'coz we are tatters

Pin It now!

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 !!!

  8. Fabulous Muskaan. It was the words of the song, it only remains to find a music composer.

      Yes, I did do quite a lot of tatting in the evening (Wiosna doily), besides sipping tea & munching on chocolate ;-P
