I’ve also been working on diagramming the heart bookmark. It’s coming along very well. I’m at the really hard part of it – adding the stitch counts and notations for ring directions and such. I’ve never thought so much about the placement of such notations before! It’s a bit more complicated than Elcie was.
For Tatting Tea Tuesday I had a glass of iced Peppermint tea as the temperatures have decided to be summer-like, as in, hot! It was okay, but not as good as it is hot. Of course it might have something to do with me cutting down on my sugar. I’ve gotten used to hot tea with less sugar but iced tea should have lots! No, I’m not from the south and here in Kansas the restaurants have just recently started advertising they have sweet tea. But I grew up with it. My dad and his family always drank sweet tea and that’s what I expect. Trying to cut back on sugar doesn’t mean I don’t add sugar, just a lot less. I’ll see if I can keep it up.
“Do you really think God wants us to live a vanilla-bland life when He’s made a thirty-one flavors world? God wants us to color our world with rainbow colors and Willy Wonka flavors. Sure, playing it safe can make things easier (and duller), but branching out – even a little – can make life fuller (and more fun).” Rachel St. John-Gilbert
What a fascinating design! I like both variations. Can't wait to see these finished up. Congratulations.
I really like this design and you can do a lot with it besides just bookmarks.
We always sweetened our tea, but I've never liked it too sweet. Some people think mine is unsweetened, but it's not. It's perfect for me!
It's very hot and muggy here today – a complete turnaround from yesterday.
Your design is so pretty! I'm still not sure what program people use though to help out. My drawings always end up disproportionate haha.
WOW! Your drawing is superlative. Beautiful designs.
I am envious as I cannot seem to buckle down and draw on the programme. I get all antsy and frustrated within seconds!
It just is not for everyone, I suppose. * sigh*
I am filled with admiration as I admire your work!

What a lovely design, I think it will work up very well,

Your work with the design program is really outstanding and the lace (both designs) sublime! My heart skips a beat and my fingers reach out to touch the lace, it is so pretty. Love the graceful lines. Go, Wanda, go!
Neat design! It looks very pretty! 🙂
You are off to a good start. Well done! The bookmark is looking good.
From experience, I usually make three or four re-tats before I am satisfied with a new design that I am trying out. For each re-tat, there will be small changes that I make, usually to the size of the ring or the length of the chain but seldom to the basic design itself.
