Not another angel!

This is my surplice which I wear in church. I attached the tatting trim because otherwise it looked so plain. My only problem is that I often find I get stopped in my tracks as it seems to catch itself on to the altar rail or a chair or other part of the church, and then I have to unhook myself! Many people comment about the effect the tatting gives to the surplice and I very often have to explain what tatting is!

    Beautiful edging! I clicked on the photo to enlarge it and got an even closer look!

    That is good that your surplice gets the attention because of the tatting. Good conversation starter. I am sure the attention to you stammering up the alter because the tatting gets caught is equally amused :-D

    Can't think of a more perfect place to display tatting. Heavenly in fact!

Renulek Doily finished

I finished this doily a few days ago but I am actually not that happy with it, the thing is the  piece really needs damping, blocking and a good press.  This should not be needed but I think some parts of the pattern did not work that well.  I have used three makes of thread on this doily Manuela, Coats and Lizbeth all 20.

Playing with a raindrop

Raindrop No 3 petit is the name of this motif which Karen kindly linked from her blog  to a Japanese blog . I could not resist having a go at tatting it and decided that adding a button in the middle really made a difference, but as you can see the addition has made it slightly larger.     I have some more thread at the ready to tat another one, but again it will be different to these.  Over the last few months I have missed tatting with beads so feel that the next one might need a little bling!

Epiphany - Giveaway

Today is the Feast of Epiphany and so I thought it was a very good day to offer a few gifts of my own. Although may I  ask you kindly to enter if you are a regular follower of my blog or comment regularly. Sorry to put this restriction on the giveaway,  but I do want those who genuinely would like to win the shuttle to enter and not people who try their chance for the sake of it.    So please comment if you would like to win the pop-a-bobbin shuttle and the box at the same time  adding your favourite all time gift, but it has to be an object and not a person! The shuttle is made from plum cherry and this is what it looked like before it was worked upon.  Also the shuttle is unvarnished, sometimes this helps to show up the colours better. However, there are times times when the varnish enhances the grain.  Now the other side of the shuttle. Last night I went to a 'Pies and Punch' evening to celebrate Epiphany and won this oil  diffuser, for those ...
