Tuesdays With Tag - When Mom’s Away…

Well, Hello

Hi, Everybody!

Mom made it safely to her retreat, and it looks like it’s just Dad and me to wrangle all the girls ‘til she gets back. She showed Dad what she does for The Barn Girls every mornin’ and night, so they won’t starve while she’s away. He already takes stellar care of me, Boo and The Kid, so we’re good, too.  

Dad and The Girls

Mom took this real nice picture of Dad and the girls on Sunday. We’re all so happy to see the sun again, we just had to memorialize it for you.

I’m not gonna hold forth too much this week. I have so many responsibilities here that I really can’t sit around and chew the fat with you, but I promise I’ll make it up to you next week. 

I'll see you again in seven. 'til then... 

"Been There, Chewed That!"

Goldwork Floral Wreath Progress…

Goldwork Floral Wreath (So Far)

It’s always revealing when I post progress photos. The process of enlarging my images shows an occasional glitch. I’m noticing things you might not, so I’m sharing my errors as well as the things I’m doing right.

Take the smallest bud in the middle above. See those two little “antennae” stitcking up? The trimmed check purl thread isn't supposed to look like that (I don’t think). I’ll be asking Clara about that during our second and final session tonight. Otherwise, I feel like each flower or bud is an improvement in technique over the previous one. That’s a good thing.

I’ll be leaving here after lunch to drive to the retreat house at Primitive Gatherings. Dinner is at 5 pm, so I’ll be able to attend my Zoom class with Clara at 6 (central time).

Tag will pop in tomorrow, so I’ll have lots of photos and retreat fun to share on Wednesday. Please show my boy a little love in my absence.
