The last three days, I’ve worked the 5am to 2pm shift at work. When I work this shift, I’m not very productive when I get home. Those hours drain my energy level. So, needless to say, I didn’t get much sewing or knitting done this week.
I have started another pair of socks out of this yarn, though, that I can knit on a little every evening when I’m not cat-napping in my chair.
I got two more quilt blocks done before I started my three-day stint of getting up at 3am. Aren’t they pretty?
I went shopping and found another tatting book.
There usually isn’t too many tatting books out there to find, but I discovered this one in Hancocks Fabric store. I would like to do more tatting especially lately because I’ve been teaching a couple of ladies at work how to tat. That’s getting me excited about it again.
Speaking of new books, I visited a yard sale in my neighborhood one day and found this book.
It looks brand new and I got it for $4.00! I love a bargain! It’s chocked full of pretty patterns and has a variety of ways you can use them. So, I’m getting excited about doing cross-stitch again. I’m telling you, there just isn’t enough time for all the crafting I want to do!
I’m having the kids for the weekend. What a great Mother’s Day treat! I may not have too much crafting to talk about next week, but a lot of family talk and hopefully pictures too!
