| Snowflake by Lena Bjorn |
I’ve been so tempted to sit and tat snowflakes during Bach
Fest this year! You see, they have presented all 6 parts of J. S. Bach’s
Christmas Oratorio. That’s about 9 hours of music if you played a CD without
stopping. There have been quizzical comments along the lines of what are they
thinking? Christmas???
Most sacred musicians just smile. We have to choose music
well ahead of time. If we choose something that requires parts to be ordered,
or even written, we must give ourselves plenty of lead time. Some musicians
even have to raise the money with special offerings before they can realize
their planned Christmas celebrations.
Most tatters are constantly thinking Christmas, or at least
cold and snowflakes. Tatting a snowflake takes hours. If you want to decorate
for Christmas with snowflakes, you better start tatting in July!
Since I’ve not started my snowflakes yet, I guess I’ll be coming up with other ideas for Christmas this year!
