Cats

-

I have finished the cats,  the pattern is from Inga Madsen's book Tatted Animals.  At last I can go back to my doilies.





The weather is improving again in England and so hopefully the garden will get some attention this weekend.

    I missed seeing this post until today! It's wonderful to see all four together! It makes me smile just to look at them, and a relief because I know what a difficult project this was. They really are adorable! I'm sure they will be appreciated! I hope you learn how they will be used.

    Sally, I'm allergic to cats but not these. They are Meowverlous.

    Love them cats, I have a lot of my tatting books packed away, but will get them out and see if I have that book.

There are many reasons I have not kept up this blog, one being that I have to now recover the email that was originally used to set it up, so not exactly sure if any comments will be seen or recovered.  The other is that I keep up numerous facebook accounts (other groups) plus twitter and instagram so not much room in my life to blog! However, a comment from Maureen on my sister's blog has prompted me to post the dress we have each bought and how we have embellished it with a bit of tatting.

Reversable Necklace

-

After a long break from tatting button necklaces I have gone back to them, they are so relaxing to make and every single one is unique.  My latest one is reversible, the first picture shows the right side of the button. The second picture shows the reverse side which looks just as good. I have placed two buttons in the middle to show what they look like both sides. This necklace is, so far, my favourite. I used Karey Solomon's thread which I bought at Tat Days last year, it is called watermelon.  Although I think the colours remind me more of Summer flowers, something like these that were given to me a few weeks ago.         Two of my necklaces are in Jane's Etsy shop , although  they have to be worn to show them off to the best effect.  Now shall I start another one?!

The Cedar Tree

As you all must know by now, unless you have been on another planet! The Pop-A-bobbin shuttles are in full production and there are quite a few different woods they are being made out of, which I will try and list soon. Some woods we have bought locally and others have been purchased from overseas. Sharren Morgan asked for a cedar shuttle when the last batch were being made, and so far she is the only person to own one made out of this particular wood. The cedar tree that the wood came from is in these two pictures. As you can see it is very near to the church. About 18 months ago the tree had to have a huge branch cut off it because it was dangerously close to falling on the church and doing considerable damage, particularly as there is stained glass window that would have been badly damaged if it had fallen. One log of the wood was brought around by the Vicar for " i'm in the garage" this was before the shuttles were a glint in his eyes! Now this particular tree is b...
