A walk in the park

I woke up bright and early this morning, so I took the opportunity to warp my new mini loom. It's so cute, and it fits on my lap!

It was such a beautiful morning, I called daughter Carol and asked her if she wanted to walk around Perry Farm with me. I realized that I haven't done much walking in the past week and a half, and I really needed the exercise. Perry Farm is about five minutes from Carol's house, so she was willing to go along. We walked for an hour, which is a lot for me. Afterwards, we had salad and iced tea for lunch, and then I headed home.

I managed to tat an Ice Drop, but then I was done for the day. I think I'll plan a shorter walk for tomorrow!

Green Coral Sea

The last time I was in Hobby Lobby, I found a ball of Lizbeth Green Coral Sea #171. This is one of my favorite colors, so I purchased it to use at the Twin City Tatters retreat.

Before leaving the retreat, I started tatting "Monica" from Tatted Bookmarks ~ cross-shaped by Lene Bjorn. I love the patterns in this book!

With the thread left on the shuttles, I tatted an Ice Drop... of course! Mom requested six Ice Drops in light colors. I think I can do that!

In exchange, I received this beautiful mini loom from Hard Maple Looms. Gene Marino made this loom to Mom's specifications. Isn't it adorable? I plan on finishing the band I'm working on, then I will warp this little beauty and go to town!
