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).

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 ...
