Springtime Butterfly And A New Shuttle

Springtime Butterfly And A New Shuttle

     This one was done with Lizbeth, size 20, springtime and leaf green med.  




     Wicked Nothings had hosted a tatting shuttle exchange.  The requirements was a shuttle, meters of thread, and something about you.  I just received my gorgeous shuttle with a dove on each side and lots of  thread, beads, earwires and postcards.  My secret shuttle person was Lottie from Florida....thanks a bunch Lottie.


 The post cards are of the insulators that they collect.  Boy, does that bring back wonderful memories.  One of the summers, I spent at my grandpa's house, we found a few insulators along the abandon railroad area.  I always thought the seagreen glass was very pretty.

If you are interested in doing a secret exchange.  Wicked Nothings is hosting a Secret Santa Exchange!!!  OH, what FUN!!

     I love this little 3-D butterfly, designed by Jane.  They are so delicate.  This one was made with Lizbeth, size 40, pink cocoa.  They're not as hard as they look.
