Another Chance!

-


Thanks to those who tried to guess the answer to my questions in the previous post which happened to be the 500th.  Unfortunately none of you were correct, which is such a shame. So if you would like another chance of winning the few items I have put together below       ( there could be more) then please have a go.  The thread is Lizbeth cotton candy and I thought it matched the beads so well.   The items are lying on a very pretty tea towel with a cupcake on - which has these words written on it 'Good things come to those who bake'









If there are two or more correct answers then I will put your names on a piece of paper and draw the winner out.



You have up until the 3rd March and I will announce the winner on 4th March.

    Congratulations ! Quite a milestone, and so much tatting accomplished & shared :-)
    I'LL take a shot at 12 wood types (going by their grain and colour) & you started selling them from Feb 2010, although work on designing & testing started a couple of months earlier.
    All the very best for another 500

    I count 9 different woods and I found a post on your blog from 11/22/2009 regarding making traditional shuttles and another that introduced the pop-a-bobbin on 2/7/10. It was fun scrolling through your blog! Thanks for the chance to win!

    Ok, this time I'll guess 9 different woods and ....hmmmm....2008? Unfortunately identifying wood is something I'm not good at. To me, it can look very different depending on the grain, the angle you're looking from....how smooth it is....whether it's been polished or not.... So many things make the same wood look different. :) I am curious and definitely wondering which one is which kind of wood.

    Trying again: 9 different woods, and I still think that the Pop-a-Bobbins first made their appearance in February 2010!Giveaways are always fun, many thanks for celebrating your blog-versary with us.

    There are 9 types of wood shown in the photo. Although there were 10 if you count the Cherry Plum one that you kept:) "Him in the Garage" started making the pop-a-bobbin shuttles in 2010, with the first announcement being on 2/7/2010 and he started making shuttles in approximately November of 2009; the first mention of his experiments was on 11-17-2009.

    I'll say 5. Everyone else's answers were much higher than mine, but I do think there are several shuttles made from one type of wood.

    I posted before but I see thirteen different woods and the shuttles started to be made in 2009, but the design was finalized in 2010.

100th Blog Anniversary

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.

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 ...
