A selection of necklaces

-


As well as the button necklace this has become one of my favourites and I just can't stop making them. They have also been admired by many people who are amazed to hear that they are tatted!










These two are using HDT from Natalie at The Yarn Yard. The one above is called 'Fairground' and the one below is 'Caterpillar'. The colours are so vibrant.










The next two are threads that Sue Anna kindly sent me the first one is 


Lizbeth 'Niagara Falls'












And this one is a HDT called 'Snowflake', these are much paler colours but they still look just as good especially on a darker skin.












You will have noticed that in a previous post I ordered the beads for the centres and I thought I had enough findings, until I came to the silver lobster clips and so ended up searching old jewelry for them! Must go and buy some.





Most of you have probably heard by now that I am accompanying Jane (well she is actually looking after me!) to the Palmetto Tat Days in September - this will be a new experience as I have never been to the USA before and I am so looking forward to seeing people that I have come to know through this blog.   I think we should be called the 'shuttle sisters', what do you think?

    The shuttle sisters - that's funny. Perhaps we're related to the shuttle brothers - Gary and Randy. That would be REALLY great.

    I love your necklaces, especially the blue one! ; )

    Shuttle sisters, indeed! I wish I could attend Tat Days, but it's not in the cards this year. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time!

    Definitely the Shuttle Sisters! - what a wonderful idea, but it rather leaves 'im in the garage out in the cold, doesn't it?Oh well, perhaps you can just give him an extra heater to keep him happy.
    I hope you'll take lots of pictures at Palmettos,it will be really special for both of you.

    Thanks for all the compliments.
    It is such a shame that you all can't make Palmetto and I can't believe that I am going - but the flights are booked so must be!

    I must have missed this! The necklaces are all so pretty! You have been very busy tatting with wonderful coloured threads.

    I am so sad that you will cross the pond and I will not be able to meet you and Jane. : (

    This must mean that I must find a way to travel to Britain... : ))

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 ...
