Now that the weather is changing my routine and chores are changing. I really have no business even looking at my crafting projects. But. I happened to come across this book in my stash, while cleaning of course.

Cro Tatting ~ Writing ~ Numbers Crunching
This morning's sunrise was nice and bright. No fog today. I woke up with no energy. How is that possible? A good night's sleep, and I just want to go back to bed. But I can't. Work must be done.

Cro-Tat ~ Set Back ~ Leaf Picking
I really attempted to do a good house cleaning yesterday, but you know how you can get side tracked? Well, I did. I happened to end up in my room, where I had just picked up the box my tatting tools are in, and decided to give this tool a try. It's a bullion hook. It's used often for what is called cro-tat or crochet tatting.

Needle Tatting
I checked the garden. It's still too wet to dig potatoes. I think I will start bringing in corn this week and drying it in the sun on good sunny days. I picked more jalapenos and hot banana peppers too.
I ended up starting the day yesterday by cleaning up my "work" area by the computer. I ended up sorting everything into piles before tackling each one. I had a "file it" pile, a "put it in a binder" pile, a "shred it" pile, a "needs paid" pile, "put it back where it belongs" pile, "ask the kids if they need it any longer" pile, and a "recipe" pile. Needless to day, a few of those piles were left for today to take care of, but things are looking much tidier.
