Bags and Bracelets

-

I have been given some lovely material, most of which has a nautical theme, so beach bags seem to be the obvious items to make from it.    I really don't get much time to spend on them so it is something I pick up every now and then but really enjoying making something that is big and bold!
















And of course I made some more bracelets

    I did a double take... I thought the top bracelet said wine, and I thought, hmmm... a drinking bracelet? ;-)

      Well what a fab idea Diane a drinking bracelet - my friend Winn who I plan to give it to will be so amused

    And there's the thread I love once more - Mountain Breeze! You're right, the beach bag fabric IS striking and the bag looks as though it has come straight from a boutique!

      Must admit Maureen it is one of my favourite threads too. Wow thanks for the compliment about the bag, really means a lot to me now that I am in full production!

    Oh Sally, you awoke some lovely memories with your Isles of Scillies beach bag. We spent our honeymoon there, some fifty plus years ago! Hope you have enjoyed some holidays there.

      Actually Anne I have never been to the Isles of Scilly, the bag sort of says it all though about the place doesn't it? So pleased it brought back such treasured memories for you though.

    Sally, I think you should book a holiday there. There are so many beautiful islands for you to enjoy, and you could take your marvellous beach bag with you to show every one!

    I think you are right Anne, especially as the Scilly Isles are not too far from where I live in the South of England. Will research

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 ...
