Another fox has arrived

Well I’m more than delighted to have another new fox drop into my inbox today. This is from Arlene who says

105 ” Hi,

I happily stumbled onto your blog the day you said: I’m 100. I thought : Wow!! This person is 100 and has their own blog. I went onto discover that you had 100 completed fox bookmarks sent to you. Amazing!

I loved your pattern and set to creating my own fox bookmark. I needle tat and had a few problems with the last outline of the head, but had so much tatting my fox.

I used:

a size 5 needle, 

light colored thread: Aunt Lydias Size 10, color copper mist

dark colored thread: DMC Cebelia, unknown color

Ha, ha, Arlene - I do have a slightly wacky sense of humour. Please forgive me. I’m only 77 in real life although some days I feel like 100 like most people!! Thanks for taking part in the TIAS.

Two more foxes

Yvonne sent in two more foxes which you can find below.   Thanks so much for sending them, Yvonne.

March 12th

Yvonne has arrived now with her foxy bookmark. That makes 104 which is truly amazing. She says

104.    "Hi Jane, because we only opened up in February and then we had another lockdown, we are a bit late in completing our bookmarks. But we thoroughly enjoyed it. Some guesses were , an aeroplane, an insect and various other animals. We can’t wait for the next one. Thanks again, Yvonne 

This is the first book mark completed in my class. Thanks for doing it we all enjoy it!

Regards, Yvonne "

Another foxy bookmark!

103.    To get to this number of a hindered and three Elain has sent in her bookmark. This is what she says

“Here is my fox. He is a hot mess but as a beginner I am still proud of him. I really enjoyed this and even though it doesn't look like it I learned a lot. Before this I was intimidated by split ring now I enjoy then. 

I plan to try some of the past Tat and See and continue to improve. Thanks so much for doing these. Elaine”

Well Elaine I must say that as a beginner and not knowing what you were making I think you’ve done a remarkable job on your bookmark. It’s not easy when you know what you’re making and is almost impossible when you don’t!!! Congratulations.

Another fox has arrived

102. Another day and another fox. This time it’s Gail’s fox which has just arrived. She says

“ Hello, Jane, 

Here is my foxy bookmark. It is tatted with size 20 Lizbeth threads, #641 (Lilac Dark) and #642 (Lilac Medium).

This was my first time joining your TIAS project, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you for taking the time to create the pattern and share it in such a fun way with all of us. I look forward to joining you again next year!

Thanks for joining in, Gail.  I’m so glad you enjoyed the fun. 

I'm 100 today!!!

Well that's not my age but the number of people who have now made foxes and sent them in. I'm VERY happy about that. 

100. This is from Claire who sends in day 15 as well. She says

"Hello Jane, 

I just realized that I didn't send in my penultimate Day 15 and the final one. 

So here are the pictures of my Foxy bookmark. 

I used Lizbeth threads in size 20, in Seagreen Light (#686) and Dark (#688). They are not very 'foxy' colours, but I might do this pattern again later on in more 'appropriate' colours. 

Thank you for the fun guessing game. You really got us nearly to the very end this year. Hope to see another TIAS next year. 

Take care.
