Tattika the tatting fairy is a year old! To celebrate, Rita Richmond of Shuttle by Design offered tatting shuttles and these adorable tote bags. Mine arrived on April 1st, a perfect way to celebrate International Tatting Day!
I put my new shuttle to use today. I'm still enjoying tatting Ice Drops, especially my Doodle pattern. I'm nearly finished with my ball of Lizbeth #115, Springtime. I think I probably have enough for three more Ice Drops, so I'll keep trying different picot variations.
I finished another bookmark today, again using size 20 Lizbeth Springtime. The pattern is Autumn Bookmark from Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. The shuttle is by Veronica of TattingShuttles on Etsy. The pattern calls for a tail with a tassel, which I left off so that I could use a bookmark sleeve. Done in autumn colors, this bookmark reminds me of falling leaves. In Springtime, I just see a pretty bookmark!
Great new shuttle for your collection!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Ice drop and bookmark!!! :)
Thanks, Sue!
DeleteTattika is so pretty! How nice to have a sweet tatting fairy watching over your Ice Drops, bookmarks, and shuttle collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marilee! I hope you and Jan are well.
DeleteAh, I wasn’t sure what I was looking at in the picture. The picture on the bag is so 3 D I thought it was a doll! Perfect bag for a tatter. The bookmark is lovely in Spring colours. The sleeve so sensible that it’s worth leaving the tassel off for.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane! I'm finding that I prefer my tatted bookmarks in the sleeves. They stay cleaner and I'm not constantly straightening the lace.
DeleteI've never heard of the tatting fairy until now!!! What a pretty shuttle.
ReplyDeleteRita Richmond came up with the tatting fairy about a year ago. I think she's cute!
DeleteStunning bag and shuttle! I saw it on fb and didn't realise the dimensions. The sleeve does make the lace bookmark hassle-free especially when gifted.
ReplyDeleteI saw a picture of Rita holding the bag, so I knew it was a good size. I plan on carrying it everywhere!
DeleteLove the bookmark, so beautiful in that colorway! Wonderful bag, cute little fairy!
ReplyDeleteI love bags! I have way too many, but sometimes they're irresistible!
DeleteGorgeous shuttle, and beautiful ice drop
ReplyDeleteLovely bookmark love that thread
