200th Blog Post

-

To celebrate I am giving away this silk draw-string bag, a new hook holder and a dove.  The hook size is 0.4 and the wood is cocobola rosewood.  I did not make the bag or the embellishment but did add the tatting.  The dove has been cut from a plinth that was underneath an altar and is made from English oak, the plinth had been in the church for well over 100 years old until it was removed recently.










All you have to do is express your wish to win the give-away by making a comment.  You have until Saturday 17th March (St. Patrick's Day) and I will announce the winner on Sunday 18th March after using a Random Number Generator, so please come back then to see who has one, it could be you!



There will soon be some pop-a-bobbin shuttles for sale plus hook holders, and I will take a photograph of the new shuttles as the design has been refined again.






Meanwhile I wish you the luck of the Irish!



Thank you to all who have entered this giveaway, I just wanted to clarify that it is open to everyone regardless of where they live. I am prepared to post to all corners of the world!  Well that is as long as I have an address!

    I would love to enter for a chance to win the giveaway. I enjoy checking your blog to see what you've been tatting. The necklace (last post, maybe?) is lovely.

    Congrats on the 200th blog post! I do hope you continue to post for at least another 200. Now that I've found the tatting blogs, I'd be lost without them. Beautiful bag, hook and dove!

    I know I'm pushing my luck having recently won another give away but I'd love to be included in your drawing. If I don't win this, I'll just have to buy some of the hook holders.

    Congratulations on your 200th post...I don't know if I will ever get there and I am certainly not good at posting regularly! I do enjoy reading your blog, both for your lovely tatting and whatever is going on in the garage! It would be fun to win your lovely givaway.

    I can't imagine doing 200 of anything, especially if it involves writing. Congratulations on your 200th blog post. ;-)

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

-
Image
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 ...
