Time flies!

I've really let the last couple of days get away from me, and I don't mind a bit! I've canned tomatoes, baked cookies, made soup, and I subbed for the first time... yes, I subbed for a half day... in kindergarten. I've worked with kindergarteners for years, but only in 40 minute time slots. Let me tell you, 3 1/2 hours with 17 kindergarteners is a lot of fun, but terribly exhausting. I was so tired, I fell asleep in my chair by 6:30. Will I do it again? Absolutely!


I forgot to post a picture of my August tatting, so here it is.


And for my first September Spinning Wheel, I finished this little beauty in the Japanese size 80. I really am enjoying working with size 80.

I've started getting ready for Palmetto Tat Days. I am so excited to be going this year! I guess I'd better do some meal planning for Dave, otherwise I'm pretty sure he'll feed himself cereal, canned corn, canned soup, and canned stew... yuck!

    I agree - size 80 is very rewarding. Now, after tatting for so Renulek-long in Perle #8, which is really lovely this time around, I wonder how long it will take me to adjust back to the skinny stuff!

    How exciting that you'll be going to Palmetto! That's a real bonus of being retired.
