Done And Done

Ah, the other side of the weekend and it was a long one. I finished up my pile of tatting on Friday and jumped right into a quick custom order. It was a bride who wanted a pair of barefoot sandals embellished and I got to praise the power of quilting thread yet again. I was on such a roll after my big project that they worked up in a blink of an eye. I should have gotten better pictures after I pressed them, but they're packed up now. Of course then minor tragedy struck...I injured my left index finger. A small split began forming on the ridges and I kept hitting it with my needle. This caused it to rip further and eventually it became red and angry and I was forced to admit it needed bandaging. Unfortunately a bandage make tatting cumbersome so after a few attempts at remaking some things, I stopped. With a half dozen things left to remake, I just stopped. Weird, right?

Let's see, what else? I had a fabulous time out with the family on Saturday and with friends that night. If you've been reading my blather for a while, you know that I have been lacking in physical friends that I am not related to, so connecting with people we should have been friends with a long time ago is quite pleasant. It's almost as if I'm starting to live a more well rounded life. Now if only I could stop boring people with the tatting talk, we'd be great.

This week my Grandfather will be down visiting, so I've got some cleaning to finish up and will likely be distracted by the visit much of the week. Honestly though, he's quite an unimposing guest, I just feel guilty for not being a more attentive host. I suppose I'm not a horrible host unless you want a lot of attention and activities and then I am absolutely at the bottom. Well off to it then and hopefully I can mange some tatting and not re-injure by poor finger.
