A NEW Book arrived from the UK that I found on E-Bay. It is the book, Butterflies, by Adelheid Dangela, and was published in Denmark. The butterflies are beautiful; but, I'm not too sure I'm capable of such work! Her shuttle work looks like bobbin lace! It is nicely illustrated (by Kirstine Nikolajsen and Inge Lise Nikolajsen. I think it would be wise to begin with an easy one! LOL

I love getting new books! They keep me inspired!
I got that butterfly book recently. Talk about intimidated! I'm going to try one of them, though...one of these days.
Oh WOW Marty, if YOU ARE intimidated, I'm just plain scared! lOL (just kidding ~ I dash in where angels fear to tread) They are really beautiful.
I'm trying to decide how to handle the tatting books (some are rare) after I'm gone (I mean planning ahead, can't do anything after I'm gone...duh).
My daughter is 'sort of' interested in Tatting; but not 'really' I'd like to keep those together that have been done by one designer; like Mary's books, E. Nichols' et cetera. And the really vintage originals; ie: Hees book.
I know some guilds have libraries (ROT for one): I'm not a member of International Lacers . Have to give that some thought as some of the books are fairly valuable now.

The book? Never heard of it. Sounds very intimidating!Interested to see what you tat....
Way to go, Bev! Transferring everything to the Mac is quite the challenge! I have a PC now, but in the future would love a Mac, and the thought of what you are now involved with makes me shiver!!!
Fox : )
Oh Fox, in my dreams. I still haven't plugged the new printer into the MAC ~ Both Jane and Love 2 Tat have both transferred THIER files; I'm behind the curve.
The Mac isn't really as difficult as it sounds; it's just that I've worked with Windows for several years and Mac is just Different. It is actually easier, if I'd started with this system to begin with.
PLUS, now if one wants, they can have the windows program on their MAC also. It works with Windows programs, pdfs et cet.
BUT I did tat 3 rosettes today! And the DELL is functioning again; AND I finally was able to fully download the drawing program ~ but I like NeoOffice program better.
