Autumn around the corner

-

The nights are getting cooler in the UK and Autumn is just around the corner, it will be sad to say goodbye to such a lovely Summer of sunshine oh yes and a few showers!   Here is a necklace that I have been asked to make and will be making the first leg of it's long journey later on this week.   As you can see it has very Autumnal colours in it. 











And when you turn the necklace the other way the buttons look a bit different so it is a reversible necklace!







I'm now off to London for a few days, so had better pack some tatting!

    Beautiful necklace in autumn colors! That's a clever idea to use 2-sided buttons, and the thread colors coordinate with the bead colors perfectly. The previous necklace in the pastel colors is gorgeous as well.

    Both of the necklaces in these posts are perfect in every way By enlarging the photos it's amazing to see the beads and how beautifully you have coordinated the colors of beads and threads and buttons. And the finishing with the clasp is also neat and perfect! The reversible idea is great, too!

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 ...
