Guess who has returned??? (and a GIVEAWAY!!)

LIVI AND I!!!

We both had a blast!  Livi loved all the attention that she got from all the sweet, sweet people we met!
I did not get nearly as many pictures as I wanted or even that I intended to get.  I did manage to get a precious few though.!  This one is of Livi wearing that tiara that Mrs. Margaret W. so graciously gave her.  So sweet! She loves it and I will be putting it up for safe keeping! :o)

Here is a picture of Livi and myself with Marilee and JB!
Such sweeties!

Livi got the camera for a bit! 
Here are my two favorite pictures that she captured!
Love this lady!


These are of course of Jane! 


I also had a nice chat with Sharren.  She was fabulous as well!


She even gave Livi a little tatted Angel for being such a sweetheart. 

When Livi wasn't being a social butterfly handing out suckers, she did spend a little time chilling under the vending table. :o)



One of the many times that Livi was seen captivating those near her. :o)

She also did all of my purchasing.  She didn't want any of my help.  If I wanted to buy something she would get my key, get the money, and take it over to Teresa at the register and pay for it. 

I was so proud of Livi this weekend, she was on her best behavior!
I got many compliments on her overall wonderfulness!

I will post pictures tomorrow of all the goodies I bought along with the very little that I actually tatted.
It was so funny that I went to Tat Days, but because I was so busy between being a vendor, being mesmerized by all the people, keeping tabs on Livi or helping Livi tat, I hardly picked up my shuttles at all. 
Go figure, right?


OH!!! And this IS my first blogaversary, so how about a little giveaway as well, huh?
The prize will be a SURprize! 
But undoubtedly it will included HDT.
(+ other goodies)

So, to enter, leave a comment on this post.  I will pick one random winner on Friday, September 14th. 

Also, as I count up how much thread in each colorway I still have left, I will be adding them to my Etsy shop.  
I have quite a bit left. :o)

  4. I'm glad you had a great time. I do hope that I will be able to attend an event like Tat Days one of these days. Tatting is such a rare endeavor out where I live that I had no idea such an event was held anywhere. People occasionally ask me what I am doing (when I tat in public) or sometimes ask me if I'm tatting, but I know absolutely no one else out here who tats (although I certainly taught a lot of Southern women to tat before I moved to the Southwest).

  28. Congratulations on your blog anniversay. It is alway nice when you get lovely comments about your child or children and their behaviour. I always think as long as they behave in public, I can put up with the mischief at home, and at 19 and 17 there is still alot of mischief. Glad you and Livi had a great time at tat days.

  29. Congratulations on your blogaversary. Have you been blogging ONLY one year? It feels longer than that (in a very good way).
    I miss lovely Miss Livi already. It was such a pleasure to meet you both IN PERSON!
    Thank you for being at Tat Days, even though you did not get to tat much. (Enjoyed sitting with you in Kaye Judt's class!)
    I certainly did major damage to my budget with your yummy-licious threads. I look forward to the Livi-licious colorway.
    Big hugs to you and to Livi!

  30. Hi Jess!

    Tat Days was a blast! And, your beautiful, rich-colored threads nearly put me in the poor house! ;-)

    I am delighted that you had such a good time. I hope you sold lots of thread (I know you did to me, but other people, too).

    Happy Blogaversery. Congrats on having a wonderful Livi (so cute and self confident!).

    I'd like to be entered also. One can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much thread. (I am becoming an "Unrepentant Thread Junky")
