Tatting & Smiley Faces Update
margaret | March 16, 2010
Now, don’t look too closely, but I think I’m on the right track with the tatting. At least I can make it work without knotting the thread!
I never knew anything about a chain and only worked with the rounds when I tatted years ago, but I’m really enjoying working on this edging. I picked up the pattern from http://www.be-stitched.com/. My next experiment is with beads. There is also a pretty edging made with beads on the same website.
And an update on the smiley faces. After I had posted some of the smiley faces I found within objects, low and belold…hubby opened the new bottle of Hungry Jack syrup and look what was staring him in the face!
I sent an email to the folks making Hungry Jack (Smuckers) to ask if they made the smiley face to brighten our mornings, because when you open the lid it does put a smile on your face. I just received an answer that it was designed that way to control the flow of the syrup and to minimize mess. No mention of the smile, but you just can’t miss it! By the way, I love their peanut butter!
