We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

This week

I think many of us in Tatland have tatted and fallen in love with many of Jane Eborall's patterns. This bookmark pattern is one I really enjoy (although I made a lot of booboos in the first attempt -- the one on the top!) The reason I'm posting the first is because I like the colours, but the second is the one without mistakes. Opps, it's the Fandango Bookmark of course! Both were tatted in Flora #20 as the instructions recommended and they are pretty large (8" x 2"). To be honest, I'm itching to tat another, perhaps in a smaller thread.


Thanks, Jane, for sharing another gorgeous pattern!

Earlier in the week, I finished another beaded project. And, I'm beginning to experiment more with my own ideas. It's more fun and challenging.

  1. I love the colour effects on the Fandango bookmark. It is going on my to tat list. Your beaded earrings is lovely.

  2. Both bookmarks are very pretty! I especially like the blue. ; )

    Your earrings are gorgeous! Oh, how I wish I could wear earrings. I see so many beautiful designs, and I love the way a pair of earrings dress up any outfit. Unfortunately, my ears swell up and turn read within minutes of putting them on. I guess I'll stick with necklaces and bracelets. Wouldn't the earrings make pretty pendants?

  4. Agree Jane's patterns are great and so easy to follow. I have grown up with them over the years so are tottally used to the way she writes them and when I try other peoples I have to really concentrate on them. I like both the colours you have tatted the bookmarks in. The earrings are lovely too.
