I just had to share this cuteness from Sapling. On Oct. 29, 2014, he gives a presentation in front of his class on a saint, St. Anthony of Padua (1195 - 1231). (Remember, he's in 2nd grade.)
This photo was taken last evening after I had finished sewing his robe and hood. We are working on "accessorizing" his costume today instead of tatting.
UPDATE: Sapling scored 76 out of 85 points on his Saint Anthony of Padua presentation. That's 89.4%. His costume earned 5:5 points (pats on back for mom) and he earned 45:50 on his poster. His oral presentation was rated 26:30. Well done, Sapling!
Anyone wish to take a stab at a fractured song lyric with me? I have the tune to the Disney song from Mulan, "I'll Make a Man Out of You," stuck in my head....how about: I'll Make a Monk Out of You?
Maybe I should stick to Knot-Tea fun.
Our new pet, a sweet little female hedgehog named Miss Elsa Prickles, is growing bigger and cuter by the day. Here she is exploring an empty lemonade container.
Look how cute she is, fresh from her bath.
My naughty dog Ginger is contemplating jumping into the hedgehog playpen. She looks like a dangerous predator, either a fox or a jackal, to Elsa.
Life is bustling at Silly Hat Central and I am not getting as much time to tat as I would like, but that's the good thing about tatting, you can pick it up for 5 minutes and put it down.
As for Tatting Tea Tuesday, I am sipping a lovely fig-infused cuppa while I type. I have had Fig-related things on my mind and even e-mailed Yarnplayer to ask if she could dye me a custom colorway. Oooh! Let's hope she can.

Can you believe I finally learned how to make Cluny leaves? Hanging Clunies too. This is just a snippet I tatted to empty shuttles in preparation for an experiment -- tatting Pumpkins on a Vine by Heidi Sunday with Clunies. I hope to have something to show you next week.
