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.

    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.

As I said in my last post I had another idea for a design and this one is very seasonal, and yes as Jane McLellan said there is a huge gap between the original idea and the final product, but I don't find that gap fun at all!  I have worked on this particular idea all week between preparing for Holy Week and children's activities, and also having a massive Spring clean in certain areas of the house.  I even spent hours removing wood dust off the freezer washing machine and surrounding areas in the garage, when 'Im in the garage was out, you have no idea what mess he makes in there to produce shuttles! So the result is these two button eggs, well I hope you recognise them as such!  I showed the first one to several people but did not say what it was supposed to be and they all said it was a pendant.  I was rather deflated at that, but how would they know what I was trying to design?  I then came up with the second button egg.  So which one should I run with?...
