even ladybugs need hobbies!

My current hobby is needle tatting. I have my grandfather's tatting shuttle, and always wanted to learn to tat. At the suggestion of Sue, I learned needle tatting as it is easier on my hands.

I started out doing a demonstration at Heritage Day. People asked me if I was going to sell any of my work. As Christmas neared, I decided to make snowflakes and stars for the local craft fairs. My tatting was a big hit, and I did well. This got me to thinking I needed a web page and business card just for my crafts (in case I get ambitious and take on other crafts as well).
