A Simple Doily

To all my stitching & tatting friends, Happy International Tatting Day.

Summer Garden by CCN

Another CCN??? Hehehe....I'm loving it....Just completed another piece. Its called Summer Garden. I have stitched on a 28ct linen(hand-dyed but not by me la).


As usual, i have made some changes (not much la) in some colours so as to match with the fabric colour. Also, i have never like to stitch animals motifs on my xs. In the chart there is a cat & rabbit. So i stitched an extra plant to replace the rabbit and for the cat, i sew a charm. Just nice that i have a piece of charm called My Garden.


Thanks to all for dropping by. Happy Stitching to all my friends.

Tatting - SCMR

Yes!Yes!Yes! Mission accomplished. I can do/tat SCMR.

Last nite, with printed copies of How to make a Mock Ring (tutorial from Jon's blog. Thanks Jon, its really helpful), i finally succeeded. So for a start, i did tis pattern since it look simple. Its called Floret from Jon's Snowflakes Collection book.

The outcome is not that nice, i mean my tatting work, but I'm happy with it. I can now tat patterns that have SCMR.

But i have to further do 'autopsy' la. Cos i used 2 different colours, but the turn out was just 1 colour. Why eh? Is it bcos' no switching of shuttles? hehehe.....



Tis is the next piece that i have started. Beautiful. Will talk about it further when i have finished the whole set.

Dedicate tis piece to my dearest husband,Omar(OK) and my 3 children, Farhah(nf),Haikal(mh) & Aisyah(nai).

Thanks to all for dropping by.

Happpppy!!!!! & Sad???

What a title. hehehe....

Last week i have completed 3 pieces of tatting (2 happy & 1 sad). Really enjoy tatting lately(duh! what happen to my xs wip and my crochet blanket. Will continue again, soon).

1. Carrousel - tis pattern is from Jon's book, Tatted Snowflakes Collection. I used the thread Floretta 10 with 2 shuttles. I tat tis piece bcos i wanted to practise on my Split rings again. And Yesssss, I have managed to do the split rings without any problem. I like the colour, its really bright.


2. Clover & daisies - can't remember where i got tis pattern from. It was shown to me by Ain, when i 1st started to tat, and i told myself that i will do tis piece when i go to the next level (in other words, a bit clever la). For tis piece, i used DMC Cebelia 30, White & yellow. Nice piece.....i am really happy with myself for finishing it.


3. Hearts Entwined - tis pattern is from Jon's blog. I feel there is a mistake somewhere but i just cudn't find it. Why i felt there is a mistake bcos it looks a bit out of shape. Mayb i will re-do another piece.
To Jon, if u are reading my blog, can u see the mistake from the picture. If yes, please let me know.


I have a lot more to learn on tatting. Learning thru the cyber world is not really easy (no reality teacher to teach me). I am having problems in some techniques, and eventhough going thru' the tutorials over and over again, i still can't do it. But am not giving up easily, still trying.

Psssst! the HDT threads are really beautiful. How i wish to own some. And also the different type of shuttles. Will put in my wishlist. Who knows..........:)

Tatting - Quantiesque.

Nice piece and nice work (hehehe...). Got tis free pattern from Jon Yusoff's blog. Her tatting pieces are really beautiful. I have used the thread Floretta No.10.

It took me 3 days to complete tis piece. I tought i lost my knowledge on tatting. My fingers were all over again. And there were snip snip snip. But after awhile it was going on the right track again. Tis is also the first time for me, using 2 shuttles.

So,anyone interested to do tis piece, u can get the pattern from http://tatsaway.blogspot.com/.

Happy Tatting.
