Name Change and My First Giveaway! (closed)

Well, after much thinking and praying, I've changed my Etsy store name.  My work can now be found at www.LacesByAlanaTatter.etsy.com. My new focus is on custom wedding laces and jewelry.  To mark this transition, I am starting a giveaway!  Post a comment on this message telling me what you would like to see in my store before Christmas, and I will choose a random comment this Saturday, November 19th! 

The earrings are white cotton thread, have glass pearls in the center of each heart, and the ear wires are rose gold plated.  If you'd prefer sterling silver plated, please let me know in your comment! 

Thanks for looking, and have a great week!

Sheep 2010

Hello everyone! Life has been really busy, but I wanted to show off my lambs this year! All of then were born in April, and several of them are very friendly. These are lambs that I have to sell and I would really like to see them go to good homes. If you are interested, please send me a convo through my etsy store: YourCrowningGlory. This is Paul. He is a pure Shetland wether lamb. His fleece is black at the tips and white mixed with a few dark strands further down. Next year he'll be almost white with a black face and legs.

This is Mark. He is a pure Shetland wether lamb. He is very black.
Goldilocks is 3/4 Shetland and has little tiny horns. She is white.
Elizabeth is 1/2 Shetland and 1/4 Suffolk and 1/4 Jacob. She is white with a freckled face and legs.

Above is Martha. She is 1/2 Shetland and 1/4 Suffolk and 1/4 Jacob. Her horns look very much like Jacob horns.

Thanks for looking, and have a nice day!

And yet more lamb pictures from last spring

Spring Lambs

Last week one of our ewes had a ram lamb! Since her name is Beatrix, (as in Potter) his name is Peter (as in Rabbit). The Lord God is so kind to give us such blessings!

New Lace Jewelry Designs!

The Burgundy necklace is one that I have had finished for a little while, but never got around to posting. It has lots of Swarovski crystals dangling from the lace, and shiny beads at the sides and back. The thread is actually embroidery floss, so the thread in this necklace is very soft.



The Green necklace was a gift for a friend. It was made with freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals.
Here are the matching earrings.

Another view of the necklace. My camera was acting up a bit, so the pictures aren't the best quality. Perhaps another time it will work better, Lord willing.

I've been Tagged!

Miss Carey tagged me and here is the picture.

The rules are:

2. go to your 5th file.
3. go to your 5th picture.
4. blog about it.
5. tag 5 people …...

This is a necklace that I made. It is currently for sale in my Etsy store. It is made with vintage bright yellow thread and new sheer ribbon. (The thread is almost neon yellow!) I had just enough thread on the shuttles for this project! It is very bright and cheerful. The picture is too dark. I tweaked it before putting it on Etsy. You can see the updated pictures here. I enjoyed making this necklace.

Hair barrettes!

Ecru lace barrette with earthtone glass beads - what a statement!
I really like the green one with the pearl beads on it.

These are perfect for a small updo or just getting your bangs out of your face (if they are long enough).
These are in the shop now!
