Honey

Honey was balancing on the end of the cedar chest
- on top of a stack of books,
reached out her paw
& swiped me!

She wanted attention NOW : )

nearing the end ...

NYTimes Review

I knew it would be violent
I knew it wasn't quite my regular reading

YET, so many said it was really really good
So, now I'm hooked, and have just a bit more before finishing

And, i understand, this is the first book of a trilogy.

EDITED TO ADD: Yep, finished the first book --- not sure I want to continue with the series. Too violent for me --- I think there are other novels out there that I prefer to dive into

They are here!

I was delighted to find
Clover's Butterfly Yo Yo Maker

I was in South Bend to get DH's computer bag repaired

Stopped at Erica's

and not only picked up the butterfly yo yo maker,

found the bear yo yo pattern & kit!

I picked up the
Bitty Bunny Pincushion
Bunny Hill Designs
pattern
& kit
-- mine will be a purple bitty bunny.

The store model is so cute - I hope I have enough skills to duplicate : )

What a fun place to browse & buy

Now, I need to find some spare time to play

Tatting: Rings & Picot

My DS, Nick, gave me this
plastic storage container
for my tatting 'gear'

As I was out running errands
during the week,
I picked up crochet cottons
in size 3, 10, & 20

I had some size 80 --- not sure where they came from!

These are some rings I kept
(size 3)

This afternoon, I want to try using
size 10


Oh, the picot
Mine are odd & uneven
Still need practice
Two on top, size 3
Other ring, size 10

I will continue practicing
Harder for me to control my hands
when making the rings

Still isn't quite comfortable

As for books/instructions, I'm using
and
Learn to Tat by Janette Baker

Neither are as good as sitting next to
somebody who knows how to Tat!!

But, they have been helpful while I struggle at home : )
