Another Sheep Tail!

Baa Black Sheep - Baa Baa White Sheep - Baa Baa Grey Sheep - Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep

It seems Britain could face a critical shortage of professional sheep shearers this year, they usually arrive from Australia and New Zealand in May to give a short back and sides to 200 sheep a day. The dearth of shearers is blamed on British government immigration red tape. The would-be shearers must go to Canberra for fingerprinting, and visas are delayed. All this could mean losses for the farmers and disease for poor unshorn sheep.
However, I doubt anyone would want to shear the poor rainbow sheep! Mark that's your sheep.
Anke yours is the Grey One! Guten Abend

    Hi Sally, OOHHH I like all the sheep. What color and kind of thread did you use for the gray one and the rainbow one? I like the rainbow one, she's pretty!

    That's too bad about the sheep shearers. Hope they get that mess straightenedd out soon.

100th Blog Anniversary

To celebrate my 100th post and to thank all of you out there who have been so supportive to me and "I'm in the garage" over the past 17 months, we are giving away two prizes, each comprising of a hand made tatting shuttle.  One will be a Pop-A-bobbin shuttle and the other will be a post shuttle.  So there will be two winners.  The shuttles will be put in one of these specially decorated boxes. It is good to win something you really want, and some of you prefer using a post shuttle rather than a shuttle with a bobbin.  So in order for that to happen you have the option to choose which type of shuttle you would like and which box.  So when you comment please put either "Post" for Post shuttle or "Pop" for Pop-A-bobbin shuttle.  However, if you don't mind which shuttle, you will have a double chance to win, as your entry will be put in for both, so in that case please do not put a preference. As for the box, if you have a preference for the colour the...

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.

St. Andrews and Advent Giveaway

Today is quite special for many reasons it is Advent Sunday in the Church.  Advent is a term from the Latin word 'adventus' which means "arrival".  It is a time of waiting for the arrival of Christmas and is associated mainly with Advent Calendars and in particular the fun of opening to see what is revealed behind each number!  Whilst in Scotland the people are celebrating St. Andrew's day as he is the Patron Saint of Scotland.  Google has marked the day with a doodle of the Flying Scotsman - the world famous steam locomotive. However,  here on this blog there is a special giveaway.  Please leave a comment if you would like the chance of winning the shuttle and thread holder (please note this does not include the piece of wood underneath or the foliage), you have until 3rd December when I will announce the winner by using a random number generator. The shuttle is made out of sequoia,  the tree that the wood comes from stands in front of the ...
