The Third Day

-

Now this is the only snowflake that I really wanted to make from the book, it was hugely popular at one time on blogs and I thought it would be really hard to tat, but it wasn't!









As you can see I have chosen to go for a little colour as it would be so boring for me if I tatted every snowflake in white.











The Scarecrow Festival is almost here and the weather looks fine for Saturday, no more snowflakes for a few days...........................

    This has been my mother's favorite. I think I'll put it on her present this year.

    This one has never appealed too much before but I like it in this color!

    I bought the book just for that snowflake. I had seen it online somewhere in fabulous rainbow colors and it just intrigued me!!

    I've admired that one on blogs too and I really like your version in that variegated thread.

    Your coloured flake is lovely - yes, it does seem that a particular pattern is being tatted all over the world at times! I haven't tatted many from this book, but I do remember having trouble, years ago, with December 20. Have fun with the scarecrows!

    Very pretty colour combination. Love the scarecrow. Your church looks very beautiful and old. Hope you have a successful day tomorrow.

Epiphany - Giveaway

-

Today is the Feast of Epiphany and so I thought it was a very good day to offer a few gifts of my own. Although may I  ask you kindly to enter if you are a regular follower of my blog or comment regularly. Sorry to put this restriction on the giveaway,  but I do want those who genuinely would like to win the shuttle to enter and not people who try their chance for the sake of it.    So please comment if you would like to win the pop-a-bobbin shuttle and the box at the same time  adding your favourite all time gift, but it has to be an object and not a person! The shuttle is made from plum cherry and this is what it looked like before it was worked upon.  Also the shuttle is unvarnished, sometimes this helps to show up the colours better. However, there are times times when the varnish enhances the grain.  Now the other side of the shuttle. Last night I went to a 'Pies and Punch' evening to celebrate Epiphany and won this oil  diffuser, for those ...

Remember, Remember, the 5th November!

In England we mark this day with bonfires and fireworks, although as the years have gone by it is less and less observed.   The reason we are called to remember the 5th November is that on this day in 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament, London with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitor with his co-conspirators for plotting against the  government . Which is the reason why a 'Guy' is made by stuffing newspaper into some old clothes to look like a man and then it is put on the top of the bonfire.  Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and plot; I see of no reason why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. So if you have stopped reading this blog by now you will not have realised that I am holding a 'giveaway' to mark this my 300th blog post, a day to remember for me and possibly you! This is what you will win when you comment giving one thing that you will remember...

Michaelmas Daisies

As today is Michaelmas it is time to show you the Michaelmas daisies (Asters) that I have been working on.   They are on their way to becoming a necklace which I was fully intending to wear today, but unfortunately due to so many other commitments, I never managed to get it finished. Yesterday a Scarecrow Festival was held in the grave yard of one of the churches and so I'm just going to show you a couple of them. There were over 20 other scarecrows all shapes and sizes scattered around and they made everyone smile.
