Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, most of my classes yesterday were cancelled, so I actually had some tatting time.  So nice!
So, I did this:  (I did hear, do one in SeaGlass right?)

Originally, I was going to do another one of Jane's Button Brooches, but I like this button, and I didn't want to hide it, so I did something a little different. I love how the chains look all boxy.  This has not been blocked at all, so that's just how it turned out. I think it's the tube beads that's causing it.

Anyway THEN I found some abandoned motifs and put them on ornaments:

 

This Gold one, I just made up one.  I finished this one with a tassel. 

The bigger one, has Jon's Baduri (is that the right name?) from Elegant Tatting Gems

I took a seprate thread and fed it through the picots and tied to keep it secure.  I like it a lot!

I tatted this one last year, in Lizbeth's Blue Ice.

Anyway!  Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!

Don't eat too too much!

If you go out shopping tomorrow, please be safe!

Check yesterdays post for a very special coupon!!

30% coupon LIMITED TIME

So, I just KNOW everyone loves a good sale.  So, Today through Monday (11/26/12) I am offering 30% off everything in my shop.
This means that a skein that normally cost $7.20 is now just slightly over $5.
This is a REALLY great deal.  So good that I cannot  afford to do it often or for very long, but I just adore all of you, and this is my way of saying "Thank You!!"
The coupon code is "THANKSGIVING"

Please enjoy!  Keep in mind that every purchase helps me get Livi Christmas presents.  So, if you are in fence on buying something for yourself this season, maybe you can talk yourself into splurging a little knowing that it means more Christmas for Livi. :o)

She is such a pretty girl! I LOVE her hair. :o)

ALSO!!! Remember Friday is the cut off to enter your name into this week's Secret Santa Giveaway. 

I put a link to entry post on the side.

Just in case you haven't seen enough of these on Jane's blog

When I saw Jane's, I just knew I wanted one.  I don't know why.  I don't wear brooches and this is very brooch-y.  But, I like it.  I think it is very clever.  Maybe it will be a Christmas present.
I put a split ring on the Long Beaded Picot so that the charm can be changed out.
Since Thanksgiving is this week, I put a little pie charm on it.
Cute right??

I am thinking that maybe my beads on the LBP are little too big, but not unsightly, so it's alright. :o)

The pattern is Jane Eborall's, the thread is size 40 Blue Ridge (my own)

Most of the beads are 15/0 

Except the ones on the LBP which are 4mm

:o)

My Lil' Tie dyed Native American

Livi and her classmates are dressing up as Native Americans and Pilgrams.  They are going to have a feast and everything.  It must be fun to be in kindergarten.  :o)

So, we went and bought a pack of pillowcases and tie dyed them for her Native American outfit.  Doesn't she look so cute???

So, as you can probably guess, the pack of pillowcases had two pillowcases... so, the other is mine! All mine!

AND Livi actualy help dyed these.  It was guided help, but at least she can go to school and tell all her friends and teacher that she made it. :o)

Relisting..... catch em while you can!

I noticed that the number of listed skeins and the number of skeins on hand did not correlate.  Then I remembered that when I got back from Tat Days, I didn't count all the skeins I had.
Ooohhh yea!!!
Ever have one of those moments?

So I have relisted some of those sold out colorways, (mostly only size 20)
These include:
Serendipity
Fancy Fields
Queen Anthias
4-Eva
Chilled
Bahamas
Blue Ridge
Pitaya Limeade
and Jade n Salmon


Are there more that could be listed,- probably.


Also, I tried the Sorrell Splendour colorway again, but this time, with the regular method.  I turned out more Christmas and less Autumn.  But I am going to retry and I'll photograph these skeins tomorrow after I get a chance to get some batteries for my camera!

Winner 1 and Secret Santa Giveaway 2!

Alright!!  I entered all the entries into an Excel document since, I had entries from Facebook and email that were mixed in.  That assigned numbers to each name, and then used the Random number generator to pick

PHYLLIS

as the winner of the first Secret Santa Giveaway!

Congratulations!!

Now, let's keep this game rolling!! 

Comment on this post to enter the 2nd Secret Santa Giveaway!!

If this is the first you are hearing about the Secret Santa Giveaway, I invite you to look here. 

:o)



**UPDATE:  I've been mulling over this idea, and I have finally decided to go forth with it.

I'm going to make these giveaway cumulative.  Meaning, if you entered last week, you are entered this week.  Entering again this week will give you two names in the pot.  So potentially, by the sixth giveaway, you could have your name in the pot 6 times.

I am not going to do repeat winners though, so you can only win once.


Thanks everyone!
This is fun!
