Happy International Tatting Day!!!

Well, today is the big day we've all been waiting for! Today, my friends, is International Tatting Day! What? You don't believe me? You must think this is some kind of April Fool's Day joke, right? Well, according to Holiday Insights it really is International Tatting Day! Here is what they have to say about the matter:

"When: Always on April 1st
Tatting Day has been celebrated internationally for over 4 years now. April 1st is the International Tatting Day.
Tatting is a needlepoint skill of making delicate, elegant tatted lace. It is enjoyed by thousands of people.
On this day, "tatters" around the world have different activities, mostly educational, to celebrate their hobby, and introduce it to others. Often, they celebrate by eating chocolates and making tatted lace."

Now, let's focus on the most important phrase in the whole paragraph: "Often, they celebrate by eating chocolates and making tatted lace."

Did everyone get that? So what do we do on April first of each year, no joking? Answer: EAT CHOCOLATE and make tatted lace!!

So, let me see if I have the proper tools to celebrate properly!
