One World~One Heart Giveaway

I am honored and oh, so excited to participate in the One World~One Heart Giveaway hosted by Lisa over at A Whimsical Bohemian is hosting the One World-One Heart event! Thank you, Lisa! I have heard from other bloggers that this is an amazing opportunity to meet other bloggers in the blogging community and share in the joy of blogging and....well....sharing! You see, each blogger participating is having a giveaway on their own blog as well! Hop on over to the One World-One Heart blog and look under the "Gypsy Caravan" list for the participants! There are hundreds!

BUT WAIT!!!

Before you run off to see what all the fabulous prizes are

don't you want to see what I'm giving away?

Why, what else?

ONE HEART!

...a tatted heart, that is!

Is that all, you say?

***********

Okay, well, what if I toss in a shuttle?

Will that do?

Just in case you want to learn to tat.

If you already know how to tat

something tells me that you probably wouldn't mind another shuttle,

would you? ;)

This one is a plastic "Aero" style bobbin tatting shuttle.

Does that sound too complicated?

Aero is just a brand of shuttle.

This is an Aero-knock-off! LOL!

It's a bobbin shuttle because it has a little bobbin

that pops out of the middle of it and you wind the thread on that.

And just to sweeten the pot a little
I'll toss in a little book about learning how to tat.

Oh, You have no thread, you say?
Okay, well how about I throw in some thread?

How's that?

This is Manuela brand cotton crochet thread size 20.

It's multicolor green.

I learned it's only called variegated when you have

a color changing with white otherwise it's

called "multicolor" even if it's the same color, just different shades of it. That should be enough to get you started

until you can get to a store to get some

thread you really like, LOL!
It even comes on a woodburned thread holder shaped like a daisy!

***

Here are all the goodies togeether!

What a happy family!

To give you an idea of the size

the book is the size of an 8&1/2" X 11"

piece of paper folded in half through the width.

Jennypilgrim asked the source for this shuttle.
I got it at a lace day event in
L.A., California one year where
various lace vendors came so
I cannot recall exactly who I bought it from.
I believe you might be able to purchase one
from Handy Hands Tatting.
