The Scar

Ow! A sheep bit Trina’s hand as her arm dangled out the window. Her index finger was bleeding, next to her scar. She bared her teeth, growling at the herd.

The scar. She had been five and the goat she was feeding nipped her finger, thinking it a treat. Nana cleaned, bandaged and kissed it to make it better. Nana was in a nursing facility now, but Trina hadn’t visited in months.

She looked at her scar again. Taking out her phone to video the sheep, Trina smiled. Sunday I’ll visit Nana. Lots to talk about this time.

Not Miss Muffet’s Tuffet

Have I mentioned lately how much I like to take classes? I love taking classes. My latest was at Creations, a wonderful quilt fabric shop in Kerrville, Texas. I made a tuffet! There were 14 students and we all finished in plenty of time. I was fretting some on the second day of class, as I am a somewhat slow sewist. I also made lots of mistakes and had to do some tasks more than once. But I made it!

I had all my batik fabric strips cut and ready to go before the class started. Then I walked into Creations, saw their tuffet made with Australian fabrics and I knew I wanted to make one of those! And I did!

That means I still have all my batik fabrics already cut, ready to make another one, right? I’m thinking about it, yes, I am.

All 14 beautiful tuffets!

If I could have taken someone else’s tuffet home with me, it would have been the polka dot tuffet.

So fun!
