On International Tatting Day, 2015,
this nonsense verse is dedicated to us, the quirky Tatterati !!!
'Coz We Are Tatters
The room is all a-clutter
The family a-grumble, a-mutter,
But my heart is still a-flutter,
Stashing more thread is all that matters
'Coz I am a tatter.
"That money's for food !"
Oh, honey, I'm sure we're good.
Need a new shuttle in wood
Diversifying my collection is all that matters
'Coz I am a tatter .
There's a new book online
Well I mayn't tat a design
But that book has to be mine
Stocking my library is all that matters
'Coz, peeps, I am very much a tatter !
(muskaan . March 2015)
Make lace, not war :-D
Earlier today (31st March), Patty D, in a Craftree thread, wished that "there was a Tatter's Song". That’s when my brain went into overdrive ;-P Well, I couldn't belt out a verse on tatting, but tatters & our obsession with collection did emerge .
Feel free to use it as you wish (with credit).... spread tatting and good cheer today, and always :-D
Chat 'n' Tat 'coz we're the Tatterati !!!
Very cute did you write this?
ReplyDeleteYes I did ;-P
DeleteHehehee! Great job! Do you mind if I use this? Giving you credit, of course! I don't have a lot going for International Tattering Day this year and I'd love to have this as my quote of the day!
ReplyDeleteGo right ahead and use it ! Glad it brought a smile :-D
DeleteLove it! Happy International Tatting Day to you muskaan :).
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn, and wish you the same :-D
Delete:-) love your song Muskaan, have a happy tatting day.
ReplyDeleteAm still tatting, Jane and had a large bite of a large Toblerone ;-P
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the song :-)
I found a stash of Toblerone's in the junk food bin some months ago...they are long gone by now! Lovely tatting bouquet by the way :)
ReplyDeleteLol, now That's a stash that will never 'grow' .... it will naturally get depleted in record time ;-D
DeleteGlad you like the bouquet ... The 2 toffees at the bottom right are Usha's pattern. Rest are all my own doodad.
Love it! Happy tatting day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ninetta :-) Happy tatting to you, too .... may you continue to inspire :-)
DeleteFabulous Muskaan. It was the words of the song, it only remains to find a music composer.
ReplyDeleteMerci, Lilas :-) Now who will take up the gauntlet ;-P ???
DeleteHope you had a fun tatting day
Love your song, very true of tatters
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great day
Margaret
So glad you enjoyed the song, Margaret :-D
DeleteYes, I did do quite a lot of tatting in the evening (Wiosna doily), besides sipping tea & munching on chocolate ;-P
