To those who have won:

Please be so kind as to contact me via the button to the right of the blog with your particulars and I will get your buttons in the post next week.  If I do not hear from you by Wednesday, October 4th, another winner will be selected. 

 

Many thanks to all who commented and participated in the give away!

 

What are y'all working on, my dear readers?  This weekend I am putting the finishing touches on a FREE pattern to feature in October and plan to take images of some newly completed pieces.  We will also be cleaning up and prepping the pop-up camper for Autumn camping adventures.  Of course, we will be watching the Louisiana Tech football game and the New Orleans Saints.

 

Well, I had better get it in gear.  Rosie Fey is ready for our run in the woods.  May you have a fantastic weekend and congratulations to our winners!  Until next Friday~

Happy Tatting!



Button Give Away Event

Blog theme for September~
Buttons!

Good morning, dear readers!

Back in August, as I was cleaning out the Atelier, I came across multiple button stashes.  After culling what I plan to use in my own work, I thought a give away event of the remaining buttons would be fun. 

 

 

As you can see, the buttons are in four snack sized zip-loc bags.  They are mainly vintage plastic, MOP and a few shell buttons.  I have not cleaned them, but have tried to put a variety in each bag.

So, how are we going to do this event?  Well, all you need to do is leave a comment on this blog post stating what you might use the buttons for.  There will be FOUR winners who will be selected via random number generator and announced on the September 27th blog post.

 

Since I've been playing with the buttons and having lots of fun with them, I decided that the September blog theme will be Buttons!  On the next blog post, I will have images of a few newly finished pieces you've seen the beginnings of and images of some of my button projects.

 

What are you working on, my dear readers?  What goodies are you tatting for Fall?  There are lots of works-in-progress in the Atelier, but I am also crocheting a wrap and a skinny scarf.  I've additionally been working on some sketches for hand embroidery designs.

 

Rosie Fey is spinning at the door, so I had better take her out and play for a bit. Otherwise, Rosie will not leave me alone to tat!  Be sure to leave a comment on this blog post for your chance to win one of the FOUR button goody bags!  Until next Friday~

Happy Tatting!
