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!

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 ...

Remember, Remember, the 5th November!

In England we mark this day with bonfires and fireworks, although as the years have gone by it is less and less observed.   The reason we are called to remember the 5th November is that on this day in 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament, London with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitor with his co-conspirators for plotting against the  government . Which is the reason why a 'Guy' is made by stuffing newspaper into some old clothes to look like a man and then it is put on the top of the bonfire.  Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and plot; I see of no reason why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. So if you have stopped reading this blog by now you will not have realised that I am holding a 'giveaway' to mark this my 300th blog post, a day to remember for me and possibly you! This is what you will win when you comment giving one thing that you will remember...
