Application for Shuttlebirds Tatting Workshop and Retreat is in

I’ve stepped off the edge AGAIN!

I turned in my application to teach at Shuttlebirds in Idaho next May. That will make the spring very busy. What have I committed to?

Singing/playing during Lent (Holy week in 2020 is April 5-11)

Teaching at the Lace Museum in Sunnyvale (April 18-19, 2020)

Walking 5K in the Big Sur Marathon (April 26, 2020)

With the Workshop/Retreat in Idaho (April 30-May 3, 2020), that will make those weeks quite a flurry of activity! Truth be told, I just couldn’t resist a Carnival!

So, if you want to get away right after Easter for an in depth weekend looking at Sonata, contact Kim at the Museum.

If you want to walk or run along the edge of the Pacific, register now!

If my application is chosen, I’d be pleased to meet up in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest for a tatting party. Just bookmark here and watch for registration to open.

Grab those shuttles and join in the fun! Mmmmm maybe I should have something on the shuttles I can tat while walking in April………

It needs more

I’ve finished the current bookmark. I started this several weeks ago at the beginning of Lent. Now that this part is done, I’m thinking I need to add something around the edge. Since its Holy Week, it needs to be in white. But what??????mmmmmmm

"squares" bookmark

Ash Wednesday thoughts

I completely missed that yesterday was Mardi Gras…until I set things down to cook dinner and turned on the radio for some noise……..

And I’ve way too much to do to attend the service when it is offered at St. Andrew’s. Well, this isn’t the first time, and won’t be the last time, that this organist has found herself taking spiritual time outside the schedule of the community I call my church home. Thank heaven, literally, that my faith allows and encourages personal faith activities along with the communal faith activities.

So, what’s taking up my time? Oh, just preparation for teaching tatting, preparations for playing a service, household cleaning, shopping for food, getting designs down on paper and into the computer, testing design ideas with shuttles, and attending a tutorial on a design I wish to master, finishing off projects so that I can start in on the TAT samples.

May your Lenten journey nourish and refresh your soul as we await the Easter glory.
