Mother"s Day Heart

When i saw tis pattern at Jon's blog, i told myself, can i or can't i tat tis piece. Why???? Becoz' I have always make a point to read & study the instructions first before i decide to tat anything. So after reading, the 3 setbacks that i have is the Shoe Lace trick, making a daisy picot ring and tatting with beads. Never done before. So i decide not to use beads but just do picots. (Phew! luckily i omit the beads, my fingers & threads were all over when doing the daisy picots. Hehehe....)

So, as usual, notes spread out, i give it a try. So here is the end result. I manage to do the daisy picot ring, after a few times of snip, snip, snip. Its still not that pretty but OK la, for 1st timer. The long picots seem to be twisted eventhough i have iron it. But the Shoe Lace trick, I'm not so sure. Tried to read the SLT instruction over & over again, but i seem not able to understand. So I hope that what i did is correct.


Psst: The heart looks better with beads. Must try it someday.

Your heart is lovely.

The shoe Lace Trick is easy.

Have you ever tied your shoes?

You know that first knot you tie before you make the bow?

That's the SLT! That's it! It's really easy.

Hope that helps.
