At last!

I've finally found some time to tat!

The beginning of this school year has been unusually busy. My schedule changed three or four times, and I've had to adjust my yearly library/computer goals because of the number of times classes will meet. Just about the time I thought I had everything straight in my mind (and my plan book), our building principal would apologetically tell me that she needed to make another change. It looks like everything's on track now, so hopefully I'll be able to develop a routine that allows more tatting time!

I picked up my shuttles and my blue doily yesterday, and I was able to complete another round today... only three more to go!


I'm really enjoying having a large project to work on. There's something very relaxing about finishing a section of each round in between other activities. However, I am feeling a very strong urge to tat snowflakes!

I'm going to try and be good and finish this doily before starting another project. Or maybe I should finish one of the three hankies I'm working on, or the beaded bag, or the star afghan, or... oh, dear! It looks like I've bitten off more than I can chew again! : )

    This blue doily is spectacular. I think it is in our creative nature to work on several projects at one time. As "they" say, so many crafts...so little time. Safe and relaxing Labor Holiday weekend to you dear...

    You've done a lovely job on the doily. Glad to hear you have had a bit of time for the shuttles! They do keep one sane, don't they?

    I love the blue doily - you are making nice progress!

    I hate it when I get too many projects going - it's a bit overwhelming. But it's hard to stay on just one piece without some little doo-dads in between. Maybe that's my problem - too many doo-dads . . .

    Your doily is looking so fine! I look forward to seeing the finished piece. I like to have a variety of different things to work on, too. So glad you've found some tatting time.

    It's looking great! I used to be able to work on multiple projects at once, and read multiple books at once, but lately I'm finding I really have to focus on just one tatting project and one book at a time.

    I am really impressed! Maybe one day I will try something like this--if I ever get more patience along the way :).
