Snowflake Challenge - A countdown to Christmas

Hi,

Day 10

Todays snowflake is from the book 24 Snowflakes in Tatting and is called the Eighth day of December,  this snowflake I thought would be a good practice piece for block tatting and it proved to be a lot harder than I first thought.  My first effort made a lovely flower for a card which you saw a few weeks ago,  anyway this is the finished snowflake,  a challenge in itself but worth doing.   It was tatted in Lizbeth thread no 20

Hi,

Day 9

Todays snowflake is designed by Renulek  link to her blog and is part of her tat along mat that many of us have done or in my case still tatting,  Yes I know I have not updated you on it recently,  its about the same as I have not done much to it,  it sits on my coffee table in front of me and there it sits,  hopefully after christmas I will pick it up again and try to get somewhere near the finish.   Anyway for those have not seen the said mat there is a round with these snowflakes  12 in all,  all the way around,  hence I did this as a pretty snowflake which looks lovely hanging up.  I used Lizbeth thread no 20.
Hugs

Hi,
Day Seven

Today its a snowflake from Anna Magazine dated December 1992 no 37,  tatted in Lizbeth thread no 20.  I was asked about the Anna Magazine,  it is still published in German and can be brought across Europe,  but sadly it is now longer published in English,  it was my only way of getting new tatting patterns for many years before the internet now the world has opened up and tatting inspiration comes from all parts of the world. When I go away I do look to see if I can find a copy of Anna and see if there is any tatting in it,  unfortunately I seem to miss the right month,  I will keep on looking at least the patterns are all diagrams so I don't need to know German.
I am back in Cheese and Grain in Frome today with another craft table this I think will be my last this year.
Have a nice day
