Another new pram has arrived today and this time it's from Ray who says:-

117. "Jane, 

I realized that I never sent a picture of the pink buggy I made from the TIAS for my granddaughter. The baby is due in a couple of weeks, but the doctor says it will probably come sooner. Our bags are packed and when we receive the word we will be flying from North Carolina to California to see the new baby. As you can see I put the buggy on a card I made and I was happy with the way it turned out.

Another pair of prams have arrived. This time from Isdihara who has this to say:-

116. "Sending along a scanned image of the two prams I tatted during TIAS 2013. I kept up with the releases through to the end, but set aside both baby buggies at the final installment because I didn't want the fun to end! (Kinda crazy logic, I know.)

I had so much fun with this TIAS! Thank you so much for all the work that you put into these annual events. Don't know how I ever managed to make it through January doldrums without TIAS.

Big hugs"

Today I have a 'two in one' message from Claire and Connie - the two 'C's'!! I'm counting them as 114 and 115.

114 & 115. "It's not that it has taken us this long to finish this year's TIAS, it just took forever to take the picture and send the e-mail. 

My friend, Connie, and I did it together this year. We each used Lizbeth size 20 Springtime for the pram itself and used different colors for the finishing parts. I used Lizbeth Spring Green, but I'm not sure what Connie used. We worked on the TIAS as it appeared, but did not submit updates as we went along. Connie didn't want to submit a picture, so I decided I'd do both of ours together."

Here we are now in April and prams are still strolling in!!! This one is from Mariann who says:-

113. "Dear Jane,I just started to tat, and when I heard that a little baby will be born in my boyfriend's family, I was searching for a pattern, which is good for greeting a new-born baby and her parents. I was searching a

lot, and on one of your friends blog I saw this beautiful pram, so I had this: THAT'S IT! feeling. With her help I found your blog and your pattern step-by-step helped me a lot. I studied a lot from it, thank

you very much!

Best wishes,

Mariann from Hungary"

Another lovely surprise arrived today from Adrian who says:-

111. Hi Jane

At long last, I've been able to get the last two parts of TIAS done. (Work has been intruding too much on life just lately, but I've got a break now, so I can spend some time catching up on everything I've been putting off.)

Thank you so much for running this again. As usual it was great fun both guessing what it was and seeing other people's guesses. Plus I got lots of practice with my Catherine Wheel Joins! :)

Today I have another pram from Sonja's pram so I thought you'd all like to see it.  She said:-
"Hello Jane
I was busy with painting some thread, because I wanted rainbowcolours. I needed a test for my thread and I made my third pram. You see: I like colours.
Sonja from Holland."

Next in today are two prams from Gea who says:-

110.  "Hello Jane,

Hereby finally my tias of 2013. Sorry it took so long. I had a lot of work but the worst thing I ever did was to choose black for the last parts of the cradle. The light in our house as terrible in the times I could do some tatting. Today bright day, just zero degrees outside, but the wind so strong it feels like minus 15 so i had enough reason ti stay inside and finish it. Thanks a lot for your work this year. 

Greetings Gea"
