Pendants

-

Last week there was someone in the church foyer selling a selection of knitted scarfs and jewellery she had made, she was raising money for herself and for the pre-school which meets in the church hall.   The  pendants she had made were primarily of beads and were hanging on long chains.  Um,  I thought, they remind me of aborted earrings that I started ages ago.  I looked for the single green earring I had made, and eventually found it. Part of the reason I was reticent in making the other one was because it looked rather large.  So I  put it on a chain and it looks much better now, and so I proceeded to make another two pendants.







The original idea for this design was from an earring pattern on Jane's blog. We have a Christmas Fayre coming up soon and I am going to see if they will sell along with some other tatted items.

    You could also make them into phone dangles - they're popular too. I hang my 'single' earrings (ones like yours that never get married!) to my handbag too. Those are so pretty. The blue one is really lovely.

    These lovely creations would make great scissor fobs too.

    Thanks Jane and Isdihara, obviously if they don't sell they can be re-cycled/reused into something else!

    they really are pretty, and I agree, they could be used for lots of little fob's on several little things, at walmart and other places they sell the little fob chains, and you can attach them right to those :D for phones, purses, keyrings, or anything :) they really are very pretty :) put a small cherry sized ornament in them and hang on mini trees for the holidays too :)

    These are SO beautiful and unique!!! I believe these will sell immediately!!!

    I'm curious about The metallic 'bell cap' at the top of the main bead. It seems to be attached to the bead, but somehow you can attach the tatting to it!

    Oooh...I love this idea! I'm much more likely to wear something tatted like this than tatted earrings or even an entire tatted necklace. I prefer the feel of a chain against my skin. (oops...that sounds kinky and that wasn't what I meant at all!!!)

    Beautiful I am sure they will sell, like you say they can be re-cycled if they dont.

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...

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.

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 ...
