Today did not go as I had planned, but that's okay. Dave is on vacation this week, and flexibility is a must!
I managed to talk to my mom and three of my four daughters today. As I talked, I did a little cleaning up around the house... not too much. I wouldn't want anyone to accuse me of being Suzy Homemaker!
About the only thing I truly accomplished this morning was to gather together the items I want to take with me to Tatting Corner Tat Days this weekend.
Daughter Carol is going to be in a play this summer, Rock of Ages. She's going to make her own costume, and she asked me to go fabric shopping with her. Carol is my daughter who refuses to be "drawn to the dark side" of crafting. Still, she realized a few years ago that sewing costumes can be a big money saver. We went out to lunch, and then I headed home.
It was a bit warm today, but Dave had a pretty big to-do list, so I worked outside with him for as long as I could stand it. The big task for the afternoon was to wash both of our cars. I don't remember it taking so long when I was in high school. Either I'm slowing down, or I'm doing a better job than I did back then!
There was no time for tatting until after dinner.
I've got a good start on the Peacock Ice Drop that I'm test tatting for Wally Sosa. The pattern will be in her ebook that will be available the end of this week, Itty Bitty Zoo. Luckily, I'm not the only test tatter, and I know this one has been done already, so I don't need to worry that I'm holding up anything!

Perhaps your car has gotten larger, LOL ?
ReplyDeleteA peacock ice drop sounds good! Eager to see it take shape
Now that you mention it, my car is a bit larger than the one I had way back then!
DeleteI did smile about the dangers of being labeled Suzy Homemaker.
ReplyDeleteAs long as my house is clean enough to be healthy, I don't mind that it's messy enough that it looks lived in!
DeleteLooks like you are off to a good start on your peacock!! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, they will have to label you Diane Homemaker cuz' you are not Suzy!! ;)
Hahaha! If you ever come to my home, you will see that neither name would fit! ;-)
