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!

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.

Poppies

It was May when we first decided to organise a poppy cascade from the tower of a very old church to commemorate the WW1-100.  We asked the community to knit or crochet poppies and by the end of October over 4,200 had been donated.  Some even came from the USA where a family who used to live in the village had moved to.  How to construct the installation took a lot of thinking about, but finally it all came together and at the beginning of November it went 'Over the Top'.  That is the name we called it, as those who fought would say those words as they climbed over the trenches into battle.  Over the last ten days it has rained and the wind has blown but fortunately the cascade has remained in place, although a bit soggy!    The porch was also decorated. And this is what it looked like on the evening of Remembrance Sunday.   The poppy installation has attracted wide press coverage and hundreds of visitors have come to see it and look at the ex...

Every time I think about tatting someone else's pattern to cover  Christmas baubles I seem to come back to my own, probably because I know it will fit the ones I already have.   I now have a box full of baubles covered in tatting, sadly that is where they will  remain as there is no Christmas tree in this house to hang them on, next year is the time to have a grand clear out and give them all away. Another box contains these And yet another box contains these There is a final box of baubles but I don't seem to have a picture of them at hand.  The patterns for the large and very small baubles are on this blog.   I do hope your Christmas Tatting is going well.
