New Year Event

I hope you all have had a very merry Christmas!  We did, even though Jocie was under the weather.

If you noticed on the Christmas day post, I am giving away a prototype pendant.  Well, I decided to add to it a little bit to make it a "New Year Event".  Whilst shopping for a few stocking stuffers I found a lovely little lined journal that would be perfect for someone to record her/his tatting endeavors.  Luckily, the journal color co-ordinates with the pendant.


For your chance to win, simply comment on today's post AND/OR yesterday's post.  This way, you get multiple chances!  The winner will be selected and notified on Friday, December 30th.  Good luck!

Here is the purple pendant I'm working on:


It was tatted with size 8 Valdani Pearl Cotton in color O562 and is accented with 6mm "Smoke" Swarovski bicones.  I'm sifting through my antique buttons and cultured pearls to see if I can find a suitable center focal point.

And this is the other little motif I've played with:


Size 8 Valdani Pearl Cotton in M24 "Water Reflections" is the thread used and Swarovski crystal bicones are the accents.  I'm considering what to do on the next round.  Shall I add more beads, start layered chains or add a round of rings and chains?  Decisions, decisions.

Tomorrow is to be a cleaning day.  I really need to clean out and organize my tatting materials!  Things are rather scattered and messy.  I believe I'll restock and organize my portable atelier and post some images of it at some point this week.  Would you care to see how I take my tatting with me when I am away for a few days?

Well, I had better run.  Jocelin feels like eating a little something & I need to fix her some soup or broth.  Don't forget to comment on yeaterday's post and/or today's post for your chance to win the pendant & journal in the New Year Event!  Until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!

  4. I get another chance to win! Thank you for that opportunity! I hope I win. ;-)

    And the journal I would use for writing down patterns that I want to do. I'm new to tatting - I'm working through a book by the shuttle brothers to learn technique.
