I have been doing a bit of crafting!!!

 

Hi guys,

I know before you say anything I have been quieted this last few weeks! Sorry!!!!!!!!

I have been working hard on my tatting…….well at least trying:

The white flower on the right is the needle tatting I did which you can see Here. The one on the left is shuttle tatting with 2 colours. I thought this would be good practice on the joins of rings to chains……the gaps are getting smaller with time.

Sorry I have not tidied all the thread ends. So I thought the next thing for me to try is the medallion I did with the needle. You can see the original post Here.

So with the shuttle I have managed to do this:

Not too bad I think…..What do you think?

I have also made some cards as it was Duncan Birthday on the 13th of August.

A card form the cats

He would sulk if he didn’t get a card from the cats.

Card from Dad.

The last card from me.

I had to use the Dragon stamps I have. Got to say that I am really struggling to make cards at the moment. Seem more into crochet, knitting or trying to tat.

So I have been doing some crafting if not blogging…..which is terrible of me.

See you soon.

Shuttle tatting with 2 colours

 

Hi guys,

Well I have done it!! Not mastered it but done it. I think I only swore 4 times as well………..good for me!

I have also managed to hide the ends………..this takes me ages and this is the swearing bit of the tatting for me…

I am using thread that I was given by the lovely Sue at the Wool Shop.

I think my joins are getting better.

I managed to drag Duncan to the wool shop this morning for some more wool for a couple of ideas I have….so watch this space.

Needle tatting to Shuttle tatting

 

Hi guys,

Well I have tried needle tatting in the past but I have always wanted to master the shuttle tatting…….so the shuttle was picked once again……

Here is the needle tatted flower.

I think I used size 10 thread. The original post is Here if you want a quick look.

So the shuttle is back in the hand and here is what I have done with the pattern above.

Now the thread I am not sure about the size beside it is thinner. The thread I have used is the bargain I got from the wool shop a while ago.

A closer look I think.

I am happier with the joins but I need a lot more practice. I am going to be brave and try 2 colours with this pattern…….could be some swearing about to happen with this……watch this space!

 

Before I forget…..HAPPY YORKSHIRE DAY!!!!!!!!!
