heart's desire


Thanks to Kim Millar easy to follow pattern, I managed to finish this heart within 2 days!

At the moment, I am still not sure whether I should make it into a pendant or just leave it as is. Background is a folkart painting done years ago.

This heart was tatted using DMC size 20 thread.

Dollie


I have decided to complete the unfinished tatting I did sometime ago. It is now a dollie.
This pattern was a free pattern by Iris Niebach. However I made a mistake at the Josephine Knot part and ended up having to tat another 8 to make it into an oval dollie.


Celtic Knot Earrings




These earring were tatted from a pattern book by Rozella F Linden entitled "Celtic Tatting Knots & Patterns. It took me quite a while to understand the weaving part but once I got the hand of it, it is easy. Within 2 days I managed to tat 3 pairs of earrings. My only headache is ending them neatly as I don't enjoy sewing in the ends. They are tatted using DMC Cebelia size 20.
