Paint Brush bookmark

Hi,

I am sure if we get much more rain and wind,  and this is the second hurricane or should I say ex hurricane to fly across the pond on the jet stream,  this island will either sink,  float or  bash into Europe,  or float across the pond,  either way it’s been another very wet month.

I found this post started but not finished from January,  I suppose you could say better late than never,  it’s one of my favourite bookmark patterns  Flowering Quatrain bookmark by Joelle,  link to her Blog

I used Lizbeth thread no 20 Paint brush,  unfortunately some threads just don’t do justice to a  pattern and this is one of them,  

Stay dry and walk between the rain drops

Endrucks Project for July - bookmark

 

Hi,

After leaving this project for a couple of months, and working on the christening present.    I finally finished it,  this was the July game for the Endrucks project,  unfortunately I really am not happy with it,  it’s from the Endrucks pattern #24,  and I used the flower part of the pattern with the sides,  it took a little working out as I left out the leaf,  and working the flower in both directions.

I used Lizbeth thread Cranberry Bush no 20.

Another wet and windy day here in Somerset,  and there’s more rain forecasted for the rest of the week,  one day this island will either sink or float,  perhaps bashing into Europe or swimming across the pond .

Christening present

 Hi,

I made this picture for our great niece,  who was christened last weekend,  the tatting pieces were all sewn onto the frantic,  this took hours of tatting and more hours to sew them onto the fabric.

The teddy bear and the dog came from the pattern book, Tatted animals by Inca Madsen,

The words I used a cross between tat letters by Teri Dusenbury  and then I did split rings, it took a long time to design the letters,  Teri’s patterns did help but I put my own spill on them.

The crown I used the pattern A jubilee crown by Jennifer Williams,  Maisy was born this year being a coronation year,  so I added the crown to symbol that it is a coronation year.

Maisy and I have several things in common,  Maisy is an old Scottish name for MargaretWe were both born in a coronation year,  1953 and 2023,  and born were christened in the September of the actual years.

CD Sunday Challenge, anything goes #118

Hi,

Time this year is flying back,  today we are at a christening in Oxford,  so this post is scheduled,   I am the host this fortnight, although I am also away for a few days during the fortnight,  as usual its anything goes,

For this card I used Magical Christmas moments  CD by cupcake crafting,  I seen to use this CD quite often but I dont think I have used this image of the robin. I matted the image onto glitter cream card and then onto red card,  I cut out a red die cut flower and leaves.  this die I brought from Amazon and although rarely used makes a lovely open flower petals,   I added some gems and a handmade red bow.
