My first own designed tatted bracelet... it's finally done!

It's done! I completed my first tatted bracelet - pattern all by myself!!!
I know... matching earrings are still missing, but I'm working on them!

I couldn't imagine how rewarding is to see something you realized from A to Z... So happy today!

Well, I don't want to be boring with all my excitement, maybe to me it's wonderful but nothing special for anybody else!

But, as you can see, I also enjoyed making picture to post!!!




Anyway, while working at the earrings, I need to find a name for it, any suggestion?

I still have to find my way to draw the diagram... I received some really worthing advices from more experienced tatters, but I still didn't find enough time to try!

I'm working on something else as well, I'm preparing something for my first giveaway!!! So stay up to date, it will be coming soon (if I find out the technical way to run it)!

Last tuesday of the month... come join us on Mel's blog hop!

One more tatted animal... a big butterfly!

Almost 40°... way too hot for tatting, don't you think?
And even for blogging... the computer releases heat as well...

So the only thing I have ready is this butterfly I tatted from Inga Madsen book "Tatted Animals", in Lizbeth solid colors n#20, very easy and relaxing pattern!

It will be part of the blanket I'm preparing for my baby, together with the Robin and the two small butterflies I've posted last month.

More tatting when the heat goes down a bit...

Some steps forward on my first design

Still working on my first design... this weekend has been a beautiful one with all the family to the seaside, that means beach, sun, sea, ice creams and barbecue... but only little bit of time left for tatting and therefore testing my design! But I'll show you that little bit of progress I made on the bracelet:

Here there's the first two motifs in Lizbeth #20 Ecru with wood beads of 8mm... and this has been the issue: the pattern would work better with smaller beads, I guess 6mm should be fine.

But in my mind I had seen this pattern tatted in ecru thread and wood beads, and I only had home 8mm beads.. so to fit them I changed a little bit the stitch counting.

By the way, the pattern is customizable depending on the bead size you use, just need a change in number of ds in the chain over the bead. In the paper design the chain had 4 picots indeed... here in the picture you can see there are 6!


What do you think about it? I'd love to hear you sincere opinion!

Hope I'll be able to show it completed, and maybe even in some other colors and beads size!
Please be patient :)

It's Tuesday again: Join us on Mel's Blog Hop!

Dolphins' family completed!

I don't have really much to show... except for the dolphins' family completed!

Now the group of three is ready to be sewn on baby sheets... I think I will add some embroidered waves and some water squirts! 

Concerning threads, the darkest one is in Lizbeth #20, while the two lighter ones are in MFM #20, Italian "Cordonetto" thread. I can say I really enjoyed tatting with this new thread, it's a little bit less twisted than lizbeth but not enough to affect the tatting joy! So, for italian tatters, if you find it buy it, I'll always be in love with Lizbeth but this is a good alternative and a big saving!

Jane Eborall's Dolphin Free Pattern

And now... my hands are finally free to work on my first jewelry pattern! Can't stay with you one minute more... I need to start the stitch count checking!

Have a nice crafting day!
