Giveaways

-
I have been absolutely overwhelmed at the response to my 100th post giveaway, and there is still time to enter! Thank you so much.  As I write this there are 91 entries so there could be 100 or more when it closes on Saturday. The comments are all so encouraging and wonderful and in some cases humorous (StringyDogs).  It is also good to hear from people who know or remember this part of the world (Robert Kent). Those new to tatting who have found "Tat's Heaven", and even those who have not even picked up a tatting shuttle yet! - can you be encouraged to do so? Last but not least to read the comments from those who I have got to know through this blog and are now my "tatting friends".  I wish you could all win, but there are not enough shuttles and boxes to go round for that to happen! Sorry.



For those of you who are unfamiliar on how to purchase the shuttles that "I'm in the Garage" makes, this is what happens. When they are made they are put into my sister Jane's Etsy shop. This happened this morning and they were all sold in less than 24 hrs!  However, next time Jane said she would release them later on in the day to give those on different time zones a fairer chance. Sadly we have found it impossible to make them to order as so many people want the shuttles at the moment and there really is not enough time to make them that quickly and we do not want to keep people waiting for their shuttles for months on end.  Jane will announce when the next batch of shuttles are going to be put in her shop. Different woods are being added all the time so there will be a wide variety of choice, you just have to be patient!



To prove that people do win "giveaways" this is a picture of what Gina sent me when I won her giveaway which was to celebrate the 4th July, my birthday - oh sorry American Independence Day.  Thank you Gina for your generosity particularly as I was only expecting a bookmark!



I will announce the winner of my 100th Anniversary Giveaway on Sunday in the meanwhile please keep your fingers and toes crossed!

    Congratulations on winning Gina's giveaway. You sure received some nice gifts! Giveaways are such fun, aren't they? Even when you're on the giving end (I think!).

    Sally, your 100th post is quite a feat! (Well, at least to me who's still struggling to go beyond the halfway mark. LOL) Congrats!

    Glad to have made acquaintance and know we do have some things in common. To add just one more to it... my BD's in Jul too! Haha, there you go.

    Have fun with your giveaway. I should plan one too.

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 ...
