Candy Cane Mouse

If I manage to do this right, this post shouldn't show up until tomorrow 12/21.

I know it's odd for me posting twice in one day, and since I didn't want to put

anyone into a Bonnie overload I'm holding it off until tomorrow :-)

Dawn from Dawn's Stamping Studio showed how to make this Candy Cane Mouse.

I decided I had to make them for the ladies I work with.

Here's a closer look.

Aren't they the cutest thing.

Thank you for sharing, Dawn.

Happy Monday,

Bonnie

Update** I made another 18 for a total of 25, to gift away. Quite Fun.

Rosette Motif & Doily

When we were in Texas earlier this year I blogged about Jon's Rosette Motif & Doily. I showed it to my friend, Mark (different Mark then my husband) who was able to turn it into this awesome paperweight. I asked him to be sure it was made right side up when he made it, which he did.

The paperweight was made in layers so that the motif is suspended in the layers of hard plastic. He did an excellent job, Thank- you Mark.

This is a Christmas gift it to my friend, Rose. She will recognize the thread as Yarnplayer's HDT "Roses" because I have gifted something to her in the past using this awesome HDT.

I forgot to mention that I stuck a piece of white felt on the bottom of it so it's not abrasive to a desktop or any other surface.

Super neat, I think she's going to like it.

Happy Sunday, Everyone.

Jane's Butterfly

I haven't tatted in months, and should have spent the time finishing up our Christmas cards, but instead I spent part of the last two days making this....... Jane's Butterfly.



Sadly it really is so much prettier than it looks. Here it looks all misshappen, but it's still pretty good for my first piece in months.

Thank you, Jane, for another great pattern.

Happy Life, Everyone!

LadyShuttleMaker's Generosity

LadyShuttleMaker, a friend to the online tatting world, is having a give away. This is her 3rd week of generosity and sadly I missed getting in on the action for the last 2 weeks. Don't you miss out too. Click on her Monday Mondo banner to the left of this post to be taken directly to her blog.

Good Luck everyone.

LOL, I just signed up for this and found I've missed out on it for the 3rd week too, it ends on Saturdays. Okay better luck to me next time.

A Good Feeling

At home I am up daily between 5 and 5:30. This week on vacation I am getting up around the same time, although my family isn't getting up until much later. Because I do not want to turn on the lights in order to tat, I have been making coffee and setting here at the computer reading blogs. I am so happy to say that after falling hundreds of blog posts behind I am finally caught up... and with comments as well. Feels like a fresh start.

I am now trying to get caught up on In Tatters, but at 500+ posts that seems overwhelming. However, I hate the thought of missing out on anything :-)

Happy Thursday!
