Shipping To The US Update.

     Afternoon everyone. I have news for all you lovely people in the US.

    As you've probably heard, the de minimis for packages under $800 entering the US finished at the end of August. This means I needed to wait for Royal Mail to create a way for the tariff fees to be prepaid and then to check it was all working. Having kept an eye on forums and social media, I now feel confident enough to start posting to the US again on Etsy!

    I've done some calculations and will need to add in shipping fees to my listings again. It will be $5 per order (with $0.50 for extra items) but I'm making shipping free for purchases $35 and over. Doing it this way means you won't have any extra fees to pay when your package reaches the US. Digital tatting patterns are unaffected.

    It would be nice if this Executive Order was rolled back but until then, this is the best way I can do it.

    In other news, I've just listed a one of a kind lace bookmark in my Etsy shop. This one started life as an order but I realised soon into it that I'd added too many double stitches for the chains (making it much longer) so I decided to finish it and sell it as a one off piece. It's just over 7 1/2 inches long and features over 400 stitches.

It is ready to ship and you can find it here.

More updates soon,

New Trim

    Good afternoon all. I hope you had a nice weekend / bank holiday. I spent it tidying, playing board games and running around Cyrodiil in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. I've loved this game for years and it's wonderful to see an updated version. The devs have done a great job! Anyone else playing it?

    I'm dipping my toes into the world of handmade tatted lace trim! I've done a bit before for a lovely customer and I now want to build on that. So here's my first design:

    'Petal' is a flexible edging that can be moved into different positions (including side to side), making it a versatile piece. It can be used for various crafts like card making, mixed media and jewellery making. It could be sewn to a bridal veil or used as an edging for a mat. I have listed it as a custom piece with colour and length choices.

You can find it in any of my shops from this list:

Website

Etsy

Folksy

Crafter's Market UK

eBay UK 

ko-fi

So what colour should I make next? I'm thinking white.

Shop Announcement

Shop Announcement

    Afternoon all. I have some shop news to share with you. Etsy have updated their settings for GPSR which means I can now list my creations again! I'll be adding them in batches of 20 per day until I'm where I was in December so please bear with me. Most of my tatting patterns are part of this first update. Find them here.

    Thank you for your patience on this and I'm sorry I can't ship to Northern Ireland currently (or the EU). I'll let you know if the process of obtaining an authorized representative becomes more affordable for me.

Shop and Social Media Master List

This is my master list of where you can find me. I will be updating it with new links over time.

Shops

Website and shop: My main shop. This is where you can buy my tatting patterns, shuttle tatted bookmarks and jewellery. Coming soon: hand painted tatting thread, hand spun yarn, spinning batts and hand woven scarves.

Ko-fi: This is where you can find works in progress photos, behind the scenes stuff, my tip jar, a shop for my tatting patterns and handmade lace, and also commissions. If you like what I do and would like to support me as I grow my one woman business, you can 'buy me a coffee' on there. This is totally optional x.

Etsy shop: My longest running shop. Currently available: shuttle tatted bookmarks, jewellery, table decor and One Of A Kind pieces.

Folksy shop: I've started my Folksy shop again and am slowly but surely adding more pieces. I have most of my most popular pieces available with more coming soon.

Crafter's Market UK shop: Similar to my Folksy shop.

Redbubble shop: My other shop for my photography and art side project.

Social Media

Blog: My main journal.

bluesky: My main social channel. Here I share work in progress photos, news, Shop Updates and posts of others on subjects that are important to me.

Threads: This is where I share and talk about my creations.

Instagram (tatting): A pictorial journal of my shuttle tatting creations.

Instagram (textiles): This profile is for anything other than tatting: spinning, weaving, Tunisian crochet and loom knitting.

Pinterest: A place where I share photos that inspire me along with my own items.

Benable: A fun place to share recommendations for products, crafts supplies, music etc that I personally use and enjoy. (Some posts contain affiliate links which means I may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase at not extra cost to you. It just helps me do more of my passions.)

I also have a profile on twitter but I'm not focusing on it right now.

Thank you for your continued support. Every like, share and sale means so much to me.

Shop Update Announcement

Evening all. I've decided that I want to get back to more regular Shop Updates this year, so I'll do one per week and see how it goes. Each will be a mix of any of the following: new creations, remakes, tatting, hand dyed thread and more.

My first Shop Update will be this Friday at 5pm UK time (12pm EST). I'll share details here, on Instagram and my other socials when it's up and also some sneak peaks before then.

