Snowflakes

Have been looking up snowflake patterns to tat...

Here's one that I like. The pattern can be found in Tatting With Ann Orr, motif 19 on pages 18-19. I tatted this motif in two colours.





More snowflakes on the way...

INDULGENCE Indulgence

I was on a shopping spree. Whheeeeee...



These clay whistles were made by Andrew Chua, a Singaporean potter. I was attracted to the little teapot and owl the twins are carrying, of course. :)

These shuttles I bidded on eBay. I spent quite some money on those. ;P















Now I'm off to put together the InTatters Christmas Secret Santa exchange items...

Have a good weekend, XOXO

Here it is... the Final One

Ok, I'm done with the little picture I wanted to send to my sister. I talked about only having one cup but this is the final version. It's probably a more balanced composition and the cup won't feel so lonely. LOL (Aiyah, but the colour is not turning out well... again.)

I must confess that I've been rather naughty... getting myself hooked lately to games on FB. I repent. I killed 3 games yesterday. :p Will get back to tatting, and my teddy bears are waiting...

Hey what are these gorgeous pumpkin earrings doing? Well, Elizabeth @ Elizabeth's tatted lace is giving them away to celebrate her 100th sale on etsy. So cool!

And Heather's birthday is coming up. She's having a birthday giveaway @ The Tarnished Tatter. Pictured here is one of the shuttles she's made for the lucky winner.

Happy Birthday, Heather!

XOXO

Great mid-week.

Gifts and Giveaways

It's the great weekend again. Hope everyone's having a restful time.

I mentioned in my previous post that I tatted some things... well, here they are. The first is a black necklace. I added some blood red and wine red swaroski crystals to it. (Sorry, the picture doesn't do justice to the actual piece.) It's for a colleague who's moving on. Hope she likes it.

Then there is another gift that I worked on. A teapot and cup for my sister who has just moved into a new apartment. Actually I've been thinking if one more cup will do better. Mmm, will sleep over this idea and make a decision tomor. What do y'all fellow tatters and friends think? Of course you probably guessed... it's Martha Ess' pattern. Heehee. I love these. I used Manuella #20 thread which I ordered from Handy Hands.

Now if you'd seen Ginger's teddy bears, I'm certain you'll fall in love with them instantly! They are so cute and very well made. Ginger at Bearbits is having a Silver Anniversary Giveaway. I'm sure you know what to do... ;) This is Noelle Kringle and he's ready to celebrate Christmas with his lucky new owner.

The talented Iva at My Birdsong is also having a giveaway for her 100th post! Do pop over to her blog. This 5x7" beewax collage is one of the two pieces of her work she's giving away. Isn't it beautiful?

Giveaways and interesting stuff

Hi there. How's your week been? Busy busy?!

Was blog-hopping and I saw this gadget that not only caught my eye but is certainly a brilliant idea—a retractable crochet hook pen, invented by none other than the Ladyshuttlemaker. So cool! I know I love to lose my crochet hooks and this bright cheery coloured thing is not likely to get lost. (Hint ;))

Many of you may already know... Ladyshuttlemaker is having her Mondo Monday giveaway! This week, it's going to be a bead spinner. How interesting! I've not seen a real one... Hope I'm the lucky winner.

Peach Street Primitives is also having a giveaway for the 100th follower. How unique! And that's not all, it's going to be one of Jamie's own creations for halloween. Wow! So fun!
