Now I am going to take a break from the doilies and set to work on a heirloom project. I made the following heirloom doily for my daughter a while a go.
At that time I promised my son I would make a heirloom piece for him. Well he has picked his pattern and when I showed him today that I had started it he got excited and now he can't wait to see what the finished project is going to look like because I am taking a small pattern and adapting it into a large piece of tatting. It is going to be tatted in YarnPlayers' HDT Fern in size 80. It is really nice to have children that appreciate the tatting that I do. I know that they value it as much as I do. Well time to tat.

Both doilies are lovely. That doily in Tourmaline looks particularly beautiful! That is really sweet that your children appreciate your tatting talent especially when so much work goes into it; much more so than crochet or knitting! That's really nice! :)
I never tire of looking at your doilies, Clyde. I agree... tourmaline is gorgeous!
Those are both absolutely flawless, amazing pieces of work. That's wonderful that your kids are showing such interest and appreciation.
You do the most exquisite work, Clyde! Beautiful!

Beautiful, just beautiful! I know that both of your children will treasure these forever. They are very blessed, in many ways, to have you as a dad.

Thank you tatting friends for your compliments. They warm my heart and make my day.I was a stay at home Dad and Like to think that I raised my children to appreciate things that are really valuable in life.
I am certain you did a great job of raising your children. The evidence is there. Good job!
