Fisherman Cake

I have done this cake for a friend's father's 70th birthday. He is into fishing and is having a party on Sunday. He knows he is having a party but he doesn't know about the cake!

Lacis double bobbin samples

I recently acquired a Lacis double bobbin shuttle and these are the two first attempts. I made life difficult for myself by winding each of the three bobbins with a very fine thread and with a thread of Gutermann Sulky to make it all sparkly! Although the threads were awkward to work with I soon got to grips with the shuttle. With ordinary tatting thread it would work very well.

Glittery snowflake

This is my very first bespoke snowflake. I used together a silky rayon thread about the size of quilting cotton and a silver thread. It measures approx 3" across and sparkles lovely in a good light.

A little crown

The threads that I used on this little motif were a good quality varigated, machine sewing yarn and a gold thread. The gold thread split and so I had to cut it off. The distance I achieved before the thread split I thought the motif looked just like a little crown. I shall have to think what else I can put with it on a Christmas card perhaps!

Christmas Bauble

My niece has bought new baubles for her tree this year and her colour scheme is green, white and silver. After seeing other designs on the net I thought I would have a go at my own. This was the result of my first attempt!

Sequinned Snowflake

I added silver holographed sequins to one of my favourite little flowers to make a pretty snowflake. The camera makes some of the sequins look multicoloured!

Christening Cake

I had to do this Christening cake in a rush as my niece, Paula, who should have been doing it, had an accident at work, so it was Aunty Linda to the rescue!

Completed Christmas Cards

Here are the completed Christmas cards. All I have to do now is write out the patterns! Then put all the materials required into a kit.

Pointsettia

Ideal flower to decorate a Christmas card for someone special.

Flower variation

Having seen Jane's new snowflake I thought that that chain style would work well with this little flower.

Anniversary Card

This is the anniversary card that I have done for my brother, Keith and his wife, Gwyneth.

Flowers on a hair clip

Another little arrangement for the bridal collection.

Chic Little Tiara

Another one for the collection!

Pretty Pink

This is my latest bridesmaid's headdress. One of a selection that I will be doing for a local hairdresser.

Bristol Tat Day Photos

There was a large attendance today at the Bristol Tat Day and it was nice for me to be able to put faces to names.

Jennifer was an excellent demonstrator and a good time was had by all.

Here is Sue Hanson sporting a hat decorated with my new chrysanthemums!
