Eye Candy

I do really love the Ankars tatting method and know about a lot of those sites. This one is new to me so I thought some of you would like to visit it too. If you go to the site, at the bottom of the article there is a link to pictures of the tatted articles. The link is in Russian but it ends in mylovelybeads(dot)com click on that and the tatted/beaded pictures will show.
Ps. for those who don't already know Google will automatically translate whole web pages.

Enjoy!

Monday Mondo Giveaway

Run don't walk to LadyShuttleMaker's Blog
Enter,follow,post a comment on your blog. Sherry is an incredibly talented artist (I'd say that even if she wasn't giving things away) Her shuttles, pottery,photography, tatting patterns and HDT are beautiful each and everyone. I own several of her hand dyed threads and they are awesome to work with and to look at.
I'd own one of her shuttles too if I didn't have issues with my shuttles flying out of my hand and across the room. My shuttles need to be made of rubber.
Thank you Sherry, just one more reason to be happy it's Monday

The color purple

Many of the tatters online seem to favor purple.

This edging was tatted and sewn on an organza bag for an exchange,and yes, those are M&M's

in the bag.

Have you tried the new limited edition coconut m&m's. Deeeeeeeelicious.

I'll post where the pattern was from as soon as I feel like standing up and looking for it.

I won !

I won, I won, Iwon!
This is my first time ever to win a blog giveaway.
Tarnished Tatter had a contest and I correctly guessed that the tatted items she
posted were for a new book.
And the prize is the book!
I have one of Heather's books and I like it very much, I can't wait to see this one.
Thank you Heather.

I got it!

Both HandyHands and Lacis have the new japanese tatting book. It's title (now that I have it and can see it properly) Is Tatting & Beads Graceful Jewelry. It is chock full of necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and a strap(cell phone or scissors striver type thingy) The thing I didn't expect, that is a great concept, is that the tatting motif is used mostly as a bead. Add the motif bead to other beads and you get very pretty and delicate jewelry.
I would recommend this book. There are more than 30 designs in this book. Plenty of diagrams. NO English. (well very little english)

What I received in the Tea Towel Exchange.

I didn't open my package until I was sure my partner had received her's. I didn't think that was fair. I still don't know who sent me mine because the note was signed D.N. and no one on the exchange list that was posted has those initials. Whomever it was it is lovely and I like it very much and the chocolates are wonderful too.

Thank you D.N. whoever you are. Here's a picture.
