Still tatting the doily!

-

I am making very little progress on Renulek's doily, because I have very little time to sit and tat it!  However, I am a little further on than this picture shows, a quarter of the way along the next row.   



The round is complicated so making even slower progress.







The pop-a-bobbin shuttles continue to sell well and I am hoping that now the weather is warmer more can be made in the garage.

    I completely understand, I am struggling to tat things with warmer weather and having to mow my lawn and I too am trying make shuttles. Your doily is very nice and will be worth the wait🍃🦋🍃

    It's looking really good! Love the colour, it really shows the pattern up well.

    I have seen other tatters reach this stage and am impressed with the way it looks at this point. I'd be tempted to say it is finished, because it's an eye-catching and unusual edge. However, I know it goes on to greater glory. I do give you credit for staying the course!

    Glad to know the shuttles are still popular!

    Love this color - it’s so rich-looking. I’m just finishing the next round - hard to keep going at this point because it seems like it takes F O R E V E R to get around now!

      You are so right Cindy that next round certainly takes for ever, must be at the same stage as you. Will we ever finish it?!!!

Renulek Doily finished

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.

Playing with a raindrop

Raindrop No 3 petit is the name of this motif which Karen kindly linked from her blog  to a Japanese blog . I could not resist having a go at tatting it and decided that adding a button in the middle really made a difference, but as you can see the addition has made it slightly larger.     I have some more thread at the ready to tat another one, but again it will be different to these.  Over the last few months I have missed tatting with beads so feel that the next one might need a little bling!

Epiphany - Giveaway

Today is the Feast of Epiphany and so I thought it was a very good day to offer a few gifts of my own. Although may I  ask you kindly to enter if you are a regular follower of my blog or comment regularly. Sorry to put this restriction on the giveaway,  but I do want those who genuinely would like to win the shuttle to enter and not people who try their chance for the sake of it.    So please comment if you would like to win the pop-a-bobbin shuttle and the box at the same time  adding your favourite all time gift, but it has to be an object and not a person! The shuttle is made from plum cherry and this is what it looked like before it was worked upon.  Also the shuttle is unvarnished, sometimes this helps to show up the colours better. However, there are times times when the varnish enhances the grain.  Now the other side of the shuttle. Last night I went to a 'Pies and Punch' evening to celebrate Epiphany and won this oil  diffuser, for those ...
