St. Patrick's giveaway

-

To celebrate today I am giving away a few Irish related  items.  I have deliberately kept them flat and light so that I can get away with low postage. The reason being is because everything I post seems to be international especially when it comes to tatted related items.



So all you have to do is comment on this blog, but you only have just over 24 hrs or the Irish Luck will run out!  I will announce the winner tomorrow evening after 8 pm GMT 

















Since taking the photograph I have burnt a shamrock on the shuttle and the winner can choose their name or some other words to go on  the other side (although  not too long please)











The 'S' for shuttle is an embroidered Book of Kells letter but is not included in the giveaway.



May the luck of the Irish be with you!

    Luck of the Irish to you, Sally. My niece jumped up and down when she saw this -- she's doing her "country report" for 6th grade on Ireland this year. Please include me in your pot of gold!

    I'd love my name burned on the other side of the shuttle, once I win of course. Happy St. Patty Day as we are all Irish today.
    Best

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 church in the village
