Did you know that April Fools Day is also International Tatting Day?
Many tatters still don't know about our special day. So in the interest of getting the word out far and wide, I am having another giveaway!
Enter for a chance to win this pampering set from New Hands Soaps and Lotions.
NHSL is my twin sister's Etsy shop. In February Igoya prepared a Posh Petals custom set for me to use as a prize. In it was an indulgent combination of chocolate lip balm, champagne and strawberries linen spray and posh petals soap.
As good as that was, this gift set is even better! Amber romance is a warm and mildly aphrodisiac scent with black cherry, creme Anglaise, sandalwood, sensual amber and Egyptian musk.
Included in the prize package is a 6-ounce lotion and two 7.5 ounce bars of long-lasting, handmade soap.
And since we're "partyin' like its our birthday," I'm throwing in a skein of Tatskool's Vanilla Sky hand-dyed thread. Just in time for Easter or Spring tatting projects.

Wanna see my past posts for International Tatting Day?
2009 - International Tatting Day – No Foolin'
2008 - No Foolin' – International Tatting Day
Each year in honor of International Tatting Day I sit down to tat with my fish-shaped shuttle. Over the past two years I have searched in vain for a Celtic fish pattern. If anyone finds one please do forward details or a link.
That said, it would be remiss of me not to point out that Jane Eborall offers many wonderful animal patterns for free, including an impressive goldfish in three sizes, small fishy earrings and even a starfish.
Special thanks to Georgia Seitz for making my beloved fish shuttle and Lady Jane for sharing her limitless creative artistry.

Now, let's all spread the word about International Tatting Day!

You are a marvel for spreading the word about tatting and all things tatting related. Good luck with your giveaway, may you have a 100 thousand entries.
I always hide April 1st! Please enter me into the draw.
I just learned about International Tatter's Day a year or so ago. I think it is a wonderful day to celebrate tatting! (Must admit I celebrate tatting almost everyday of the year.) But do make a special day of it on April 1st.
Happy tatting to all!
I'm not leaving details as I'm merely commenting...
I didn't know there was such a thing as International Tatting Day, thanks for spreading the word. I will try to make something special that expands on the skills I've learnt so far in order to celebrate.
I'm doing my magical "pick me" dance.
Oh I like "partyin' like its our birthday", and International Tatting Day is just one more reason too.
I love celtic tatting, and a fish would work up so nicely in a celtic form. I hope someone sees your request and creates one.
Fantastic! Since I've only recently picked uptatting this will be my first year to celebrate!
i've heard of international tatting day but don't seem to remember it until it's over. i shall consciously remember to tat something on that day... thanks for the reminder.
