Holy smokes! Has it really been over a month since my last post?
It would be great if my absence were due to a mad rush of tatting on a big project. Sadly, that is not the case. I have been working on freelance writing/editing projects for the Alaska Neurology Center.
Actually my first project was marketing related (something I have NO previous experience in) -- I drafted up a logo design concept for their Sleep Disorder and Treatment Center. They wanted something unique and I suppose turning to a non-Marketing type is one way to do it!
Here is an early prototype of the design concept I submitted. It changed a bit in subsequent revisions so I don't feel like I am revealing secrets by showing you.
Since that project wrapped up, I have been writing about a new MRI scanner (the GE Discovery MR750w 3.0T, if anyone is interested). Preparing copy for their website and brochures. Today I hope to receive the next topic -- perhaps the services they provide for Multiple Sclerosis patients.
All in all interesting work. And it is work I am glad to have. Especially since the contract was supposed to expire on September 30 and they have asked me continue on into October.
I miss you all, but will be back once the freelance work is ended. I AM reading all the tatting blogs and have been greatly enjoying all your posts. Keep 'em coming. Big hugs to everyone!
An American Box Turtle paid a visit this morning. My two hounds went crazy!
Yesterday I spotted my first Woolly Bear Caterpillar of 2013. He was just a little guy, only about half as long as I usually see such "worms."

Do Woolly Bear Caterpillars Forecast Winter Weather? (Source: almanac.com)
According to legend, the wider that middle brown section is (i.e., the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. Conversely, a narrow brown band is said to predict a harsh winter.
