Born on the fourth of July!





Thats me! It's my birthday today and you folks over in America are celebrating it with lots of lovely food and fireworks, thank you! I hope you are having a lovely American Independence Day.
I tatted Martha's butterfly angel today, mainly because it is quick and easy to tat, well in theory, in practice it took me three attempts because I got myself in a muddle. The main reason for this was that I worked on it for five minutes and then put it down to go and do something else. I never think it is a good idea to put tatting down in the middle of a pattern, unless you know it off by heart.
I've received some lovely birthday presents including one from Singapore which I will blog another day. The one you see today is an angel an Irish angel.
My friend brought it back from the Emerald Isle, the necklace is made of pewter and it is called a Guardian Angel and you will see this written on the back, well of course thats if you can read Irish!

Happy Birthday! I've known people born on the 4th of July who really thought the fireworks and parades were for them...and then they got older and realized what all the hullaballoo was about, LOL! I can imagine it wasn't fun figuring that out.

Your pressies are pretty! Enjoy the day! :)

Happy Belated Birthday Sally!! I hope you had a wonderful day!! The tatted angel is so cute!
I am behind in reading blogs and I haven't posted a blog in some time. Maybe I will post a blog later today. I have been tatting, but haven't had time to blog anything. I spent 4th of July with my Mom and my son. It was a very nice day!! We even got to tat some in the evening. I was working on Jane's reversible motif. I'll have to post it. Have a great week!!
