Valentine’s Day is Coming

Valentine’s Day will be here in a week and like most years I think I have to re-invent the wheel, or in this case, the heart. Sometimes I do okay, sometimes I don’t. I think I did okay this time.

I like the proportion of these hearts, which I don’t always get. These are made with only one shuttle and ball thread, simple and quick to make. Amazingly, I didn’t get overly complicated, LOL! I made these in Lizbeth # 671 Christmas Red in size 20, which makes a nice earring, but they wouldn’t have to be earrings.

Something else amazing, I have the pattern done for these already! Imagine that! I’ve added it to My Patterns page.

Speaking of patterns, I am making a few changes to the pattern page. The Keep and Share site where I have the downloads have a limit on how many downloads they allow in a day. If I want to allow more, it costs more. As I don’t charge for my patterns I don’t want to do that. I am changing which patterns can be downloaded to more recent or popular patterns. All the patterns are still available but may have to be requested by email.

I’ve been seeing a lot of tatted hearts on Facebook, Instagram, and blog posts the last week or so. Are you planning to tat hearts this year for Valentine’s Day?

  1. I just found your blog and have been enjoying it a lot. This is a great heart which I am going to try as soon as I finish this comment. I have been wanting to learn to tat for years and finally found someone to show me the basics. So being a beginner I hope I can do this sweet heart. Thanks for sharing your talents with us! PS I love the name of your blog!
