Eleventh and Twelfth Day


Time is racing on and I am very aware that if I don't speed up these snowflakes they will not be finished this side of Christmas.   Therefore, if possible, will now post two at a time.



These two were quite easy accept I could not get the Twelfth one to lie very well, anyway half way through the book.






Eleventh Day of December










Twelfth Day of December




I am going to take some of my tatting to a Christmas Market in the village on Saturday.  These sort of events get worse every year in terms of attendance and interest and so sell very little.   What is really annoying is that so much time is spent (in my case finding the items) sorting and packing them, setting up the table etc.  If there were crowds of people it would be well worth it, but there are not so I wonder why I bother.  The only consolation is that it gives me a chance to talk about tatting to those who are interested, which actually isn't many!

    1. Thanks very much although no 11 does not reflect the colour of a snowflake!

  3. I think the important thing about Craft Markets is the chance they give people to bond with the community and feel part of things! I'm making snowflakes for our own Christmas Bazaar at the moment, although I won't be manning the stall! I particularly like December 12.

    1. You are right Craft Markets certainly do bring people together from the community and that is probably what is lacking these days. As for myself I have bonded so well with the community because of what I do in it, that for me it is just like another days work but in a different guise!

    1. Thanks Diane, I actually did not expect the 11 to turn out so well.

  5. So pretty! I hope there will be more positives than negatives to the market.
