Tatting button motifs

 Hi

At the moment it’s tatting with buttons on Facebook,  here are two I have done using 12th January button pattern by Diane Cardemartoti Lace loving Librarian,  I used a button on the top one and a dodad on the picture on the left.  I was short of buttons but I now have some sparkly donut buttons to try and some mother of Pearl buttons that arrived yesterday by post so watch this space as they say.

I use Lizbeth thread no 20 called Nigara Falls.  

Stay safe,  well and warm it’s very cold outside

Art Deco competition card

 Hi,

I have entered this card into another competition at Debbi Moore designs.  I used Christmas enchantment CD  by Debbi Moore for the card,   Matted the imaged on dark blue card,  used a design sheet of a room for the backing, and finished off with gold  peel offs and gold glitter on the Christmas tree.   I added some white silk roses with die cut foliage and  white ribbon 

I don’t know where January went it disappeared into lockdown,  we are still in lockdown,  the snow we had last weekend did just change the scene from our windows for a while.  We are forecasted to get snow again sometime during the week,  at the moment the sun is shining  with a cold east wind from Russia 

Stay safe and well

Finished advert calendar tatting

 Hi

Yes it’s finished 

This is my latest tatting project which I have just finished, their are seven different coloured threads, five different coloured beads in the flowers, it is now ready to frame. It was a tatting advent calendar project on facebook, each day (24 days). we were given a different flowers, butterfly, leaves, or piece of a basket. I was behind with the tatting and finished tatting early january, and since then I have been sewing the flowers etc onto a piece of cotton. I did add two more butterflies and some more green pieces to fill in the spaces were flowers would not fit.

I used Lizbeth thread no 20 in the following colours white, Christmas red, maple butter, Christmas greens mix, Christmas green and Cranberry bush. There are five different colours of beads which I sewed into the flowers.

As we are still in lockdown this could be a lockdown project and I have some more things to do hopefully finish before we get back to normal.

Stay safe and well where ever you are in the world.
