Time Off - At Last!

I've had a lovely week - I've been on vacation!  It's really been a stay-cation - we've just lounged around the house.  I've been busy, though - I worked on my application to teach at Tat Days and finalized the last few patterns!

I'll offer seven patterns to the Tat Days Committee - there is a new angel this year, and a couple of projects which use doodads.  I've enjoyed working up the models, and will email the completed application and patterns in the next few hours - please wish me luck!

I've also had some time to play - I've started Jon Yusoff's Merriment Doily.  I think it's going to need major blocking when it's done.  It's all curly!  I'm contemplating starting a second project; something small enough to complete fairly quickly (they give you such a sense of accomplishment).  I'm thinking maybe a bookmark - what say you?

I made an attempt at tidying up my tatting supplies - I got several new totes at bargain prices and used some of them to corral the various boxes and bags I have for tatting.  One of my favorites, the good old plastic pencil box, I found at Big Lots for 88c some time before Tat Days last year - and bought several.  The tote holds six with ease, and room for other things as well.  It stayed tidy for several hours - at least until my granddaughter visited!  Oh, well - no big deal in the scheme of things.  Everything's back in place now!
