25 Motifs Challenge
I've decided to join this tatting challenge started by Sharon.
At one point of time I was doing a great deal of tatting during the week and teaching tatting at the week ends. Then I started having problems with my eyes - cataracts followed by detachment of the retina - and I was forced to put away my tatting.
Just as I was gearing up to start teaching again, my mother fell down and hurt her back and broke her wrist. Now she is almost bedridden, needs help to do even the smallest things. At 81 years of age, I'm just grateful it wasn't more serious.
Sharon's challenge, and seeing the response from other tatters has encouraged me to take up the shuttles again. I'm no designer, so I'm going to tat other people's patterns. I have collected quite an assortment of threads through the thread exchanges. I'm going to use as much of it as I can.
Blogging is another new thing that I'm learning from this challenge.

Hola
Me parece estupendo que hayas retomado el tatting, el primer motivo que realizaste me parece muy bello y me encantó el color del hilo, yo tengo poco tiempo para tejer pero siempre estoy tratando de aprender algo nuevo.
Espero que tu madre mejore pronto.
Saludos
Vilma
