Travelling

-

I have been away for just over two weeks visiting Singapore and Cambodia and returned home last night.  We have had a fabulous time meeting so many interesting people and places. Next to none tatting has been accomplished as I was either too busy or it was too hot.



This is a bookmark on top of a Cambodian flower which was placed on our bed every night together with a Buddhist story.












Whilst we were in Cambodia we visited the famous Angkor Wat Temples, here are just a few pictures out of so many.











Angor Thom with its many faces









and this temple with trees growing around and through it, almost swallowing the entire structure










To a temple made from red stone.



The Khmer people were so kind and the area so beautiful that you could not help just fall in love with the place.

    Welcome back! What an exciting adventure! The Temples were featured on a cable channel recently. Truly amazing. How nice that you were able to spend time with your family in Singapore. Glad you had a safe trip.

    Did you get a chance to meet Grace Oon Bee Tan? She is from Singapore. Good tatter.I bet she would have dropped by to say hello.
    Glad you had a safe trip, with all that is going on around the world.

      Maureen obviously I have so many pictures but it isn't the same as actually being there. Yes it was a lot to pack into two weeks, we always try and visit another Asian country whilst in the Far East and have stayed in some fabulous places, the flowers were beautiful in Cambodia

    The photographs were taken in Cambodia when we visited the Angkor Wat temples.

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 ...
