TIAS day 12

Well, the TIAS turned out to be a goat. A blue and green one at that!

I had always wondered what it would be like to tat with a variety of threads of differing thicknesses all in the one item. This was not the ideal item to experiment with this idea :(

Part-way through the project it became apparent that one shuttle had been loaded with blue size 30 and the second shuttle had been loaded with green size 20. So much for using up leftover threads!!!

Anyway, here is the poor lopsided green and blue goat :)

2012 TIAS

A new TIAS - hoorah!

Day 1, and I have no idea what it is meant to be.

Jane's TIAS can be located on her blog

Max, the mauve breasted rooster

Now here is something to crow about. Meet Max, the mauve breasted rooster.

He hatched yesterday and already has a proud comb.

This TIAS was really enjoyable, thanks Jane! It was the first TIAS that I have been involved in and I'm a bit sad that the title was 'TIAS 2010', because this infers that there is only one per year :(

I really appreciated all of the experienced tatters putting their TIAS online each day because I checked them out before proceeding with my own each time.

TIAS day 10

I too have a rooster by day 10 of the TIAS.

However, my rooster is mauve breasted, whereas other peoples' roosters are uniform in colour. Hmmm.....perhaps I may have unwittingly swapped shuttles at some point in the project. Ah, the non-conformist in me is coming out.

TIAS day 4

This part of the TIAS looks a bit like a hat that has a tail. A bit like the one that Daniel Boone used to wear in the show that was on TV during my childhood.

TIAS

Confession time...... I had stopped doing the TIAS (before I had even begun) because I wasn't sure how to proceed. But then I saw all of the other tatters' photos and realised what was expected of me.

Ta-da, now I have completed day 1 of TIAS too!
