Every so often, projects are actually completed, at least that’s how it seems.  There are always several shuttles filled with thread attached to some length of edging, shuttles filled with some odd color of thread for demonstration or to help someone tat their way into or out of their current situation.  But then tatters also have projects in mind.

For the past couple of years, we have missed Sherry’s mothers Angel at the top of our Monte Vista Tree.  It has gone out on loan.  But the pattern is still available.  Tatsy is a company that has been around for some 30 years or more and with a presence on ebay, it’s pretty easy to obtain patterns.  So I got one.  The pattern pamphlet looks like this: 

Obviously the same pattern from the photo on the cover, it has a copywrite date of 1981 and looks to be rather simple to do over all.    So re-createing this for the top of the tree has become my personal endeavor for the year.  I am adding small gold beads to the skirt and will to the yoke as as well, when I finally get to it.  It’s coming along nicely and I’m looking forward to having the angel back atop the tree this year!
