I should have posted this a couple of days ago, this is my TTAL. Tatting temperature tat along , this is up to 30th June, so June finished now onto July, As you know I am working in a square clock wise.
The square measures 14 and half inches by 12 and half inches
We went away for seven days and I had a break from it, but with Vernons accident and limited times I am now 20 days behind.
Temperatures as of Somerset U.K.,

Time for another challenge at the CD Sunday challenge blog, and this fortnight Aimes is the host, due Beryl the hurricane in Texas Aimes will not be hosting, she has very limited internet and this fortnight she will not be entering a card. My best wishes to her and hope any damage can be soon repaired.
For my card this fortnight I used a download from the Tatted Lace magazine no 57, I wanted something different so I made a plainest card, using a circle from the backing paper which I used peel offs around the circle and decoupaged the image of the Blue tit birds, and just added a hand made bow near the top.

Well I made three buttons last week on holiday, they may not be perfect, but I am pleased with them, I used white merchandise cotton and the pink is Oren Bayan no 8 which is the same thickness as the white, Oren Bayan is a Turkish thread, very smooth and I use a thinner one for tatting. This pink is a varigated thread.
I used Crafting Thread Jewellery but Pat Olski, it’s a lovely book so glad I brought it sometime ago.and I would recommend it. I am planning to make more

As we go into July it’s time for another challenge at CD Sunday and this fortnight it’s Jocelyn to host.
For my card this fortnight I chose to use Shoes in Bloom by Ooh La La creations. I used the image and backing paper which went with the image, the image is called Lily bud, I matted the image onto pink card, made to sprays of flowers by cutting out some flowers from another image, added it a white Malibu feathers and some dark pink ribbon The green foliage I used signature collection leafy flourish dies.

Six months finished of the temperature tat along Here is my latest I am five days behind, as you know I am working in a square, middle is January I started in the third week if January, I have dark pink coming up for two squares, looks like this week could be back to orange, I have not had time to block it, due to hubby’s accident and limited time doing any crafting,
It’s been hard going over the last two weeks, to say I am knackered is an understatement, he does try and help with one hand bless him, hoping the fractures will mend soon.

Nearly the end of June, this year is going fast, it’s time for another challenge at the CD Sunday challenge blog, this fortnight I am hosting it.
For my card I used Janet Kruskamp collection CD by Joanna Sheen, I have nit used this fir some time so it’s nice to revisit some old CDs. I used the backing paper that went with the images, I decoupaged the sign at the top of shop, matted the image onto green card, plus the two small images which were on the same sheet, and added a handmade green bow. This was a little bit more of a simpler card,
