A Happy Bluebird sent this to me, and I am more than delighted with the little fabric envelope with all its pockets and the adorable needle case that closes with velcro!
Thank you, Cindy! I love the colours in the pouch - my faves - and the needle case has been in constant use with all the ends I have had to sew in lately!
Your photography on the card front is beautiful. It is obvious that you have many talents beyond tatting.

I was so excited to see another parcel the next day that I saved opening it till I was in the Beach, near the lake, and I sat by the water and opened the envelope... from Umintsuru, out of the blue!
The hankie is silk and a beautiful shade of pink/shell. The thread looks amazing, #40 and in my favourite pastels. I am really looking forward to trying out this thread that I have never seen before.
Thank you very much, Wendy!
I am so fortunate.

Tatting
Inspired by a post of Frivole’s here, I thought I should brush up on my cluny tatting because I like the Iris Niebach pattern that she has done. It is a real beauty. If I can find time to tat it, it is one that I am eager to attempt.

Before I nip over to see orsi, I want to say well done and what a lovely surprise. I look forward to seeing what you tat with that gorgeous thread.
Lovely hanky, and lovely edging I look forward to seeing it when you have finished.
I had a laugh yesterday with crazy mum saying you were a lady of leisure, well from one lady of leisure to another have a nice weekend.
Love to Gian

so good to have good friends. And such pretty presents.
ReplyDeleteCindy sent such a useful and pretty bag and the hanky and thread from Wendy will be fun.
Such beautiful goodies! What a pleasure to open a package with such interesting things inside! That thread looks very interesting. I look forward to seeing what you create with it.
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow colour is stunning!

What wonderful stamps on your parcel from Singapore! Year of the Snake, there's a rather nice pattern for one on Etsy - Tatting nyonya is the store owner, but I haven't got the link just now.
ReplyDeleteThe thread looks nice, I have a feeling I have seen that brand recently in a new shop just opened here called Daiso - must have a look next time I'm in the vicinity.
Oooh, such nice packages! Love your cluny tatting--I can't get that nice finish no matter how many times I try, so I'm now avoiding clunies ......
ReplyDeleteYour little linen square edging is wonderful!
