already have an "order" from my mother for next year lol.
