Finished Another Project!!!

I finished the little faces which will be zipper pulls for children's clothes (and mine!) last night. The one on the left and the one in the middle are a pattern which needs SCMR and a split chain. The difference between these two are the size of the ears. The third face is a completely different pattern.
Funnily this wasn't easy to design as a lot of detail had to be put into a small space and they had to be dense enough for the piece to stand up to small fingers constantly pulling at them. Now to finish off the text (adding abbreviations etc) and to submit it to the new Welsh newsletter. Do hope they like it.

Tying up Loose Ends

Well, you do when you're tatting, don't you?!?!?
I managed to resolve one of my zipper pulls yesterday evening and will certainly get the other versions done this evening. They can then go to the group I've sort of promised them to for consideration for their newsletter. I also made a pair of giraffes to send to a friend but they've worked out too big for earrings - I'll do some smaller ones by jiggling with the stitch count. I don't have any finer thread in black and I don't think they would make good earrings in a finer thread!!!
Third thing - another heart. Realised that the ones I'd made were now sewn onto tshirts so I didn't have any for my sample book! Duh, am I stupid, or what?
