Too busy to blog... again!

Blogging really doesn't take that much time, but for the past few days I've felt too busy to blog. We had cleanup from the dinner theater, typical for this time of year. I've been subbing quite a bit, and I have my regular part-time job of lunch supervision. I'm reading a murder mystery called The Trouble with Tulip by Mindy Starns Clark. Of course there are all the normal household chores, but none of these things have kept me from blogging for long. Maybe I'm just getting lazy! ;-)

Another Dorset button and Dorset button ornament are my biggest achievements of the week. I love this blue/green perle cotton!

While subbing on Monday, I managed to tat two button ornaments.

I guess I should really start calling these donut ornaments!

On Tuesday, I experimented with air dry clay and my Springerle rolling pins and molds. They're still not completely dry. When they are, I will take them to school for students and staff members to decorate. Then they will be offered for sale at Christmas in the Village as a fund raiser for the drama club.

I subbed again yesterday and managed to tat two ornaments at school. I finished a third one last night. 

I'm keeping busy!

Three more

 

Mom and I had a busy day, so I only had time to tat three more donuts.

We went to JoAnn Fabrics to get supplies for a sewing kit for my brother. Last night he asked Mom to teach him how to sew. What fun!

Of course we took time out for lunch. Then we headed home for nap time! After a short snooze, I spent the afternoon tatting. 

I still have some Red Burst thread left. Tomorrow I will need to decide if I should move on to a different color or continue with a different pattern. Decisions, decisions!

Another donut day

Tatting with donuts is so much fun!

Not only do I have donuts that I've purchased this year, I also have found some that I purchased a long time ago.

Some are plastic, while others are metal.

Some are smooth, and others are textured.

Some are round with perfectly centered holes, and some are slightly wonky. I love them all!

Reading day

 

Today was another reading day. I couldn't help myself. Last week I binge watched season 7 of Bosch, and then I decided to look up information on the book series. I tried, unsuccessfully, to download a sample copy of The Black Echo to my Kindle. The paperback copy was cheaper than the Kindle version, so I went ahead and ordered it. I'm glad I did! I'm already halfway through the book. I'm not sure that I'll read all 22 books in the series, but I am enjoying the first one!

I did take time to tat two donut ornaments today.

I think tomorrow may be a button day!
