Vintage/Antique books with Tatting

Absolutely hilarious!!! I was reading a section in one of the books about "how to be a good wife".... Ive spent days online looking for free public domain tatting patterns. I came across quite a few sites/vendors looking to get paid to provide them. Here is one that I saw... seller was listing tatted cap pattern c1910. It is c1915 and its in this book!

Marines Boot Camp

Brandi graduated from the Marines boot camp @ Parris Island SC, went to combat training in NC and is currently @ her MOS school for Aviation Admin in Mississippi. I was tatting the final cross on Family day (the day before boot camp graduation)! While Brandi was @ boot camp I tatted two different Rosarys for her in a varigated green DMC size 80 thread. I have a pale pink Catholic Rosary sitting here waiting to be mailed to Mississippi...
