Sea Shells

-


Finished this necklace today, started it months ago but became very lazy when it came to attaching the findings.  I did not follow a pattern, so fairly pleased with the result.  I think the thread is Lizbeth sea shells. My problem is that when I tear open the packet to get to the lovely threads - I loose the label in my excitement!



Thank you to those who were concerned about where we are going to hold our Scouting event this weekend.  Fortunately we have found another field attached to a Scout headquarters that is available, this is a rural area but as you can imagine such places are in demand in the Summer months.  The theme of the day is "Long John Silver" to celebrate 25 yrs of Beaver Scouts and so pirates are the order of the day. Activities will include, walking the plank, collecting gold treasure coins, making pirate hats, plus an assault course.  The weather has slightly improved, so hope nothing else will mar the day. Everything has been purchased and my car boot is full, now need to work out timings.







Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen!              Yo Ho Ho!

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 ...
