I'm not saying we're snowed in, because it isn't snowing... that was yesterday! Dave went out and ran the snowblower this morning so that I could get out and go to church, but within 20 minutes we couldn't see the path. So, I'm playing it safe and staying home.
Yesterday was a wonderful day! Tollway Tatters met... Sue Anna, Marilee, Barbara, Alison, and me. Not everyone could attend, but it was a nice restful time to get together. I'm always pleased to spend time with my tatting friends, even if we have to cut the time short as we did yesterday. We met at 10, and by 11:30 it was snowing. We usually stay until 2, 3, or even 4 o'clock, but yesterday we decided it would be wiser to leave around 1. The roads were nasty down by my house, so I'm glad we headed home early. I think this was the first time that not one of us remembered to take pictures of the group!
Have you seen Marilee's new book? I've been waiting for the hard copy, have to have that autographed you know, but I now have the digital version, a gift from Sue Anna. Thank you, Sue Anna! The designs are fabulous!
Sue Anna and I participated in a little retail therapy...
Between the two of us, we managed to deplete Marilee's inventory of Snowflake HDT, sizes 10, 20, 40, and 80. I love this color combination! Sue Anna also gave me a flat shuttle made by "'im in the garage" and sold by Jane Eborall. I love flat shuttles, and there's nothing like the feel of wood!
As promised, I have not been tatting much this week, and as a result, my elbow is feeling much better. I'm going to take it very slowly for the next couple of weeks to make sure it is completely healed. Can you guess what pattern this is? Mom asked for it in dark green, and I just happened to have some on hand.
The blinged shuttle was decorated by a former student of mine. I now have her children in school. How can that be possible? Anyway, Rachel does amazing things with acrylic nail polish, and she truly surprised me with this example of her work! It makes my bling efforts look really primitive. Will that stop me? Of course not!
