The shop seems to be on a small roll as I got another order yesterday. This just makes a queue of things needing remaking that much longer. I still have to school the children today, guest or not and I will still have to get to some of this tatting as well. Speaking of tatting, I do have one tatting story that my grandpa told me. He rode some commuter train into Salt Lake City while working at a library there recently and a lady who was one of the regulars tatted on the train. He said that as the other regulars got interested in what she was doing, she actually started teaching classes on the train. So, I don't know who you are, Utah train tatter, but well done. I find that someone is always fascinated when I tat in public. I am not often out to do that though.
So today I will try to make a dent in that queue and this evening we have another get together planned with more of the family. Luckily the house is already clean because I'm not sure I have anymore cleaning energy left in my at all.
sounds like a nice visit and always have to work the home schooling in too. It's great you can organize your time and do all you do it's inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYour Grandpa's story of the lady teaching tatting on the train brought back memories for me. Back in the late 80's that happened to me. I was tatting an edging for a christening dress, and a lady asked me what I was doing and I taught her to tat over several weeks on our 40min train trip every morning and we did this for about a year. It was great to tat with another person. Thank you for the memory restoration.
