A rather new start...

You know...it was a cloudy day...it must have been...and I must have been bored of all the work, and all the unread items in my Google reader that never end and all the 'nothing new'ness in the air and around me; that I found this. It was different from any piece of art or craft that I have ever done. So, I just liked it and I saved it and I thought maybe one day....you know...one of those 'maybe one days'...

well, that one day happened lot sooner that I can imagine. I thought of a pattern, designed the patches and built it..even easier that I could imagine...and now its sitting there on my wall and every time I look at it I think about how much I enjoy(ed) it and I think 'am I an artist ? you know..a real one !!' and I answer me 'Hey, why on earth does it matter? you built this, and that is all and that is all that should be about it.'

my patchwork

Hello all ! I'm back after a long time traveling and then getting back to life !
I did miss tatting a lot while I was away from it and I started my new project right after I got back :)

the pattern is called patchwork and I found it here on sue's blog.

I tried more than 10 pictures to get it right on the camera and this is as best as I could get. taking pictures of my work still remains a big challenge for me. Nevertheless, I like the pattern a lot as it is kinda square and unique.
So....I'm back to tatting again !! :)

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.

bEAUTIFUL sNOWFLKE

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 :)
