SummerTime Exchange and TIAS 4 Completed - A Lighthouse

After 12 instalments with a lot of block tatting and a lot of "forcing" through lock stitchs to join chains, I'm so happy & glad to complete the TIAS 4 - a lighthouse bookmark. This is a good one for TIAS, thanks Sherry! Do check out everyone's lighthouse in the TIAS Homepage.

I have an even happier cause for rejoice. My summertime exchange from Vicki is finally here, after 2.5 months! There is no clue what the box had gone through or where it had travelled to for the extra 2 months, but it finally arrived as good as it should be. Vicki has packed in such wonderful goodies! I loved the tatted green amulet bag best - Vicki's own design. Did you notice those small flowers beside it ? It is such a great idea - Vicki has used those magnetic beads for the centre and my girls are so excited and keep playing with them. All the threads are wonderful treats. And lots more! Thanks, Vicki!
