I'm combining it again

First off, I did get the mistake corrected. I’m still getting back to that point as I tat. I just haven’t been tatting much lately. Why? Well, I’ve been having fun with Orgelkids at the Pedals, Pipes and Pizza that our San Jose Chapter of the AGO put on last Saturday. There’s also been lots to do around the house with the “upgrade” project coming to a finish. And then there’s another Atmospheric River coming in tomorrow. I took the time yesterday to make sure wind and rain will do less damage. No, we don’t have to barricade with plywood, nor do we have to sandbag or move things to high ground. It didn’t really take that much time, just added to the long list of chores I seem to face lately. But, if my efforts at my house can make sure personnel are available to help others, I’ll put that effort in.

Monday, I spent some time with a lovely group of stitchers. I’ve learned so much about the historical use of fibers, how to work with different threads, and whether my idea might just work or be pleasing to others. This time around, we looked at Assisi embroidery. Being rooted in the use of negative space, I was inspired and rejuvenated. We were encouraged to stitch a small sample. This is what I chose.

Of course, I was imagining all kinds of ways to combine it with tatting! I can already see in my mind the edging I wish to tat for it!!

But first, I really must sit down and make sure I’m making time for what’s important. Just after I take a walk by the ocean before the rain starts!
