Doilies and Coasters

Hi all. Hope you had a nice Easter weekend. I spent most of my time getting ready for a craft fair (that was on Monday)...and eating chocolate of course!

I've also been hard at work on tatting some variations of my 'Cathy' design. Ta da!

This patterns looks great in so many colour combinations. After taking several photos, I've started listing them on Etsy.

Here's the black doily:

You can purchase it here. I'm thinking about doing a wedding white version soon.

This doily was tatted in dark purple, foxglove purple and pale lilac. Find it here.

This is the coaster size in red and pink cotton thread. On Etsy here.

I'll be listing more today, along with some customizable pieces. 

~Tatting patterns~

I'm working on my next tatting pattern. In the mean time, I'm running a mini sale on my original pdf tatting patterns here. Offer ends Thursday 7pm BST / 2PM EDT.

Have a nice Wednesday,

Latest creations and Craftsy

~Latest creations~

 These are available on Etsy.

'Celia' Tudor inspired pendant in ecru cotton thread with pale gold seed beads and gold pearlised beads. 

I'm thinking about making some earrings to match this, perhaps with a teardrop bead at the base.

'Eva' bookmark in multicoloured turquoise, blue and purple cotton thread. I'm currently working on a red and cream version in this design. It's looking good so far.

~Craftsy~

As I've begun to sell patterns I thought I'd better set up a store on Craftsy. You can find me here. The great thing about this site is that when you purchase a pattern, it will be instantly available to download as a pdf. I will be adding the 'Lillian' bracelet on there soon as well as a bookmark pattern I'm working on at the moment.

Have a lovely weekend,

Heather x

Bookmarks

~New bookmarks~

Here is my new 'Lexia' bookmark design. What do you think? I had the idea for this last week. Below is the prototype in black and red, listed in my Etsy shop as a One Of A Kind. It features a handmade black and red cotton tassel, complete with tatted loop.

Next is a Limited Edition version in black, blue and turquoise with a hint of purple. This one is attached to a shiny black tassel. Find it on Etsy here.

This third one was tatted in salmon pink and ivory cotton thread and features a handmade pink and ivory cotton tassel. On Etsy here. 

I will be creating more of these very soon.
