There has been little time for tatting lately apart from more Flocon d'Or to go in my cards but I recently received a skein a Rainbow-licious from Jess and I just had to try it out. So bright and cheerful!
Here is just a little motif to show off the colours.
I was actually trying to make a pattern specifically for Rainbow-licious and came up with this one which was not exactly what I was looking for but I like it nonetheless. I think I will work on a corner for it too.
It's definitely too spring-like in those colours!
mmm... but it's just given me another idea...
And lastly, I've been making biscuits (or cookies as many of you will call them) and having fun decorating them and giving them to guests or hosts. Top ones are chocolate and bottom ones are gingerbread.
Right, I've got to, urgently, go write up some more cards!
He, Ho, just realised today is another cool date:

Best wishes,
Lovely colourful tatting, and even your biscuits look lacy too!
ReplyDeleteIt just shows my love of lace extends even to my baking!! :-))
DeleteJess does have some beautiful colors, and I like the way the thread works up in the edging.
ReplyDeleteReady for Christmas? No way! I have a table full of presents to wrap. We still don't have our big tree up, and I have two scarves and two blankets to finish. I need another week!
Merry Christmas!
Oh great! That makes me feel better Diane! Hope you manage to finish everything in time.
DeleteEven your biscuits are gorgeous! They look like baked lace.
ReplyDeleteThat edging is beautiful, can't wait to see the corner too. And the little motif, is that your own too?
Hi Michelle, thank you! Yes the little motif is mine too... it's nothing really, but I was trying to come up with something to showcase the thread. Not there yet.
DeleteThe cookies are gorgeous...and I love your ideas with the thread. I am looking forward to seeing how that progresses. I, myself, have 2 hat and scarf sets, a set of kitchen towels to edge, and 4 snowflakes yet to go...and then the wrapping!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your tatting is flawless. Your cookies (the Sesame Street character is called "Cookie Monster"; "Biscuit Monster" simply wouldn't work ;)) are so beautiful, too! You are truly a multi-talented lady!
ReplyDeleteI still have two hats to finish, but luckily the recipients aren't particular about celebrating Christmas actually on the 25th.
Everything you do is artistic and special! I had hoped the designs were just dusted on with sugar, using a stencil, but of course you drew the designs on with some kind of frosting/piping gizmo! Amazing and perfectly done!
ReplyDeleteAnd you still found time to test that lovely thread and come up with an edging pattern! Excellent!
I love the rainbow motif and the cookies are absolutely adorable!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous little pattern with that lovely rainbow thread, I did like the edging. Your biscuits looks yummy
ReplyDeleteHave a good day
Margaret
Love the edging - very nice. I think I will do one of these type borders on the hankie... Thanks for the idea.
