More Christmas Tatting

-

I have been making quite a few of these snowflakes in white and pale colours and now pleased with them.











My aim was to use bugle beads in the pattern, partly because I have so many of them but also I think they do enhance a tatted snowflake. Oh and by the way it is made in one go.



Here are some more Christmas Trees on buttons and now I really must get on and start writing cards etc.







If anyone is interested in the snowflake pattern please comment.  It has not been written out fully although I am pleased to share it with anyone if there is a demand, otherwise I will leave it so that only I am able to understand the instructions!

    My internet has been going out and in all day long I can barley have time to leave a post. I think I just left a comment on your blog for tat haven's in stead, and I it keep turning off on me so I got in a hurry and messed up. I apologize if it did. :( I do believe I left a comment on yours and I'll find out later on today, Love the snowflake and great use of the bugle beads!

    your snowflake is very pretty and so are your trees.
    A pattern by Sally Yeah! but it is certainly your prerogative to make it public, or keep it to yourself.

    Thanks everyone, I was just being really lazy and thinking if no one wanted the pattern then I could muddle through making endless snowflakes without writing it out properly! But it looks like I need to sit down and sort it out.

    Oh yes! - if you have time to write out the pattern, I would love to have it, I want to see how the "arms" of the flake are done!

    Look, look -- lots of demand! I'd love to have the pattern for your snowflake because one can never have too many snowflakes, and because it's pretty. I like your use of lock chains!

    Lovely snowflake! One thing about writing the pattern out properly is that you can come back to it later and not have to remember exactly what you did. But I know it's a lot of work.

    I don't know which I like better, the snowflake or the tree! They're both lovely, and yes, I would be interested in your snowflake pattern. Of course that will mean I have to go bead shopping...

    I would love a copy of the pattern, my daughter is requesting tatting from me, I let her choose some of my ornaments/tatting from years past-made when she was a little girl. I am currently doing a lot of knitting but will have to start tatting again.

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.

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 ...
