Tatting Tea Tuesday April 6, 2010

Todays Tatting Tea Tuesday is ehhhhh a day full of stuff, both good and bad I guess...

The bad first, MY ADHD CHILD, stealing and of course lying again, I actually started to believe him last night but I should have known not to believe him, Grrrrrr! That had me in an upset kind of mood most of the day!

I nearly forgot it was Tatting Tea Tuesday and I had a special plan for today, see my sister, hmmmm how to describe her I dont know, I dont want to sound mean but she is always on a pity me kick, and poor me etc... I am sure you know what I mean, my poor mother has to put up with her and other things at the house, I know she is going crazy, my sister dosent want to stick to any hobbies or anything, so on Easter I pretty much told her she was being taught tatting and that was all there was to it, she showed up today which is a miracle all in itself, and she is being taught needle first then shuttle the way I learned and the way I am teaching my daughter. She did pretty well and i gave her homework for next Tuesday to have atleast 2 motifs done correctly... I really really hope she sticks with it and gives my poor mom a break from her attitude and stuff. No pictures this time I was just so glad she did it and seemed to enjoy it.

Its supposed to be spring here in Pennsylvania but it feels more like mid July its HOT I hate the heat and this is making me really irritable. So today I got smart and put on the fan right away and it isnt too bad here in my corner but still kind of stuffy...

I did end up taking some pictures this morning we had a thunderstorm with rain this morning it was weird I hate thunder so you can imagine I wasnt to happy. After the kids went to school I walked around a bit in between sprinkles and sunshine and took a few nice springy shots.

And this is the boss supervising my shuttle work making sure I have the required amount of stitching in place... And yes when I tat she is usually standing on my shoulder like that or laying on top of the chair. What a silly little dog she is but I love her...
