Blog Giveaway - Silk Tatted Cuff

Good Afternoon, everyone!  Hopefully today will be the day that this silk cuff finds it's home.

I tatted it using Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk, in color Subtle Elegance, and it is adorned with size 11 opal silver lined delica seed beads.  If you would like a chance to own this piece, just become a member and follower of this blog, and leave a comment on this post and I will enter your name to be selected.  The winner will be selected on April 11, 2015 at 3 pm EST, and I will announce the winner on April 12.

I hope you have all been having a great day, and getting lots done.  I managed to finish  the little square Aemelia Ars motif for the handkerchief, and start the round one. . . I'm still not sure which one I will choose.

This little one was made using Fincrochet cotton size 50 in Ecru and a size 10 Piecemaker Embroidery needle.  All in all, I think it came out okay, and I can't get over how tiny and cute this little guy is. lol

The round motif is a bit bigger, so I decided I would use Fincrochet cotton size 30 in Ecru, with a size 9 embroidery needle.  I haven't gotten too much done on it, but I did complete one of the little loaves.

The rest of my morning was spent working on the Irish Crochet Capelet.  I've been sorting through my beads and pearls, to see which adornments will look best with the cream color of the thread.  I'm not sure if I want to keep it all cream, or add a little gold to the capelet.  I will take some photos of the different choices next to the motifs, and perhaps you will help me decide.

I've been looking through my stash, trying to decide what I should work on next.  I haven't made a Romanian Point Lace piece in awhile, and it's been ages since I tatted anything.  But I also want to practice my Venetian Point Gros, and try a Reticello tutorial or two. . . decisions, decisions. . . lol

Well, I hope you are all having a great day, and I really hope I find a home for the silk tatted cuff.  Have a wonderful day!  'Til tomorrow,

Happy Stitches!
