As I would imagine with everyone who makes tatted gifts for friends and relations at Christmas, unless they have been very well prepared in advance, time runs out and it means a frantic dive into stash or making something very simple. I went to a friends house this week and she had all the tatted pieces that I had made over the years displayed and I hardly recognized them, rarely do I keep any examples myself. I made these three very quickly as time just ran out!
The churches are decorated for Christmas
At home we have the Christmas Pyramid out
Complete with figures including a cherub band
A German Oompah Band
A Vicar and choir
And an African Nativity Scene
As you can see when the candles are alight they all go round and round!
A Very Happy and
Blessed Christmas to everyone
Merry Christmas

A blessed Christmas to you Sally and 'im in the garage!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have a Swedish decoration similar to yours, 'cept it is 'candle powered and revolves from the heat of the candles. However, all my Christmas decorations ~ including my Frankoma nativity from the 40's ~ are all boxed up. Just not enough energy to get it all out; and, no one else seems interested. A shame! I was always a holiday decorator..it is one thing that my youngest remembers about growing up! I suppose that is what counts; that I was able to do it when it had meaning. She continues the 'traditions' in her home.
Christmas blessings to you; I really hope we can make Christmas eve services, but with Loyal having pneumonia; probably not a good idea to go out in the 27 degree night air at 7,000 feet. :>)
love and hugs, bev
Sometimes the simplest tatting is the most elegant and loved. Wishing you a Blessed Christmas!
