Outfit complete

-

With the addition of earrings (the findings have to be attached) plus shoe embellishments the outfit I plan to wear in Singapore and possibly Malaysia is now complete with all its tatting.








One of the next things I need to do very soon is change some currency and yes look for that passport!


I decided that a skirt which was about 36 years old had to really go, especially as the waist was only 26 inches!  Yikes was I really that slim once upon a time?  So I sold this patchwork skirt on e.bay.  The last and probably only time I wore it was in a hotel in Hong Kong when we went to see a show.  In fact I probably made it whilst living in Hong Kong.








On Friday we are going back to our home town and of course I will be staying with Jane and delivering some pop-a-bobbin shuttles.

    Hi Sally,

    What a beautiful shade of blue your jewellery is. I especially love the earrings. Have you time to produce a close up of them please?

    Don't know when you are leaving, but have a super time.

    Your outfit will be stunning.
    That is an interesting skirt. The material looks familiar to some I had years ago. Glad you were able to sell it.

    You must show us a picture of yourself, all dressed up in your finery! Enjoy the special time with your son - and will you be seeing Jon when you are in Malaysia?

    Very clever header, with the names of the woods of the shuttles!
    And I love the shoe embellishments (great idea) and earrings! Everything is perfect!
    That's a lovely skirt, and I'm sure the buyer will enjoy it.

    Wowie, those shoes are fantastic!!!!! Did you sew the motifs on or glue them or, better yet, are they interchangeable? (I see great potential here.)

    Have a wonderful and safe trip!

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...

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.

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 ...
