The last few hours of the year and I have no tatting to show, but I am surrounded by thread and beads in anticipation!  So instead of tatting I will show you a few pictures of our Christmas pyramid.








                                On each floor of the pyramid there is a different scene











An African nativity










A choir









Some Angels




A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

    Wow! - Much better than a Christmas tree! Where is the little choir boy that you showed us a few years ago? - is he on one of the levels?

      If it is the patchwork one then no, but there is a small wooden one and also a Vicar on the pyramid

    Love the pyramid. Almost looks like tatting on the surrounds. Enjoy tatting with those beads and threads in 2015!

      Yes the fret work does look like tatting, it was made over 30 years ago.

There are many reasons I have not kept up this blog, one being that I have to now recover the email that was originally used to set it up, so not exactly sure if any comments will be seen or recovered.  The other is that I keep up numerous facebook accounts (other groups) plus twitter and instagram so not much room in my life to blog! However, a comment from Maureen on my sister's blog has prompted me to post the dress we have each bought and how we have embellished it with a bit of tatting.

Another box contains these And yet another box contains these There is a final box of baubles but I don't seem to have a picture of them at hand.  The patterns for the large and very small baubles are on this blog.   I do hope your Christmas Tatting is going well.
