Posts made in November, 2013
November have flown by so quickly. I can not believe there is only 2 weeks left of school before my kids go on summer vacation. Lots still to do and so little time!

I am relearning how to shuttle tat using Marilee Rockley’s Craftsy online shuttle tatting class and the YouTube videos by Karen Cabrera on her Entre Lanzaderas blog. Here are some of my attempts :).
