Look what I won!

Clyde Page the MadTatter, had a giveaway on his blog
and I was one of the lucky ones.
I received the package in the mail and this was in it.

The top 2 threads are Middle Earth Silk size 60 by Lady Shuttlemaker
the small one on the left is a King Tut ~ I haven't used this before
the middle card says Tiger Eye in size 80
and the last one has no name on it.

Thanks Clyde,

I have 2 projects that I have been working on, and will show you little snippets since they are not yet completed.

this is a bit of my purse project, it is turning out bigger then I had planned, but in the end I think it will work out.

this is a test tat for someone else.

goody box in the mail

I want to show you the wonderful goody box I received in the mail today.

Michelle over at Tela Magistrae had a drawing a few days ago.  and I won one of the hankies she was giving away.

I received a hanky and a nice selection of other goodies


a package of Moroccan mint green tea, a Lindor chocolate, a ball of size 70 Lily tatting cotton in yellow/purple variegated, a barrette base, and a little baggy with 4 clear plastic rings and a gold clip.
My goodness, what a wonderful selection.











You have to see the very pretty card that came with the package.

A couple of days ago, I received some thread that I had ordered from Krystle.

I'm thinking that the size 40 Wisteria Lane just might be the right thread for this hanky.  The colors don't seem to look very good here in this photo, I maybe should have scanned the threads instead, but laying the thread on the hanky, you can see that the Wisteria Lane looks pretty good.  It picks up the greens in the leaves and highlights the lighter purple  in the roses. 

I have not yet choosen an edging, will have to pull the pattern stash out and do some digging. 

If any of you have a suggestion as to the edging you would think appropriate, please leave a comment.  Thanks
