Tollway Tatters

We had a great Tollway Tatters meeting today. I was only able to stay with the group for about an hour, but during that time there were ten of us sharing what we were working on.

I was able to tat one ornament during our meeting.

 Then, I tatted another after I left the meeting.

I'm happy to say that I completed my goal of tatting one ornament each day in January. I'm all set for my tatted Christmas presents next December!

I used a different tatting shuttle for each piece that I tatted during January for a total of 46 shuttles! I'm going to try and keep track of the number of shuttles I use during February. Since I'm not planning on tatting an ornament each day, I'm pretty sure the number will be smaller.

The high school play this year is Bandstand, the story of some G.I.s who form a band after World War II. I'm not familiar with the musical, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

There's going to be a raffle the benefit Adopt A Soldier and Project Headspace. Daughter Carol asked if I would make a red, white, and blue tree for the raffle. I started on it today. This is the largest tree I've worked on so far, and it's going to take quite a bit of time. What I've done so far is about four hours worth of work... or should I say fun?
