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?
