Patience

 

All it took was a bit of patience. This morning, I finally managed to open up the ring that I joined in the wrong place weeks ago. It's time to make tatting part of my daily routine again!

After spending time with my tatting, Dave and I put away lots of Christmas decorations. We still have quite a bit to do, but soon our house will be back to normal.

Part of my morning routine this past week has been to crank out three gnomes. I then assemble them in the evening while Dave and I watch television. I've lost count of how many I've made since Christmas, but the numbers don't really matter to me. I'm just having fun!

I'm also enjoying cranking out ornament covers. I've been looking at ideas for embellishment online. I haven't seen anything that inspires me yet. I guess I'll just have to keep looking!

Friends

Dave and I went to visit some friends today. We truly enjoy each other's company, and we always share a delicious meal. Yes, I am stuffed!

Even though we were gone for over six hours today, I still managed to get in some pretty good crafting time. I cranked out six more ornament covers today. They're quick and easy to do, and I'll have plenty of time to embellish them before next Christmas.

One hedgehog and three gnomes were added to my stash today. I even found time to work on my latest cowl. 

Tomorrow, I really need to fix that tatted bookmark that's been lingering in my tatting basket. Once I fix my mistake, I know I'll be able to get back into my tatting groove!
