Shamrock Earrings-With a rant
My mother continuously begs for just about everything I ever make. Every time she comes over and sees my tatting or me tatting it's always "Where's mine" ?- it drives me nuts! I have missed out on selling items, displaying items, gifts etc because of her greed plus the fact that I have been out of commission for a time and now back tatting again, only has brought back her demand for me to tat for her alone. Even gifts I have received from people I have taught to tat, she wants them too!!
I have tried to tell her no and all I get is an everlasting guilt trip!
Nevertheless, now she wanted shamrock earrings (whine, whine, whine) I told her, I was working on a birthday gift and I couldn't promise I would drop my current project for her items (again with the guilt!) she kept hounding me! I finally had to send my hubby across town with her to get her out of my hair. While then peacefully working on another shamrock that I thought had too much work for her to deserve it for all her demands and whining, I conjured up this little pattern that is quick and easy to make.
I know that there are dozens of shamrock patterns out there, so if I may have inadvertently made it too much like another's, it was completely unintentional.
This was however inspired by dimpled rings (don't know who created them, but want to aknowledge the artist who did)
