Black Choker

 I have notice a lot of girls and young women are wearing black lace chokers and so I have made this one for Aimee Grace, my friend's granddaughter.

Daffodils

I was contacted recently by Jeanne for my daffodil pattern and here is was she has done.

Pretty pink corsage

Choker and Earrings Set

My new pattern is now available in PDF format and the link can be found in my Free Pattern section on the right side bar. Enjoy!

Work box

This is the work box that I have made for Aimee Grace, my 9 year old friend (soon to be 10) who is desparate to learn to tat. We are hopefully going to have her first lesson on Sunday morning.

I make the box using old Christmas or birthday cards. There are 6 sides, a top and a bottom. Each piece is made with picture card, a backing card and padded and lined. The pieces are then all sewed together. In the past I have also made the pieces with cloth on the outside decorated with tatting instead of using picture cards.

Snowflake 2017

This is my latest snowflake that I thought might like to be shared.

Here is the link

to the free PDF but it can also be found in my Free Pattern section on the right side bar.

Christmas bells

I've started making Christmas ornaments. This is the little bell I designed last year....I haven't written the pattern out because I know it will be awkward. I will probably do it eventually, lol!

Pattern for Green and White Classic Doily

 Here is the link to the PDF pattern of my Classic Doily - version 2.

I hope you all enjoy trying it out. If any tatters find any faults with the pattern please let me know so that I can put it right.

Green & white Classic Doily

 Amazing what a bit of steam ironing can achieve!

Only the outer edge of scallops to work now. It's already 15 inches wide!

Classic Doily in green and white blocks

This is my Classic Doily (pattern in Free Pattern section) that I am doing in green and white size 20 thread

Delicacy Doily - inadvertently edited!

This is my Delicacy Doily done in my husbands favourite colours of brown and cream. I didn't notice at first that I had accidently missed some of the rows out, but it seems to have worked very well with none of the ruffling that some tatters had experienced!

Tatted Clover Snowflake

I have now written out the pattern for this little snowflake and the link to the PDF is in my Free Pattern section on the right side bar. Enjoy!

Colourful crocheted blanket.

I was asked to crochet a blanket for a little girl's bed....this is what I came up with.

Christmas Tree Earrings 2016

It's that time again! Another Christmas is around the corner and so I thought I would make a new pair of my Christmas Tree Earrings.

This pair is made with perle No 8 with tiny seed beads.

I now stiffen the earrings with hair spray. I have found that it works very well, does not affect the colour of the cotton and can be re-applied again and again if the earrings become limp.

The link to the PDF pattern is at the bottom of my free patterns list on the right side bar.

3D tatted flowers head band

This little girl desparately wanted a pink head band to wear during her next performance, so Aunty Linda came to the rsecue.

Crocheted wheaten scottie dog

My son and daughter in law have a black scottie and a wheaten scottie and so I thiught I would have a go at crocheting a wheaten one with some spare cream arran wool.

I'm very pleased with the result.....I made it up as I went along, but didn't write the pattern down as I was doing it! Now I wish that I had!

Spruced up tatted flower arrangement

I have kept taken a lot of old flowers, taken some of the old ones out and added a lot of new ones.

The arrangement is sitting on my Coronet Doily....the link to the pattern can be found in my Free Pattern section.

Celtic Christmas Motif

My neighbour bought a metal stag to decorate for Christmas and asked if I could tat it a "horse blanket". This is what I came up with. I will try to write the pattern out, but I think it might be a bit complicated with the Celtic design!

PDF now done and here is the link.

 

Starry Snowflakes

I have now written out the pattern for this little snowflake motif and here is the link to the PDF

The link will also be found in my Free Pattern section and I hope you enjoy trying it out.

Last of the snowflakes

These 3 make 16 altogether for neighbour, Sue, which I think is enough. I shall give them to her this evening. I hope she likes them!
