Holiday Tatting Number three, no 7 of 25 motif challenge




Hi,
The Sun is shinning with a few black clouds circling,  the washing is out and hopefully its going to dry in the breeze,  its lovely to have the sun with his hat on today.   Yesterday I had a table at the summer fair in the nursing home where my Mother lives,  the weather ruin the day,  it rained on and off and the wind was more like a winter gale.  They planned to have it in the garden as it was we were inside,   a bit cramped but who cared it was all in a good cause for the residents,  hopefully they all enjoyed the day.
This is the last post of holiday tatting,  I expect you are getting tired of holiday tatting,  but I thought I would leave these booties to last,  in fact they were the first items I tatted on holiday.
These booties are from a book which I keep hoping someone somewhere can tell which book,  I have a copy of the pattern,  the top of the page is marked Three-dimensional patterns,  I am sure they are not a Mary Konior  pattern as I have four of her books and they are not in them.   I used Lizbeth white no 20 and the ribbon is rainbow by Spiral.
I hope you are having a lovely  weekend and hopefully the sun is shining on you.
Take Care

Hi,
Another lovely day with the sun shining, not so warm today and they say its going to get cooler as the week wears on, with showers on Friday. That will be a shame as its the Royal Wedding Day.
Today I am bring you some new stitched cards, all of them are my own designs and they are down with metallic thread and beads.
This card and the one at the top had vases from Stitching peel offs stitched and then cut out and glued onto the card. The one above has some red sticker flower in red and stitched leaves, This card has with flowers and leaves stitched onto the card. Silver peel off words on both to finish off.



This card is peach with shaded ribbon of blue, pink, yellow, green and stitching peel off butterflies. The thread used is a multi coloured in the same colours as the ribbon. Silver peel off words to finish off. This ribbon is my favorite and goes with so many cards of different colours is made by Spiral.


This is my favorite card again on peach card, stitch off peel off flowers stitched with red/gold thread and bronze beads which I brought at the craft show at Shepton Mallet earlier this month.
Finished off with gold peel off lines and corners and words.





This card is lilac with stitch peel off butterflies, I used beads in the middle of the large butterfly and gold peel off words to finish off.






This card, had printed design which I picked out and stitched in purple thread and then glued a spray of flowers in the middle and finished off with pale lilac ribbon, and gold peel off wording.

I hope you like my new stitching cards, I have a regular customer who only buys my stitching cards from my craft table. She says she likes the uniqueness of them. I enjoy my stitching and designing my own cards making them unique and different.

I hope you had a lovely Easter as we did although I had a bad day on Monday, we had a lovely weekend staying with Vernon's Dad, including a great barbecue on Sunday with Dee and Peter(Vernon's Sister) in their garden.
I hope you are still having and enjoying this nice weather, some parts of the country has had rain but so far we have not had any rain for at least three weeks.
Until we meet again in blog land take care, and I look forward to seeing again in the future.
Hugs
Margaret
