nuntium centesimim undetricesimum (129th post) Angeline's book

Here is the little motif I made from Angeline Cricelow's book which Fox has so generously been sharing with the tatting community.

motif #14 unknown colorway, size 80

Fun book, fun tat!

nuntium centesimum decimum quintum (115th post) happy and sad

I love getting mail, always have.  One of the more dreary things as an adult is getting all that other stuff in the mail. On the other hands there are wonderful things like this which balance the whole works!
I'm the lucky keeper of Angeline's book for the next few weeks.  Krystle sent along some of her gorgeous HDT and the loveliest motif was included too.

Then the sad-- well, it's not too sad really.  About two weeks ago, we took all of the 7th graders to northern Minnesota for a 3-day friendship retreat.  It's a lot of work but so rewarding and fun too.  This year's kids are really outstanding and made the whole thing even better than usual.  But on Valentine's day I was walking to the dining hall for our evening program and fell on the ice.  Fell hard and so fast.  Truly I did not know what was happening until I was down.  My hand hurt a lot.  And kept hurting until Tuesday morning when it hurt so bad I was almost in tears.  Off to my doc who x-rayed it- yay!  Nothing broken.  But to help with healing (maybe a damaged tendon), I get to wear this.

For 10 days,  really nothing to whine about but there won't be tatting unless it's all chains.  The thread catches on the velcro on the thumb for rings.
Maybe I'll get entirely caught up for school- bwahahahahaa!
