Hi Firends,
It feels so good to be back here and writing a new post.
Its been three months in Toronto now and really feels like yesterday that I was unpacking our bags. Time is just fleeting... I've been quite busy with a school going husband(yes you read it right ;-) ) and trying to learn new things. I've recently joined many groups on FB where extremely talented people have been posting their work. I had been wanting to try my hand at tatting, but lack of time in Bangalore never allowed me to experiment. But I guess this was the right time for tatting and little bit of macrame too :-)
A few motifs and bracelets I tatted :-) You can find their tutorials on youtube. As a beginner I found the instructions very easy to follow.
I made this black bracelet for a cute little girl in the neighbourhood on her birthday :-)
I added some charms to make it more girlie :-) Isn't it cute ? And it even matched the birthday girl's dress :-)
Another in progress :-) Which of these do you like the most ?
Now coming to the macrame bracelet I made a few days back. Its the simplest one in macrame I guess. I followed a tutorial I found on youtube.
The two strands can be pulled to adjust the size of the bracelet. Black thread and wooden beads make a perfect combination for me :-)
Diwali in Toronto was not a regular evening as we had been to a Diwali party. It was fun get together.
I made this as a part of Diwali CAL(Crochet Along) on a FB group.
Hope you had a safe and fun filled Diwali too! :-)
Waiting for comments and suggestions from all my readers.
Till I post again!
Love,
Ranjitha

A better look at the lotus diya holder :-)
The pattern to this is available HERE.
Hope you had a safe and fun filled Diwali too! :-)

Hi, Ranjitha!
ReplyDeleteHappy Dwiali! :)
Your tatting is absolutely amazing! I loved all the bracelets, and you really do it so neatly! I tried tatting some time ago, but it didn't come to me... may be I shall try more :) Your diya is wonderful! Actually it can be used for Christmas and New Year decor too. Have a lovely weekend! Hugs, Anna.
Thank you very much Anna, Try needle tatting the next time. It is a lot easier than the shuttle tatting(atleast for me) I'm planning to make another in Christmas colours :-)
DeleteAll the tatted pieces are beautiful. Have a wonderful crafty time.
