My Heart's Desire

After my failure which you can see in my previous post I was determined to get it right !! and finally my heart's desire is fullfilled ;)

It is a very pretty pattern and so much fun to tat cause after you finish half of it you will have to repeat whatever you did BUT in the reverse order ! give it a try :)

I have just realize http://www.georgiaseitz.com/ is an online tatting class which i can receive tatting lessons by mail !! wow its amazing I didn't know it. is anyone out there member of this group ?

and my broken heart...

The story of my broken heart started with me seeing this pretty tatting and falling in love with it. So I found the pattern here and chose a new thread which I have not tatted anything with yet; and the excitement began....

BUT


not soon enough I realized I have gone wrong :( Now I am left with a broken heart.

I cant mend this broken heart but I will make a new one soon. :)

tatted necklace

I finally finished a necklace I have started long time ago. I really liked it but cause I had to repeat the same pattern over and over I quickly got bored and put it aside. Today, finally I am done ! :) It sits beautifully on the neck and the pattern is so easy. everything is 3 double stitches apart.

Spring Doily ~ 2

I have been up to tatting a very pretty doily pretty from Vinnie's tattings.  I actually saw the pattern at TATSKOOL first. I fell in love with all those amazing colors she has used. Oh and I was puzzled as where to start and how should I continue which the instructions and numbers on TATSKOOL walked me through it successfully :) here is my version in Vineyard Harvest Lizabeth thread. 

I am thinking of starching my tatting. I still have to do some research on how to do it and what to use for the starch.

Thank you all for you beautiful comments and encouragements.

I have been working on yet another snowflake from Laura's tatting muse.

 I spent a lot of time taking many pictures but in the end I still can not figure out how to take a neat picture in which all stitches are vividly visible! I see very beautiful and clear pictures of all your tattings and I would be very thankful if you could teach me the trick :)

Over all I'm happy with the results and I am yet up to another motif ! so stay tuned and update me with your beautiful tattings :)

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 !
