Tatting

Hello All!
Did anyone here ever heard of tatting? I never heard of it until a few months ago. I am looking for techniques to make lace, I already know crochet, and in searching for other techniques, I came across tatting. It's so beautiful, I like it a lot more then crochet.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatting Just take a look.
So, I started collecting some materials and books to start. I found a nice book with very clear instructions on how to start tatting. So I am practicing on it now. I do it everywhere, even on the train to work and during my lunch break ^__^
For tatting you need a tatting shuttle. Most of these shuttles that you can buy in a craft supply store are kind of ugly and boring. I started looking for a really cute one. On Etsy I came across a seller that sold very beautiful painted shuttles.http://www.etsy.com/people/emsyjaneShe has a collection with different designs, all are equally cute. I bought a pink one with roses.I love it so much, It is very easy to work with to. I  have a few other shuttles, but they are a lot bigger, and this one is small and smooth, I keep choosing this one to work with XD.
^__^ In my "learn how to tat" book there is a practicing pattern of a little butterfly. I like the pattern so much that I keep making butterflies. I made a lot already. Here I am working on a chain of butterflies ^__^
A few days ago, I visited Amsterdam, and found a craft shop there. Inside I found some shuttles, and I was really surprised because I couldn't find them in any other craft shop. So I got very enthusiastic about them, and the shop lady told me she had some books on tatting as well. She showed them to me, and I picked two of them. I am so going to visit this shop again to buy some more books.But for now, I only have these two ^^
Hmm well that's about it for now. I think I will continue on my butterfly chain now ^^
Just one more picture thoughMy tiny tiny threat collection. I need some more, but for now, this will do ^^

Random update ^^

Hello there,
How are you all doing? Welcome to my new readers ^__^I haven't been around for a few weeks. So I thought it was time for a small update again.I don't have a whole lot to tell though, I am very busy with sewing and also with finding a new apartment to live in.I did get myself a cute new toy ^^I bought a Hello Kitty cell phone. It's a Samsung Star Hello Kitty version.The front The back, it didn't come with the roses, I put those on there myself.
Cute right? When I just got it, everything was in Hongarian, I don't know a single word in that language, but thank God for google translate^___^It is a great phone, very easy to use, it is a lot like my old phone, which was also a Samsung touchscreen.
With a new phone I also needed a new phone cover. I decided to sew my own Phonesock ^^I bought a very cute machine embroidery set some time ago, with cupcakes, so I thought it would be cute to use that set.

I am working on a summerdress for myself. I bought some adorable butterfly fabric some time ago, and I found some matching embroidery pattern, So I started this dress last week.It looks a bit weird here, because my dummy is bigger then I am, I am almost two sizes smaller than her, so the dress doesn't fit her at all XD.
I also bought this cute classical fabric yesterday I am not sure what to make with it yet, but I will just put it in my huge fabric stock ^^
Hmm well, that would be all for now.
