Christmas Cards

-

I really did intend to blog all through December, especially  as I have organised two Craft afternoons. These were for people to create their own Christmas decorations and I have some lovely photos, which I must show you.   But somehow time past that quickly and life got so busy.

These are what I tatted for my Christmas Cards this year, but now struggling to find time to write and send them.

    Oh, they're really lovely! Only three on my Christmas card list get tatted decorations. Each year I am full of good intentions to have them ready by the end of November. Hasn't happened yet!

      Thanks Maureen. Yes it is those good intentions! Unfortunately I have recipients who look forward to the tatting and try not to disappoint

    I love your cards! It's difficult to get done all we would like to do at this time of year, but it sure is fun to try!

      Actually Diana I thinking of tatting next years snowflakes over Christmas, then puting them away so they will be ready months ahead. But will I actually do that?

    If all else fails, write a 2-4 paragraph note to all. Print many copies,sign,insert, lick and stick! The cards are beautiful and are communication from the heart.

      Linda sadly last posting day was yesterday but I managed to get these beauties off in time. That is such a lovely expression 'communication from the heart' so the recipients don't need any words!

    Hi Sally, you've made your Christmas cards very personal. I especially love the green tatting.
    Wishing you and yours "A Happy Christmas and Peaceful New Year" with plenty of tatting!

    I like the cards a lot. They are beautiful. I'm blaming my lack of Christmas preparedness on so little time after Advent 4. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Which One?

As I said in my last post I had another idea for a design and this one is very seasonal, and yes as Jane McLellan said there is a huge gap between the original idea and the final product, but I don't find that gap fun at all!  I have worked on this particular idea all week between preparing for Holy Week and children's activities, and also having a massive Spring clean in certain areas of the house.  I even spent hours removing wood dust off the freezer washing machine and surrounding areas in the garage, when 'Im in the garage was out, you have no idea what mess he makes in there to produce shuttles! So the result is these two button eggs, well I hope you recognise them as such!  I showed the first one to several people but did not say what it was supposed to be and they all said it was a pendant.  I was rather deflated at that, but how would they know what I was trying to design?  I then came up with the second button egg.  So which one should I run with?...
