Reversable Necklace

-

After a long break from tatting button necklaces I have gone back to them, they are so relaxing to make and every single one is unique.  My latest one is reversible, the first picture shows the right side of the button.











The second picture shows the reverse side which looks just as good. I have placed two buttons in the middle to show what they look like both sides.








This necklace is, so far, my favourite. I used Karey Solomon's thread which I bought at Tat Days last year, it is called watermelon.  Although I think the colours remind me more of Summer flowers, something like these that were given to me a few weeks ago.







      

Two of my necklaces are in Jane's Etsy shop, although  they have to be worn to show them off to the best effect.  Now shall I start another one?!

    Oh, that's the prettiest necklace so far although I must admit I LOVE the two in the shop as well. The flowers are great - gorgeous colours.

    Yes, I agree with everyone, and I like the buttons because it also gives the necklace some weight while on your neck and holds it down. Love the necklace!

    Your necklace is very elegant in that colour - but I am more impressed with those gorgeous flowers! - was it a special occasion? They are really beautiful.

      I have given up an important role in Scouting which I held for many years so was given the flowers together with a cake in front of the children. My next role in Scouting though is to start a Blog up for the Scouting District I belong to. Obviously it will be a lot different from a Tatting Blog!

    Love it! I think I have some buttons like that. I never would have thought of using them for a reversible necklace... great idea!

    Lovely necklace. I agree that probably the buttons give it some weight and that is nice for a necklace.

    I bought your autumn toned necklace last year at Tat Days, and every time I wear it I get complements. And I wear it a lot!

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 ...
