...to try out my new shuttle and thread from LadyShuttleMaker! Orland, our weekend mailman, had to come knocking on the door to get my attention (I was busy doing laundry with the music cranked up... yes, I do manage to get a few household chores done once in a while!).
I tried to be a good girl and get some cleaning done, but the call of the shuttle and thread was too strong! This is Flower 5 from page 75 of Projects in Tatting by Sheila York. The thread is size 20 Confetti Sprinkles... I LOVE it!
Talking about shuttles, I just bought online my first shuttle!! It has a small hook on top and a place to insert the yarn (whatever that means) - I guess I´ll learn when it comes?! And I hardly can wait.. yaiks, until Thursday they promised. Hmh.
ReplyDeleteNice! The motif, the beautiful thread and that amazing new shuttle! Forget the housework and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really pretty little motif- love the thread!
ReplyDeleteWow -- everything looks great! Confetti Sprinkles sounds like something you'd see on a decorator birthday cake. And tatting with it must be equally festive. That shuttle is so drool-worthy!
ReplyDeleteLet the housework wait awhile longer, your new toys are calling! Such a pretty posy motif. What will you tat next?
OMG is that gorgeous! I am so in awe of what you do! Who cares about housework when you can spend that time making little treasures like this! Well...I guess we DO have to clean also, but wouldn't it be great if we didn't!!! Hugs, :o)

The shuttle and thread are beautiful. I would have been forced to stop also. I like the confetti sprinkles and the motif is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's all so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHow could you not stop and try them out??? Beautiful thread and shuttle. And the thread winder is pretty eye-catching, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't blame you. I love that thread color! The shuttle looks great too and what a cute thread winder...Life's too short, housework can wait!
ReplyDeleteI just saw that you won a book from Jon...congrats! Have a great weekend!
You are too funny! How many shuttles do you have now??? LOL! I bet you could tat with a different shuttle for a whole year...ooooh now that sounds like an exciting idea!
ReplyDelete...May I use your confetti picture? It really looks fab!
That is amazing work! Just love the detail!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous. I love the colours. You must show some photos on your blog of your shuttles.
ReplyDeleteWow, your tatting is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI agree - forget housework, it just gets dirty again. But artwork LASTS!
Thanks for the visit!
