Tatting & Smiley Faces Update
Posted By margaret on 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!
Your tatting is lovely! I like the colors you picked. Also, the more you tat, the more uniform your picots will be. Thanks for including a link back to the pattern for me.
LOVE the smiley face.
Thanks for your support with the tatting, but I really need to work on the picots. They look as if they will all be the same size and bingo they aren’t!
Well done with the tatting – now for the beads!! I LURVE using beads in my tatting.
That smiley face is absolutely adorable! This is one of the reasons why I love blogging; we all get to share those special little things that make life a little brighter with each other! I have to say I don’t buy that syrup, but the next time I’m at someone’s house that has it I will mention the smiley to them and see what they say, LOL!
Your tatting looks very nice! I always love to visit blog posts with tatting in them!
