Ah yes it is, I watched some of president Biden's inauguration on television yesterday. Actually whilst finding a place to put these new pieces I discovered some of last years tatting which I could not find before Christmas!
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.

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 ...
