Tatting

While I waited for the mess to be over with the house, some of the ladies in Relief Society expressed an interest in learning to do tatting.  I called someone I knew who does that, but she was going to be out of town on the day we needed her skills.  So I began to wonder if I could remember how.  I used to.  I went on YouTube.  You can learn to do anything on YouTube!  Sure enough, I found video tutorials on tatting.  I remembered how, and then I even learned an easier way to do it!  Needle tatting!  It's wonderful!

I made 18 of these little babies for card club and attached them to a simple pink glittery card, and they looked fantastic. Then I made doilies and book marks and coasters. Tatting is fun and easy!  I can teach this!

Busy

I thought I was busy before. I served in the Stake Primary Presidency and had lots to keep track of.  Then the Bishop called me to be the Relief Society President. Now I know what busy means.

We added on to our house, and that has taken a lot of time, even though someone else was doing the work.

 

When the kitchen is redone you have to empty all the cupboards, find a place to put it all, then put it all back when it's done.  I spent months washing dishes in the bathtub because there was no sink in the kitchen. We had to relandscape the backyard because the construction really made a mess. Months of mess.
