Well, I’m going to try blogging. I’ve been reading some really great ones and I’m excited to try it myself.
I’m going to start with an old idea, at least in our family. This is a turkey wishbone thimble holder. A great-great aunt of my husband’s had made these, some with tatting and some with crochet. I decided I would give it a try. Unlike my husband’s aunt’s, I sprayed the bone with a sealer before putting the thread on.
My kids liked what it looked like after I was done, but a little unhappy because they never got to break the wishbone at Thanksgiving.
Wow, this is a pattern I’ve seen in books, but this is the first time I’ve seen it tatted up for real – very cute!
Also, welcome to blogging! I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work!
Thanks! I’d never seen anything like it before, or since. And thanks for the welcome.
How Awesome. I didn’t realize what it was tatted on, until I got to reading your post! I just how neat!!!!
I really like this too. I’ll have to save my next ‘wishbone’!!!
