Introducing

Welcome to my blog. I am Picotsnkeys on the web. In real life, I answer to Melanie….and Mom….and Mel….and Sis….and Daughterdear. I live in California. Right now it’s sunny California. My check book would like to see the rain begin. That way I would have more resources for tatting and music!

That’s pretty much who I am.

First order of introduction past this is to explain my screen name:

“Picots” comes from the term for the small, decorative loop formed between the stitches with the thread.

“Keys” comes from the term for how Western music is organized and the little slips of ivory on a keyboard and the concept of music sounding in harmony and well, a very useful term!

I hope you enjoy following my blog. Any comments will be appreciated. I don’t spend a lot of time sitting at the computer; I’m usually at a different keyboard making music, studying scores, or tatting away.
