Last blog post 2019

-

Two blog posts in one day is very unusual but I wanted to achieve the total of 30 posts for the whole year, which is not many considering I used to achieve 60 a year.  Still at least I am still blogging! 



No resolutions but aims for 2020



1. To celebrate 10 years since the creation of the pop-a-bobbin shuttle, with some new packaging.



2.  Find time for more tatting.



3.  Keep my tatting supplies tidier (this is what I say every year) but hoping to achieve just once! 





See you in 2020 - Happy New Year, keep tatting!

    Happy New Year Sally! I thought briefly about organising my Craft supplies, but quickly realised that it would never work. I know exactly where everything is now, if I tidied it all up I would probably lose everything!
    What I want to do is to rationalise my hobbies, there just isn't the time for all of it any longer, so one or two will be jettisoned into the New Year.Lots of books will be going!

      Happy New Year to you Maureen. Actually that is what happened to me, last year (can say that now) we decorated the bedroom where my craft stuff was, so had a complete re-arrange and do have great difficulty in finding stuff. At the same time I 'rationlised' my hobbies, but still grieving

    You've set some wonderful goals! I am also reorganizing craft supplies with the hope of being able to find some long lost treasures. Happy New Year!

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...

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.

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 ...
