bEAUTIFUL sNOWFLKE

While I was browsing the web for some interesting patterns a few weeks ago I found some very beautiful snowflakes here at Laura's tatting muse.
I fell in love with them and I decided to tat them. :) Here is the my version of one of the snowflakes :
I wanna tat the other two as well. I will share some photos when they are ready :)

Bermuda makes a perfect chrismas gift !

I have a book full of tatting patterns which I have bought ages ago when I was in my home country. The patterns don't have much description and I usually get into trouble tatting them. This time I jot got inspired by one of the motifs and tried to design my own! Guess what..Bermuda was born ! :)
Then I tried it on a pink slippers and I loved the outcome :) I think it really makes a perfect gift for Christmas !

I have put the pattern here for those interested in making it. It took me a long time to draw the pattern and yet it could have been smoother. I am not sure whats the best way to draw my patterns. How do you draw your tatting patterns ? Is there a software you use ? Leave me a comment and help me out please !
