Stars started shining almost immediately after I had posted about Manju Talekar's E15 Leafy Star here - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2025/10/leaf-to-star-spinoff.html. It is my fault that I couldn't blog about the new entrants sooner. So let's go chronologically (all from Nov 2025) ....
Stephanie Wilson
It was such a pleasant surprise to find this beauty waiting for me in my email inbox! Here's what she said -
I couldn't resist. This is size 40 Lizbeth thread, yellow ombre to suggest 'twinkling,' although that's probably a very BIG stretch of the imagination. I left out the decorative picots for a smoother look....more like a star, to me, at least.
For a Christmas ornament, it would probably be better to tat in size 20 thread.
Pop Maria Lenuta
And this one twinkled in my blog feed! Read what Maria writes in her blogpost -

You can imagine my excitement when these emerged in my blog feed! Read what Jane has to say in her blog - https://janemactats.blogspot.com/2025/11/seeing-stars.html
And they only multiplied!!! Here's what Jane posted - https://janemactats.blogspot.com/2025/11/still-tatting.html
And the stars are finally settled in their very own milky way!https://janemactats.blogspot.com/2025/11/one-done.html
Katie Verna
Are you wondering whether the star is partially hidden behind some clouds? Here's what Katie writes - My little version of the Leafy Star--ran out of the red thread, so thought to add green at the bottom to make it like a flower, but it looks more like a demon or fierce animal with a beard! Fun little piece to tat!
I suggested adding a few whiskers to bring out the animal better :-D
Padma Mandayam
Padma was so inspired by Katie's version that she worked her own star, too, in variegated thread. Clearly the pattern lends itself to variegated shades as well.
Elzusia
Elzusia did not exactly tat the star but she showed us her collection of fall leaves one of which is the E15 Leaf Doodle that inspired the star. Check out her blog post here -https://mojeroznerobotki.blogspot.com/2025/11/jesienne-liscie.html Is it any wonder I am seeing stars (of the brilliant, optimistic, happy kind) everywhere?!
Thank you all so very much for your wonderful 'gift' of Endrucksian tatting
ps: I want to apologise for not responding to every comment left in my blog over the past several weeks and for not leaving a comment in other blogs. I do read all comments and blog posts, but due to a large amount of time already spent in front of the screen deep in other commitments, I am taking a bit of break where and when possible. It is also the reason why I am not blogging as frequently as I'd like or want to. Thank you for your patience and support - always treasured 💕💕💕
