Cup Cake Addiction

-

I have finally come to the end of the cup cake addiction and now on another one, which I will show you soon.



Here are some to wet your appetite - strawberry, lemon, chocolate and mint cakes with two pairs of earrings.  What was particularly good about this pattern was that it used up some of my bead soup,  so much fun using random coloured beads together.







A batch of pop-a-bobbin shuttles and post shuttles are just coming to the end of their production and now it is final testing, a stressful time! 









Sadly there are always rejects, and here are some of them from past batches, we do not have the heart to throw them away so they stay in a special box.

    Love the cup cakes! It is a good idea to keep the shuttles I am sure there will be a use for them I use mine to hold extra thread sometimes :) but I see a shuttle christmas tree :)

      Thanks for the suggestions Madtatter, but for at the moment they are destined to go back in the box!

    Could the rejects become pendants for tatters who might wear them as novelty jewelry? Or how about Christmas tree ornaments? I would hang one on my tree!

    Fun to have tatted cakes - there are many being knitted and crocheted these days too! I remember years ago when Nancy Tracy brought out her ice cream pattern! - lots odifferent flavoursf were being tatted, I think I did choc-chip and strawberry with sprinkles.

      I remember that ice-cream pattern Maureen, never actually got around to tatting it though. Yes cup cakes are very popular in all forms - including the real ones!

    They look good enough to eat. I am glad that the "rejects" don't get thrown away. There will come a reason some day just for them.

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 ...
