I took on a last minute sub job today, so I didn't accomplish everything I thought I would. That's okay. I had a great time with the kids, and everyone at school makes me feel like a rock star!
After school, daughter Carol needed help finishing up two more costumes. I was glad to help, but by the time I got home and fixed dinner, I was ready to sit down and do nothing!
However, I first needed to open my mail.
The first package I opened was from Marie McCurry of West Pine Creations. Look at all the goodies... a shuttle case, a black walnut tatting shuttle, and a gorgeous pendant. I am one happy girl!
I also received this fabulous art work from Sherry Pence, who is trying to raise money for hearing aids. The last I checked, she was more than halfway to her goal. I'm glad that I was able to help in a small way.
I arrived at school early this morning (old habits die hard), so I had time to get some tatting in while waiting for students. I also had some time to tat at lunch, so I was able to get pretty far today!

Diane Dear I just cannot keep up with you and your many postings. You get more done every day than I do in a week. I love seeing your many shuttles. Your Spinning Mats are each beautiful and the colors are amazing. Whew!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Createology! You do admit to running out of steam occasionally, but then you bounce right back! And how amusing that you can tat before the students arrive! I don't even want to know how early you get there!
ReplyDeleteI am quite envious of that stunning pendant! I am in awe of Marie's talents, and she used this pendant to show us the ideas she uses to enhance old jewelry!
Exciting parcels! I love that shade of blue, really rich.
ReplyDeleteMail to enjoy!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure that pendant will get plenty of attention!!! :)
Love the glass mat!!! :)
Hope you liked your goodies and thanks again for the embellishments.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gifts and your tatted piece looks wonderful. I especially love the colour too.