I can't wait to show you what I've been working on.

Shop News

        Good evening / good afternoon / good morning and welcome to my first blog post of 2025. With all the uncertainty with social media right now, I've decided to write more blog posts this year. I'll still be posting on twitter, bluesky and also now Threads but my blog will be a central place for me to post news and behind the scenes stuff, so that it's all in one place. So, here are some things I'd like to share with you.

*** Important Shop News ***

        Due to the new GPSR rules and the cost it involves, I can no longer sell to Northern Ireland (as well as the EU). This means that I cannot currently list new items created after 13th December on Etsy until a workaround has been put in place to separate NI from the rest of the UK for shipping (I've heard it will start to roll out at the end of February but I'll let you know if it changes). This includes my patterns. 

        In the mean time, all of the items currently listed in my Etsy shop (from before 13th December) are in stock and ready to ship.

        If you are outside of Northern Ireland and the EU and would like to purchase something that's out of stock, please check my Sold page, contact me and I'll create a listing for you.

        So sorry for the inconvenience.

        So which marketplace shop am I focusing on for the next few months? Well, I've decided to move my made to order and new items to my Folksy shop. The shipping locations have already been split so I can continue selling on there. I'm also working on adding listings on my own website.

        I'll be writing a blog post soon with a full list of my online shops.

        Again, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience whilst I move around my listings.

        More updates tomorrow,

                           Heather x

New Bundle Options

 Afternoon all. I hope you're well and if you're in Florida, please stay safe. I'm thinking of you over there.

I have an Etsy update to share with you today. They have now made it easier to bundle up items. If you click on one of my listings, you will see other listings you can add to your order for a percentage off. I've set mine to 5% OFF for bundles of two and 10% OFF for bundles of three. 

If you'd like a different combination of items, say a bookmark with a pair of earrings and a set of two coasters, please contact me and I'll create a listing for you. Feel free to mix and match.

In other bundle news I've added a listing for all 15 of my current tatting patterns. You will receive the PDF files in zip folders that can be unzipped once you download them (details in the listing). You can find it here.

More updates soon.

Tatania Rosa Updates

 Good afternoon everyone. I've decided to start blogging again. 

Lots has been happening at Tatania Rosa HQ and I thought I'd share some of them here.

Firstly, I've decided to run a Flash Sale over in my Etsy shop. Get 25% OFF your order. Prices have been marked down throughout the store on tatting patterns, bookmarks, jewellery and more, and the offer is valid until midnight this evening (Monday) BST / 7pm EDT.

Next, I've slowly been adding tatting patterns. I wish I could be quicker at listing them but I get stressed whilst doing them (which is something I need to work on for future patterns). This means I need to pace myself but I am happy once I've completed them. So here are my latest bookmark patterns (click on the photos to go to each listing):

Not only have I been working on my Etsy shop, I'm also adding to my website here. (I have a One of A Kind and Limited Edition Collection in the works that will be added to my website soon and I'll share the link here when it's ready.)

In other news, I've created a Ko-fi page where you can find behind the scenes stuff, a poll and a shop. If you'd like to support my business but can't afford any items right now, you can buy me a digital coffee. This is totally voluntary and all money will go back into my business to buy materials and tools. Thank you 😘.

That's it for today.

Have a lovely Monday,

Lacy Bookmarks

 Good afternoon all.

First off, I have some exciting news to share. I've just reached 1000 followers over on my Instagram page! 😃 I'm so grateful for all the support I've received so far and look forward to sharing more of my creations in the future. Follow me there for something special this week. 😉 

I've been adding some more tatting to my Etsy shop.

The first one is my 'Janessa' bookmark design in white cotton thread:

This would make a lovely wedding favour. Bulk discounts and other colours are available. Feel free to contact me with your ideas. You can find it here.

I've also relisted my summer garden bookmark:

This would make a lovely gift for the bookworm in your life or why not treat yourself. Find it here.

New Yarn!

Good afternoon. I hope you're all well.

 I have some new Etsy listings to share with you.

First up is 'Fuchsias' - a hand painted 4 ply / fingering weight cotton yarn in magenta and violet. Find it here.

I've also listed two skeins of 'Candy Floss and Clouds' - a super chunky / super bulky merino wool yarn in pink, purple, blue and white. This yarn is so soft and squishy! 😍 They are available here.

I'm currently photographing more squishy goodness and will have these available soon. Keep an eye on here, twitter, Facebook or Instagram for updates.

Stay safe,
