A while back I posted that I had an idea of something I wanted to do. That idea is to post pictures of my shuttle collection, using the shuttles with snowflake patterns. I have no clue how long this will take me or how regular I will be with my posts, but I'm starting today!
I was chosen as a lucky test tatter for Frivole's 2015 snowflake. Isn't it pretty? I should have used the blocking template that comes with the pattern, but I was so excited to finish it, I didn't take the time. Luckily, I can re-block it! The blue shuttle is a Clover that I decorated a few years ago. I think this may be one that I used in a shuttle give-away, but I'm not sure. The reindeer is one of my La Cossette shuttles, which I am really enjoying using!
Early this morning I finished round three of the Heart Doily from Land of Laces. I'm finding the pattern very easy to follow!
Today my goal was to finish my pink scarf. I had fringed one end last week, but I just didn't feel like fringing until today. Since I was on a roll, I decided to finish the scarf that I had on the loom. Dave really likes the pink scarf, but the beige one is much softer!
Joanne sent me this picture of the twins today. Look how strong Karolina is! Joanne said that Jan can lift his head well also, he just wasn't cooperating for a picture! In this picture, Karolina looks just like her Auntie Carol at the same age... lucky girl!

An amazing post all around! You've already tatted Frivole's snowflake (fabulous!), you've finished round 3 of the Heart doily (looks good), you've finished and fringed two lovely woven scarves, and you have posted another wonderful photo of the amazing twins! (They are SO adorable!) And that's an impressive goal you've set for cataloging your shuttle collection! It will be fun to follow!
ReplyDeleteI have good intentions, Kathy. Let's see how far they get me!
DeleteI look forward to seeing all your shuttles. Lovely snowflake with the first entry.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can keep with my goal, Jane!
DeleteYes, I will look forward to seeing your shuttle collection… I know it is extensive!! And I bet you have many unique ones.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll see some familiar shuttles! ;-)
DeleteYour snowflake looks awesome!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe doily is awesome too!! :)
Great scarves!! :)
And such adorable little ones!!!!!! :)
Thank you! I intend to tat at least one more this week. Joelle has given me some tips to make it look more like hers, which I think is awesome!
DeleteFrivole designed a beautiful snowflake (when doesn't she design lovely things???) and yours looks great. You've been busy with tatting and weaving - all looks good. And such sweet babies! So cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful snowflake, and I love the name she's chosen... Snowdrop!
DeleteSweet sweet sweet !
ReplyDeleteMy hubby happened to glance as I was reading, and was bowled over by the twins' pic and the cozy comfy duvet (is that the right term?) .... no wonder they are so happy :-D
We sure think they're cute! They're actually propped up on a nursing pillow, something I'd never think to do!
DeleteYour tatting and weaving look absolutely wonderful and the twins look so adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenny! I consider that high praise from you after seeing all of your gorgeous stitchery!
DeleteLovely snowflake I am hoping to win a copy of the pattern from her site. I have not looked at my "Big D" for some time, on row 12. I am also on the last row of the Heart doily but not sure how to proceed attaching the banner of hearts so I will be watching what you do. Lovely scarfs, ready for cooler weather and the twins. Oh so cute, lucky you.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Bernice! It is a lovely pattern. No time to tat last night or tonight... helping out with play practice... so maybe you'll catch up to me! ;-)
DeleteIt's a beautiful snowflake I am hoping to get a copy of the pattern.
ReplyDeleteYour great doily us looking lovely, I have made a lot of the hearts as mini bookmarks I think I must try and make the doily too.
Your shuttles look lovely, I look forward to seeing more of your collection.
Lovely picture of the twins

Ooooo it's getting about that time of year I start thinking about adding more snowflakes for my tree!
