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!

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 ...
