Tatted Daisy and Butterfly Bookmark

 Hi,

Before Christmas I was asked to make a bookmark in green and blue,  in a certain pattern,   I know I had a copy for this pattern,  but I could not find it,  no.  I asked on a tatting group on Facebook and within half an hour Sue found it and let me have a copy.  Thank you Sue.

I used Lizbeth no 20 Countryside thread,  which is variegated blue and green,  this pattern has split rings so it’s not really possible to use two colours so this thread was idea.

The pattern is called Daisy and Butterfly bookmark by Jeanne L Lugert

Endrucks project December game

 Hi,

Enducks project this December was how many snowflakes can you tat,  well I did not do very well as I had some other things to do and finish.  All the patterns were inspired from pattern #12

This pattern is the little stars and snowflakes pattern by Krystyna Mura  I used Lizbeth white no 20

This is Celtic stars and snowflake again this is another pattern by Krystyna Mura.  I used Lizbeth white and ice blue no 20

This is Filigree stars and snowflake pattern again by  

Krystyna Mura I used Lizbeth white no 20

As you can see my points went anywhere but straight,  they just did whatever direction it looks like they are flying or walking which ever way you look at them,  I blame my silly arthritic hand,  I think it makes them more interesting.  Thank you Muskaan and Ninetta for organising this months project

I wish you a very happy new year.

Margaret

Hi,

This is the last challenge of the year,  almost Christmas,  as always it’s anything goes,  as long as it’s from a CD, USB or digital material.  The host for the last challenge is Carol

For this card I used Christmas magical  moments CD by Cupcake crafting, I  matted the image on a dark blue card,  and then a silver card place at an angle,   I also used the lamp post die by polkadoodles,  and the trees are an X cut dies. I added a tartan ribbon bow,  finished off the card with snowflakes peel offs.

Hubby liked this card so much what he does not know its going to be his christmas card this year.

Enducks Project, Tatted bell

 

Hi,

Its a very cold and misty day here,  we have had nearly a week of fog,  everything I went out it was foggy,  yesterday it was clear and cloudy and I stayed in to do some housework and catch up on some things,  today its misty and even colder.

Novembers project on the Enducks project was the angel which also made a bell if you turned it upside down,   it was my pattern which I designed from the enlarged heart,     I did made one change in the pattern when I got to the ring which is now at the bottom I did a small chain of three double stitches before making the ring,  and added a crystal in the middle,  and then another chain of three double stitches back to the outer chain.  I used Lizbeth thread no 20 in white

This month the project is snowflakes,  I am busy with an order at the moment so I may not get many snowflakes done,  my hand is not liking the cold weather and is painful,  but we shall see what I can do.

Also this is my new shuttle in memory of our late queen,  this will be kept and not used.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend

Margaret
