String Thread

-


That is what it said on the label of this thread which I purchased from Singapore.  The day is a bit dismal so the colour is not very good. But if you were able to look closely in good light then you will see different colours including pink, green blue etc and it does glitter.  Tats as 20 thread. 












The patterns are all Janes, the front two are her newest which you will find on this blog post.   The patterns are not up yet, but will be very soon, just a perk of being a sister sometimes I get to try them out first!



I have been making quite a few of the front right one as it is going to be such a useful snowflake and rather fun to make too!

    By enlarging the picture, I can see that this thread has some glitter going for it! I guess I'd better find my bead stash if I'm going to try these!

    They turned out beautifully. My sister makes the most beautiful earrings so I understand well the sister perk!

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...

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 ...
