Valentine's Day Is coming up!

Well I've never ever had a Valentine card or present from what I can remember.  I may have when I was a heck of a sight younger but I think I'd have remembered!!!

I was fiddling around a week or two back looking through my stash of doodads.  I felt an urge to make new earrings even though I’ve got quite a collection of them!!!  I found these little heart shaped doodads so decided to play around with them.  This is what ‘happened’.  

Constant wet weather has kept me in and walks would’ve become paddles if I’d tried to get out and about.  My umbrella is grumbling about doing ‘overtime without pay’!!!

Finally managed it!!!

What, you may well ask!!!  I’ve finally uploaded one of the patterns I taught at Tat Days (Palmetto’s wonderful event) back in 2024.  If you look under ‘Motifs’ it’s the This Way and That Way Motif.  You’ll see that I’ve split up the original page that had motifs, snowflakes and ‘something else’ into three separate pages.  I hope it’ll be easier to find things.

It must be about eighteen months since I last uploaded anything on the site and, to be totally honest, I’d almost forgotten how!!!

I pay for the site and I like to get my money’s worth out of it so I started a week or so ago trying to re-learn how to do it.  First of all I use SeaMonkey to make the html page for the index.  That’s the first page you come to.  That’s not easy at all when you’ve got a geriatric computer and a brain like a leaky bucket.  I’ve now decided CATEGORICALLY that I’m truly OLD.  People tell me I should slow down but nobody’s told me how to!!!

I’m still working on the site but hope to get it finished soon.  I’ve managed to lose the ‘search’ facility and I am struggling to work out how to put it back!!!  I’ll have to leave it until another day as I’m totally flummoxed!!!

For those who don’t know where to find the site - Here it is!!!

How to display your shuttles

When I moved into my new place I decided not to put my nice and important shuttles in to the printer’s tray I’d had for years.  Mainly because they kept falling out and I wasn’t prepared to stick them in place in case I damaged them.

I pondered for several months on what to do with them and in the end ‘scrounged’ a rod from my friend Tim and he helped me put it up.  I love the way I can see them all (well, I think I’ve got more but haven’t located them yet) and that I can easily rearrange them if I want to.
