Circles and squares Snowflake from Martha's new book 'Playing with picots',  I only finished this today and it is unpressed and thrown on the scanner so excuse the way it looks at an angle!



The really interesting part of the give-away post was reading what you all like (with the exception of few including my sister!) to listen to whilst tatting.  I did research a few of your choices,  particularly the ones that I was unfamiliar with, and thanks to Gill Devon who prompted me to watch 'The Choir' on BBC iplayer.  Being once a serviceman's wife (I'm in the garage used to be in the Army)  I could relate to how these wives live. Thank you Gill, and no not all husbands will make tatting shuttles, unfortunately!  Perhaps you should try locking him the garage until he does!

    Sadly it's true - I don't like music at all!!! I did see one other person like me too. Must try that snowflake too - it's so pretty.

    How very lovely! I don't recall that sticker being on the post when I made my comment (perhaps it was before my first cup of coffee that day). I'm thrilled to tears to have won something so pretty - now I'll just have to fight Girl Far From Home to keep it because she will surely want it. Thank you so much for hosting such a lovely giveaway! My address is on it's way to you!

    Congratulations to the winners! Love the snowflake... red would be perfect for my mom. I guess I'd better break out that red thread again!

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 ...
