Even more Christmas trees!!

The pink pair are for a friend of mine. Her DIL lives in Ireland and loves all things pink and black! Her bridesmaids wore pink dresses with black spots on this past August.
The green ones are to list again on ebay or Etsy as stocks are dwindling again!!!! I shall finish off the pair (with red beads) that I've started and then go back to giveaways or to finish off my Secret Santa exchange.

Made up with myself!!

Well in spite of many small things (and expensive) holding me up yesterday I finally managed to draw the curtains on the world at four o'clock when it got dark (and very cold) and started in on some more tatting. I decided to do some more of my Christmas giveaways. The two below are done in the same two colours but look very different.

I fell out with somebody yesterday

Yes, I did. BIG time. I was SO angry that steam was coming out of my head. I ranted and raved for the whole of ten minutes and then looked to sort the problem out. No way could I do that so that was the end of that relationship. Who did I fall out with? The easiest person in the world to argue and get angry with. Myself. My own silly, silly self!!!!
Now to explain why! I saw on HBT that there was a discussion going on about Rubi threads so remembered that I'd got two balls which I'd been given at the Palmetto tat days. Out they came. I was so busy concentrating on how I felt about them (and for once sort of watching telly) that I went wrong. Unfortunately it wasn't until yesterday afternoon when I thought I'd finish the motif off that I realised that I'd made a mistake in the first round. Boy, was I cross with myself!!!
Anyway, what do I think of the Rubi threads? LOVE the colours but don't like the thread. Marginally, (only marginally!) better than perle but that's all. Such a shame they're not a tighter twist. The one I fell out with is the first one and after I'd got over my dissapointment I made two others. Same colours but different ways round!!!!

Santa's arrived in Tatland!!!

Martha's latest addition to the Tatbead family has arrived in Tatland!!! Santa has arrived early!! You can see him here with the rest of the Tatbeads. Here he is on his own!!!
Thank you SO much, Martha. Where DO you find the time?
Me? I'm still working on the idea which I shall 'launch' after Christmas and am also making more 'giveaways' which I hope to post again here soon.

More Christmas trees!!

Once I start on these I find it very hard to stop!! I've listed some in my Etsy shop and will also list some on ebay later when it's working again - seems to be having a lie on on this Sunday morning!!!!!! Oh, I'll also list a couple of Aero shuttles.

I think my favourite trees are still the black ones but the new red ones are fighting for top place. I found the small star shaped buttons in a tiny outlet in the town yesterday. Couldn't resist using them.

Sorry, my apologies to ebay!!! It wasn't them that was at fault but my computer!! I managed to get all the other trees listed from my laptop!!!!
