Too tired to post again

I did it again. I waited until I was too tired to post. It's good thing that I'm not getting paid to meet deadlines!

Daughter Joanne has AT&T cell phone service, which doesn't work well at our house. She posted pictures on Friday that didn't show up until this morning!

Sewing the Ursula tentacles was quite a challenge because of the bulk and the elastic.

It really did take both of us to get the tentacles sewn on! I didn't think to take pictures yesterday, but Carol and I managed to make lace gloves (black on top, purple on the bottom) so that her arms are two of the tentacles. They look really cool! I will take pictures of Carol in her full costume. It's hard to believe that the final performance will be two weeks from today!

Sophia gets very excited when Papa gets home from work, because she gets to go outside and help him with yard work and gardening. Last night she got to ride on the lawn mower just before bedtime!

Today will be perfect weather for me, sunny with a high of 77°. The last two days have been miserable with high humidity and temps in the mid 90s... not my kind of weather! However, Sophia loved it! She spent most of the day in her puddle pool, and she didn't mind the cold water from the hose.

Yes, I did finish last week's Spinning Wheel glass mat (Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior). Have I mentioned that I love hand-dyed thread? I'm not normally a fan of pink, but I do love this Raspberry Ripple with Real Vanilla from Tatskool!

I really did try

...but I just didn't have enough time to finish my latest Spinning Wheel glass mat today.

I did finish all the laundry, and I played with the grandchildren...priorities, you know.

And then there was the afternoon...

Daughter Carol and I worked on her Ursula costume. The skirt is basically done. We still need to maker her gloves. She is going to be a wonderful sea witch!

Not much on the tatting front...

...just one more spoke on my Spinning Wheel.

However, I did manage to register for Palmetto Tat Days! I'm very excited to be able to go this year. I'm really looking forward to meeting some of my tatting friends in person!

I also managed to sort through a ton of craft supplies that were in my sun room. Some of it was junk and has been tossed. Some of it I will use, and most of it has been organized to give away. Tomorrow, Joanne and I will be able to clean the room and enjoy it for the next two weeks!
