Hi,
I cant believe its a week since I posted anything here on my blog, I am still awaiting this urgent CT scan we are now in the third week and it was up to four weeks waiting time. NHS at its best. In the meantime I continue to live on painkillers.
Its not a bad day here and yesterday was lovely with sunshine but today has been duller and we had mist before the sun finally came out, I think its a little warmer today which is good. If we could just get a few days of warmth Vernon might be able to cut my meadow lawn before the winter.
I have not been up to much but I have been playing and done some designing I have one test tatter and I am looking and hoping for a couple more before I tell you anything more about my new little pattern. I do hope you will like it when I unveil it.
I did make this Leens Tatted Angel, I was not happy with it, all the more so when Vernon asked what is it supposed to be, this from a man who knows nothing about tatting when I meet him and he had never heard of it let alone seen it. He could not see the head and there is really no head just a halo, which I think the round space put him off.
So I put a round ring in the middle for the head, he preferred the ring in the middle as the head. I had thought of putting a bead in the middle. Perhaps its the colour I used, Lizbeth Christmas Delight No 20, would it look better in white I will try another one soon and perhaps some beads around the halo and bottom of the shirt.
This is the one with the ring in the middle, I will leave it you as to what you think. Link for the pattern is here
I did another Flowering Quatrain Bookmark by Joelle, I love this pattern again I did the tassel with a square of the corners of the bookmark this time I used Lizbeth Butterfly Breeze No 20
Link for the pattern here
I thought I would try this pattern for the first time its the Spiral Bookmark which was adapted from edging # 1, page 23 in Tatting Doilies and Edgings Dover Press edited by Rita Weiss, which I got from Intatters, I used Lizbeth white and Butterfly Breeze no 20, I like this pattern and are planning to do this again in different colours.
Now for my Fluffy snowflake, designed by Wally Sasa I saw this on Mary's Blog link here When I saw Mary's I had to do it, I had a job to find the pattern but got there in the end, unfortunately I don't have a link for it but I found it on Needles-N-Shuttles. I used Oben Bayan Koton Perle no 8 in variegated blue and white. not sure if this is really the right colours for christmas but I really like this fluffy snowflake something different for a change. I am planning to make more of these.
Back to my playing and finishing off my little pattern, a clue as to what it might be is on this page........
I hope you are having a nice weekend, the sun is shining on you wherever you are. Until we meet again take care
Hugs
Margaret
