Scarf Trim

-

Another project I started almost exactly a year ago was a tatted trim for this scarf.   I never finished it at the time because I ran out of the big brown beads. When eventually I got some more beads to complete the project, interest of course was lost, together with the scarf!!








So instead of a fringe this long scarf has a rather smart tatted trim.  



Today was a bright and sunny day and I was really surprised to see the bits of the Cedar Tree that had been damaged in the storm had been chopped up.  











 Such an amazing amount of wood and so we are going to collect a few more logs tomorrow morning.

    The trim is beautiful! That is an unbelievable amount of wood. How many shuttles do you think could come from that lot?

    A lot of wood alright! Imagine how many shuttles lurk therein. I think the beads must make the pretty edging hang well, adding a bit of weight.

    Congratulations on completing your pretty scarf trim. You'll be able to make some very interesting items from all that lovely wood. I like the log - fourth on the right - it appears to have eyes! Have you yet had time to take a photograph of the pedestal which was holding the Advent arrangement? Would love to see the stand in its full glory. Many thanks.

    Edging a scarf with beads and tatting - a brilliant idea! It is beautiful. That tree must have been enormous! Cedar wood smells so nice, too.

    Thanks for all you amazing comments - yes Anne will take a photo of the table for the next blog post - thanks for reminding me.
    The wood is amazing isn't it? Yes many shuttles can be made but we are now thinking about larger wooden items, so much potential!

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 ...
