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.





Jane and Martha attempting two handed tatting

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).

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.

Playing with a raindrop

Raindrop No 3 petit is the name of this motif which Karen kindly linked from her blog  to a Japanese blog . I could not resist having a go at tatting it and decided that adding a button in the middle really made a difference, but as you can see the addition has made it slightly larger.     I have some more thread at the ready to tat another one, but again it will be different to these.  Over the last few months I have missed tatting with beads so feel that the next one might need a little bling!

Epiphany - Giveaway

Although may I  ask you kindly to enter if you are a regular follower of my blog or comment regularly. Sorry to put this restriction on the giveaway,  but I do want those who genuinely would like to win the shuttle to enter and not people who try their chance for the sake of it.    So please comment if you would like to win the pop-a-bobbin shuttle and the box at the same time  adding your favourite all time gift, but it has to be an object and not a person! The shuttle is made from plum cherry and this is what it looked like before it was worked upon.  Also the shuttle is unvarnished, sometimes this helps to show up the colours better. However, there are times times when the varnish enhances the grain.  Now the other side of the shuttle. Last night I went to a 'Pies and Punch' evening to celebrate Epiphany and won this oil  diffuser, for those ...
