Fun and Games

A few blogs have already shown some great pictures of Tat Days especially the wonderful goodies that were given out or purchased.  But here are a couple of photos showing some of the fun and games that we had.

Thank you to all the  Palmetto Tatters for all their hard work in making the event such a success and so fun. It was great to see y'all.

    Have you seen the video of the tatting contest? It's available on the Palmetto wevsite! I was able to see the live Ustream, which I thought was amazing technology, even though it was a bit choppy! I saw you in the audience, while Jane was front and center! It made me feel as if I were there in person, and I appreciated the effort that went into making the communication!

    Glad you made it back home safe and sound!

    Wow, you said, "Y'all." You have come under the spell of the South!

    Thanks for posting these great photos. I don't have anything like them, and wish I did.

    Will you be posting more? (pretty please, if you can?)

    Sally, I always have trouble blogging from Tat Days too...usually my photos won't upload. At least you got photos to cooperate!

    It was such a treat to have you and Jane at Tat Days. Truly a highlight of my Tat Days 2012!

    Safe travels back to the UK and my fingers are crossed that you will be able to come back next year (or the year after).

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 ...

Remember, Remember, the 5th November!

In England we mark this day with bonfires and fireworks, although as the years have gone by it is less and less observed.   The reason we are called to remember the 5th November is that on this day in 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament, London with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitor with his co-conspirators for plotting against the  government . Which is the reason why a 'Guy' is made by stuffing newspaper into some old clothes to look like a man and then it is put on the top of the bonfire.  Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and plot; I see of no reason why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. So if you have stopped reading this blog by now you will not have realised that I am holding a 'giveaway' to mark this my 300th blog post, a day to remember for me and possibly you! This is what you will win when you comment giving one thing that you will remember...
