When I finished reading blog posts last night, I closed my computer and went to bed. I totally forgot to post! Oh, well... I guess that means I have more to write about tonight. ;-)
Jane and Eliz asked to see some of the decorated shuttles, so here they are! I told the kids that if they brought in their undecorated shuttles, I would put the mermaid scale tape on one side. This is the only picture I've taken, but I've probably decorated nine shuttles in the past few days. I don't know how well the tape will stick, but the kids know that this is an experiment and they're excited to help out!
I managed to finish my red Manuela Spinning Wheel glass mat by Friday... whew!
Surfing the Internet is incredibly dangerous, but someone has to do it. I received an email from Handy Hands showing their newest items, and to make sure I qualified for free shipping, I ordered two thread packs. These were a necessary purchase, right?
The main reason for placing the order was to get Nina Libin's newest book. I love Nina's patterns, and come summer I plan on actually tatting some of them!
My friend Denise has been singing the praises of the Shuttle Brothers' newest book, so I went to their web site to find out about it. They indicated that they had an arrangement with DS-9 Designs, so I scooted on over to their web site to see if the book was available... and it was!
I didn't want to order just one item, so I looked at their Catchpin threads. I noticed the name Fiore and thought I'd found some Italian thread. There are only two colors available, and I was intrigued... so I ordered one of each!
Looking at the label, I thought that this might be German thread rather than Italian.

Upon further inspection, I found that the thread is actually from Slovakia. This thread purchase was meant to be. My son-in-law Jan is from Slovakia. I can't wait to try it out!
