Six years of blogging about tatting
Next week will be six years from the date I posted my first entry in this tatting blog. That entry was to mark my participation in the 25-motifs challenge organised by Sharon Briggs. They have been wonderful six years. I am very thankful for the comments made about my entries through the years. The comments are what made me continue tatting and blogging, sharing what I know and continue to learn from what I read and see from others.
What better way to celebrate than to have a giveaway, and I know everyone loves giveaways.
This will be a part-blind giveaway. I am not going to show you what I will be giving away (read as: I am still working on it). I will be drawing two winners in this giveaway. Besides getting whatever-it-is-that-I-am-working-on, from the two names drawn, I will flip a coin to determine who will get this,
To enter the draw is so easy, just leave a comment, one only, in this blog post only.
You may read about this giveaway in other places but only comments left in this post will be included in the draw. I have removed any comments restrictions for the duration of the giveaway.
There is no need to for you be a follower of my blog nor do you need to post about this in your blog/website.
The two names will be picked on 23rd August, which is the date of my first post six years ago, and the winners will be announced soon after. Hopefully, by then I will be able to show what the other gifts are.
I will be announcing the winners through this blog so, please remember to check in here from 23rd August onwards.
Added at 8:45am, 23rd August (my timezone is GMT+8)
Today is the last day to enter your name for the drawing. I will be making the random selection later today.
The participation in this giveaway is now closed. Any comments made after this will not be included in the drawing which I will be making soon. The two names picked will be announced in my next post.

Congrats on six years! Your tatting work is truly magnificent :) here's to many more years ;)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother and her mother used to tat, but they were gone before I could get them to teach me how to do this lovely craft.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to learn to tat but have not been successful. I taught myself to crochet and thought it would be easy to learn to tat. I haven't given up though...I will learn one day! Congratulations on 6 years!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your talents with us. How beautiful. I'm always envious of someone who can do something that I can only hope to enjoy. Keep Tatting! Diana in Bloomsburg, PA

ReplyDeleteI know I'm really late but .... I love tatting but I have yet to learn it. I think I need someone to actually sit down with me but, alas, no one around who even knows what I'm talking about. Lost arts, indeed. Yours looks beautiful and perfect. Take care.

ReplyDeleteI just discovered tatting a few days ago! I'm in love. I've tatted a fish and now I'm attempting a dragonfly. Your dragonfly. I started it this morning. I take about half an hour to make one split ring haha. I made my own shuttle with recycled materials. I'm having so much fun! =)
Thank you for your patterns, I look forward to making many of them and dazzling my friends that have never heard of tatting hehe
