Break

I am just running over a phase where upon I wince just looking at a shuttle, cos I tatted like crazy sometime back. So I have now taken a momentary break.

Though I still have certain projects to complete – for example the Doily to match with coasters, plus a couple of crochet projects which will take me forever to do! Here is a sneak peak at one of them.


This is a shell shawl pattern which one of my friends had finished sometime back. Inspired I started with it but unfortunately it's has been this way the last 2 months. Now with winter gone past I don’t feel that enthused and elated to finish this anymore and hence will remain in my WIP list.

Now getting back to the subject, I suppose you can expect a slight delay in my next post… so long!

HDT overload

I had promised sometime back that I will display my HDT treasures… well here it is….

Now the only problem is what do I do with this lot????

Threads include :-

Marilee - Tiger eye, Roses, Dark Red, Rhubarb crisp, Leafy, cool waters and finally Hydrangea.

Sherry - Vickies Lilac, Tutti Frutti & Spring Poppies, Tulips & Sunset sky, Rust, Yummy Grapefruit, Coffee & Cream and spring poppies again.

All these are in size 20, except for one spool of spring poppies and dark red.

Just like Laura I am more comfortable using Size 20 thread but with tremendous persuasion from Sherry I finally tried size 80 - and she was right it really fine and very good.

Conclusion - It’s to painful to see it wasted – I wanna keep it just as it is!

Now the problem lies when both of them being their naughty self keep coming out with different colors that it becomes painful to resist the temptation and then just like HDT addicts I finally have to give in. Girls... Please have mercy! :-)

Coasters again

And this time it is with HDT – Tiger eye! Lovely color and this is my fav. Sometime while browsing through my regular blogs on tatting I came across one Doily which just took my breath away… I had just finished with my coasters by then and was just thinking of doing a doily to match it and voila! There it was. This is by clyde and he gave a wonderful name to his doily “Waves” and it truly is.
So Clyde, This one is for you!

some more bookmarks

This one is from Sherry's Blog! It was easy to do this. I wanted something in a blue combination so this was a perfect pattern because both (light and dark) blues blend so well.
