What a day!

... a great day! I made a special arrangement with the third grade teachers. On Wednesday, Mrs. S's class has library 20 minutes after their lunch time. On Thursday, Miss N's class has library. These two lovely teachers have agreed to allow the kids who are tatting to stay in the library for that extra 20 minutes. Isn't that great?


Paige has been working hard on Fancy Pants. Today I showed her how to make picots, and that's what she'll be working on tonight.


Dylan came up with her own pattern of chains and picots. Now she's ready for rings!

I finished Mom's dark green Spinning Wheel today. I'll try and remember to take it with me so that I can get it off in the mail tomorrow. I do love this pattern!


There was a wonderful surprise in the mail today, not for me, for the kids. Sarah read about my "Future Tatters of America" (her words), and decided to send along motifs for the kids to choose from. They will be so excited! Thank you, Sarah!

  5. Shame on me for falling so far behind in your posts. I adore how the children are tatting so well. They are really taking to it like snowmen to snow! How sweet of your gifters to send samples for the children. Diane your scarf is beautiful. Love the spinning wheel doily in green. Hope your weather settles down. Terrific Tatting Bliss...
