My non-tatting friend Erin sent me some of her hand-crafted earrings. She's expecting her first baby in March and has left the world of geology science to pursue jewelry making. You can look at her stuff at Arabelle Jewelry Design.








Today's free pattern of the day at Annie's Attic by Ferosa Harold is a bookmark with crocheted bullion stitches, so I asked on several tatting lists if anyone knew of a similar looking stitch in tatting or a technique that would give a similar appearance. Someone mentioned roll tatting, which is reminiscent of the bullion stitch without the texture, but guess who came up with it? Go see Ruth Perry's blog. Now...if we can just get her to let us in on the secret!
