I forgot to blog yesterday! I didn't really have anything to post. Daughter Carol and I went shopping for goodies to make up raffle baskets for the play this weekend. The directors and alumni are performing Rock of Ages. I'm not at all familiar with this musical, so it will be a complete surprise for me. They're trying to raise money for new stage curtains. I hope they're able to reach their goal!
I received a lovely surprise in the mail, an Ice Drop tatted by Mandy Kerwell-Bez, an Ice Drop Addict from France! She also sent me two rivolis so that I can tat my own. I've ordered a pretty silver neck chain to wear with it. I am thrilled to pieces! Thank you, Mandy!
I also received two new shuttles from Middy Clark of TheKnotted Vine. I adore these little shuttles! I love tatting with the teardrop shaped shuttles, and the red shuttle looked like something Mom would love... her favorite color is red!
Speaking of Mom, she loved the penny I tatted in the lighter green and asked if I could tat one in a darker green. Anything for Mom! The pattern is Shelley Perreault's Peacock Coins. I'll be adding a pin back to this at Mom's request. It does look pretty!
One of the chickens laid an egg today! It's not as large as it appears in the picture... camera angles and curled fingers can be deceiving. Dave found an egg over the weekend, but the chicken must have been in the rafters when she laid it. This is the first one found in a nesting box. I may grow to like these chickens after all! ;-)
