Sunshine: A Needle Tatting Pattern

I wanted to make something that reminded me of the sun. Summer has closed and fall is here. Why not have a piece of sunshine you can take anywhere. The pattern is a very simple motif I came up with while doodling with my needle and thread. Maybe I'll come up with a moon pattern to match.

Great ideas for them!!! I might make a few for my tree this year. I need to see if i have variegated red-orange thread. Needle tatting is fun! I learned from Totusmel and Penolopy here on Instructables. They have some great projects snowflakes, spiders, necklaces, bracelets and even masks..

That's really pretty. I've never done needle tatting before--I thought that was crochet--really, really neat crochet. I love the stone inside. You could hang it in a window, or on a Christmas tree!

Beautiful! If I wasn't so busy getting my embroidry piece done, I would make one with shuttles. I have the yellow thread. What I am really itching to do is some candlewicking. So many choices so little time.
