Edging, Doily, and Gifts

I've been busy with other stuff lately and not done so much tatting.  But I kept going on the Fleurette edging which is just about done and the third round of the Mystery Doily which is also about done.



Also...


A little while ago, God's Kid was showing some great Dream Catcher earrings on her blog.  I really fancied a pair... so we did an exchange!  She was wonderful though and sent even more than what we'd agreed so my daughters could have a dream catcher too.  I love those little feathers.  Isn't it a great design?

Thank you Sue!



And finally, I've been exchanging messages with J. who showed this great 3-D Christmas tree on her blog.  I really liked the look of it so she very kindly enabled me to get the pattern from the designer, Edith Roesti.  And then because I was struggling with the pattern, in German, and figuring out how the tree was put together, she sent me one she made in the post!  Isn't it great?  It's got a wooden piece inserted in the base so that it can stand up on its own.



Now I can examine it and hopefully make my own very soon.
I think it's pretty cool with its snow-laden branches.


Best wishes,
Frivole

  6. Lovely earrings, they are beautiful.
    The Christmas tree looks gorgeous, I did see it on a blog but I could not work out how she did it. Looks very Christmassy with the white edging.
    I have started your edging thanks for the pattern, I am doing it on a hanky.

    1. Hi Margaret, I have to say that even with the pattern, it's not obvious how it's done!! I'll work it out and then I can talk about it some more.

  9. Hallo Joelle,
    die Ohrringe sind sehr schön. Ich liebe auch deine Muster.
    Ich freue mich, daß das Weihnachtsbäumchen gut bei dir angekommen ist und dir Freude macht. Ich habe das Muster von Edith Roesti bei der Ausstellung in Achern gekauft. Es gefällt auch mir sehr gut.

    Am already curious on her small tree.
