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.

More to come soon.

Stay safe,

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,

New Tatting Pattern

Afternoon everyone. I hope you are well. I have a new original tatting pattern to share with you all.

'Annabelle' Snowflake Decoration

This intermediate pattern features diagrams for both left and right-handers, along with written instructions in English. Find it in my Etsy shop.

In other news, I'm working on my next textile Collection. This one will be sea themed and include tatted bookmarks, hand spun yarn and potentially lace jewellery (if I have enough materials). Here's part of it.

Follow me on Instagram for more sneak peeks. I'm not sure when it will all be ready but, in the meantime, I'm going to be doing a mini Shop Update this Friday.

Stay safe,

Heather xx 

Shop Update Information

Afternoon. How is everyone doing in these strange times? I'm not too bad. As you probably noticed, I decided to scale back my Etsy shop in March to just my tatting patterns. What with the UK lockdown in progress, I was becoming too anxious to work on physical orders. For the past few months I've been trying to relax with other crafts, writing, reading and baking. I've also been working out a plan to get back into the swing of things. So, in this blog post, I intend to explain the changes for my shop.

The first major change, at least for the next few months, is that I will only be selling within the UK. This is due to a delay in shipments to other countries. Really sorry about that. Any items I list can be repeated, so don't worry, you won't be missing out on any One Of A Kind pieces.

The second change is in how I list creations. I normally add them as Made to Order but currently, I cannot guarantee that my suppliers haven't been impacted so instead, I will be tatting the items first and then listing them in batches. The first of these will be tomorrow at 5pm UK time in my Etsy shop.

The pieces will be a mixture of old favourites and new colourways and I will make sure they are all letterbox friendly.

Stay safe,
Heather xxx

Spinning in Progress

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you had a lovely weekend. 

I have decided to spend this week focusing on work in progress pieces. I have three loom knitting, many tatting and one spinning project to finish. Why do I always end up with several creations on the go at once lol. 

So here's my latest spindle spinning.

It's my first time spinning Blue Faced Leicester roving and I've thoroughly enjoyed it! I've just finished chain plying it and it's ready for a bath.

When we have better weather, I will be photographing my newly hand spun yarn and adding it to my website TataniaRosa.co.uk 

In other news I've relisted a pair of gothic lace dangle earrings in my Etsy shop here.

Have a nice Monday,

Heather x 

Day 5

One Of A Kind and Limited Edition Week

Day 5

It's the final day of my One of a Kind and Limited Edition Week.

The last piece is this rose bookmark featuring my own hand dyed orange and golden yellow cotton thread and leaf green cotton thread. Find it on Etsy here.

You can find the rest of the week's listings here.
