Such a rainy day

It has been raining all day off and on.  A good day to stay in and do some tatting.  That is right my crochet friends, I really do think I have my new passion.  I received my needles and have been playing around.  I do not want to give up on shuttle tatting.  I think I would enjoy if I could just find my way of holding the dang thread to suit my needs.  With the needle I can basically hold the thread like I would with crochet, so things flow much better.  Decided today was the day to make something useful.  :)  So decided on a bookmark.  It is called Tatted Bookmark designed by Sandy Baker.  Spent half of the day working on it and finished.  There is a big ole boo boo but I pressed on determined to finish.  Someone suggested to tat a flower or butterfly and place on top.  A great idea!  So after I find a pretty one I really like, will do that.  Ok enough babbling here is the picture.
