Tatted Hearts & A Bling Ring

It's wonderful to get some tatting done. These are two tatted heart patterns that I adore and so I tatted them for two blogging friends, for our exchanges.





The first tatted heart (left) is a pattern by Ruth Perry, entitled Yellow Heart. The smaller heart is a pattern by Birgit Phelps named Sweetheart. I find them really sweet and absolutely love to tat them. The hearts were tatted in Milford #40 variegated pink/white.

In the last couple of weekends, I did some lessons with a lady who's very talented at beading. She taught me to wrap beads around a carbochon using peyote stitches. Something very interesting and a little challenging for me but this is the result of those sessions. I'm totally blown away by the outcome (and no, the image below doesn't do it justice!).

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. XOXO

My Angel and Secret Santa Exchange

My angel has arrived!

I tatted the angel's wings like those of a butterfly's, just off the top of my head. The angel's head is a 6mm round Swarovski crystal. The skirt's a Swaroski too, but I have no idea of the size... :p It's a fun little "adventure". A few days ago, I saw Aileen's (aka WickedTat) little angels and was inspired to make my own.

Yesterday I received the Secret Santa exchange organised @InTatters from one of my 2 partners. I got so excited that I opened the parcel right there and then! Enclosed was a whole lot of goodies... My favourite item: the tatted snowflakes, of course! Ok, the Secret Santa didn't write her name on the package but I managed to guess through the return addie. :D Thank you, Nancy (aka Lalou)!

God bless y'all.


After post: Checked out the crystal for the skirt—it's a 9x8mm teardrop-like swarovski. If anyone's interested in the wing pattern, let me know. I'll try and get it down on paper. LOL
