Tatting Tea Tuesday March 9, 2010 part 1 of 2 BEWARE!!!

I did some odds and ends today around the house, I was getting ready to tat and I wanted some type of something sweet, hmmmm but what to have?? ?? ?? I had some snack cakes here that I used for hubbys lunch usually there are extra but looks like a snack monster must have gotten into them so there was no extra for me and there wasnt even enough for the rest of the week... CRAP! So I thought What can I make, I wasnt in the mood to make cookies or a cake then I thought I got lots of different ingredients here. So I made some Tatting Tea Tuesday Sweet Insanity...
