37!

 It has been an unbelievably busy and exciting week... too much to blog about... but one of the most wonderful parts of this past week was the after-school tatting class today. Why? There were 37 students in attendance! We met for about an hour and had more fun than should be allowed. I meant to take a picture, but the time flew by and kids were headed for softball practice or home before I had time to remember my camera.

I did get pictures of tatting throughout the week, though.

 As you can see, the kids have been very busy tatting!

And what have I been up to?


I finally finished round 2 of Marilee Rockley's "Arches" doily tonight! I looks like it needs a little blocking, but I'm too tired for that tonight. I think I'll take the Scarlett O'Hara attitude and think about it tomorrow... "After all tomorrow is another day!"

Good night, all!

    Fantastic turnout! It takes real interest to keep a child after school by choice.

    Amazing work with the kudos! You must be so proud of their progress. It is fun to see how they have grown into "real" tatters.

    Nice work in red. Very pretty.
