Winding down...

Well, at least at school. I can't believe we only have three weeks left! This week is filled with straightening shelves and reminding kids to bring their books back. Next week inventory will begin in earnest, my 31st and final inventory. I can hardly believe it!


I did take time to tat this morning. I'm enjoying using this Manuela thread. When I'm finished, I'll show this red compared to the other red I used.


Two new shuttles arrived in the mail today from Hungary. I'm a sucker for plaid and paisley! If you like these two, I saw that Banyek still has them available on Etsy.


I took my mermaid tail afghan to school today to show the kids. They loved it! Now I hope they show up the play and convince their parents to buy raffle tickets! ;-)

Last night I started the medium sized mermaid tail afghan. This one is in blues and greens. I think I'm really going to like this one!

    1. That is so true! However, since this is to benefit the Drama Club and I know I can always make another, I will give it up gladly!

      I guess I could be addicted to something much worse than collecting tatting shuttles! ;-)

    1. I believe it's ribbon, because it doesn't quite go to the edge of the shuttle. I really like it!
