Have A Heart!

My latest attempt at needle tatting...

Heart A-Fire designed by RogerL
This is the sweetest design.  As simple as it looks, it still presents a good challenge to us newbies. As torturous as it was, I managed to learn how to join a new thread, bury the tails (sew in the ends)... not my favorite part of the process.  And I learned to put the whole thing together with a "folded join". 

I had started this yesterday, got half done and then messed up.  So I started another one this morning.  Then during breakfast, I promptly knocked over a full glass of apple juice on it and my entire tatting kit!  (Excrement!)  Everything was covered in juice, all the pockets had juice in them and anything in a bag or container had juice in it too.  I gave it all a bath... life is much better now, now that I have a tatted heart.  Awww

    It sure didn't take you long to do. I'm impressed! Life can sure give us some spills, so I guess it's better to have a tatted heart than a tattered one.

    Love the tattered heart comment, Luann. I thought the same thing. I can't believe how much progress you've made, Melissa. I guess I had better get tatting before you leave me in the dust. You have a beautiful heart (awwww).

    Great progress, Melissa! I've added your blog to my read list. I think. I'm not always as successful with the computer as I am in tatting :)
