The problem I have is that I like to make lots of things. I try to add my tatting to whatever I make but sometimes it isn't possible. I am making things for a very cute local store and they are selling my jewelry. So, guess what I am making? I am also making tatted items for their new wedding line, which I love to do. Today, I am taking some wedding items there and we shall see how they are received and if they sell.
I have also taught a tatting class there and have another class next week. I wish more people would like to learn tatting. Everyone always says how beautiful it is, but I guess they think it is too hard to learn. In a way it is a good thing, because it stays a unique and beautiful craft and not everyone tries to do it, like making those popular scalloped scarves. :). I have made those also--about 40 of them--and sold them all at that little shop. But lately, the yarn has gotten much more expensive and very scarce. I think I have spent more time looking for specific colors than I have knitting the scarves. Are these scarves popular where you live? Anyway, I need to get back to tatting. Although, I did sell two tatted bracelets last week on my Etsy site. They were for little girls ages 8 and 10. I sure hope I made them small enough for their little arms. Well, I need to go and finish up my items for my wedding line. I will be back!

Yes, they're popular here in South Africa too, though I suppose they're a bit faddish and will disappear after a while. Well done for selling so much, it's not easy to sell handwork.
