What I learned this summer

I learned a lot this summer. 

• My energy is not unlimited, even with a boost from coffee or tea. 
• I really do know how to tat. 
• I really do know how to play the organ. 
• I need to improve both skills. 
• I also need to improve my writing skill. 

Over the last few months, I’ve been very busy using all those skills creating and supporting those who create.

I was thrilled to take a class from Martha Ess at Tat Days. I’ve enjoyed tatting her patterns for years. Here’s what we focused on in class:

I tatted this in vintage thread. I figured I’d need to learn the technique of the joins in the long picot arms. I hope to tat one in better thread next week.
