It's Snowing!!

Tatty snowflakes!! Far too warm here in the uk for real snow!!!

Some silly fool decided that they needed to enter a 'Christmas Swap', can't think who.... Rofl

Here are some of them, all from books by Jennifer Williams, the outgoing Chairman of the Ring of Tatters!

The first two are from her snowflakes book, and the third one is from her Christmas book.

Now to block them.... And more will follow from various sources!!

Chat soon if it stops snowing any time soon.... Vbg

Just In Time....

.... for an early start to Silly Season!!

Yes folks, it's that time of year again where the people around me spend money like crazy on food, toys, other presents, drink, etc....

I know it's approaching because our local supermarket has just put up their Tree!!!  It's NOVEMBER not December!!!!  They'll take it down straight after boxing day and replace it with Easter eggs!!!!  Crackers!!!

Anyway, that wasn't what I was going to tell you.... what I was going to say was that I got a newsletter from Roseground last night. Full of gorgeous tatty stuff it is!!

They're stocking the FULL range of Lizbeth threads in All Sizes!!!  And there are some new books, and Amanda D has painted some gorgeous tatting shuttles!!!  You MUST take a look!!! VBG

So.... do you think that this particular Tatty OG can treat herself??  Hmmmm....

Off back to take another gander!!

Chat soon

Here Be Dragons!!

Well, apart from reading a book all about morphing into dragons at the moment.... I imagine you all want to know what I'm on about!!

Simples me ducks!! No, not those ducks that that other Tatty OG has been going on about, although we do have record numbers of 'grey lag geese'?!! down on the riverbank at the moment!! Least I think that's what they are!!

Anyway, back to these 'ere dragons! Earlier this year, or back end of last... Not sure which... Another lacemaker popped her head above the parapet and joined both me and my crazy Dutch friend when we make lace round her craft room table most weeks... To say thank you for our inviting her to join us we got these:

A gorgeous cross stitch needle case!! One each! T'other one hasn't got Sue on it of course.... Vbg

Flikadella I've called her!! Not a brill pic but it says:

Sue owns these needles. Touch 'em and you're toast!

Falling leaves and some beads from me stash!!

What else....  Well, Li'l Miss was 2 on Saturday!!  We had a grand party on Sunday for her!!  Mummy & Daddy threw this wonderful party with a bouncy castle and lots of food!!  Dandan made baby apple muffins which were dairy free!!  First up, here's her birthday cake:
