tea tatting tuesday!

hi all!

i finally participated in Tea Tatting Tuesday... although the tea was first thing in the morning, and the tatting was in the afternoon, i finally got them both in on a Tuesday!

Start Here to find the trick we've been discussing on HBT...

i know i didn't invent this trick. other than that i can't for the life of me remember what it's called!

maybe, if no-one can remember, i could get to name it! it would be like naming a new species!!

how about... budded rings... or yeast rings... hmmm... maybe not.

"We have created Sock Summit World Headquarters, and now that we're all here, we're even sleeping in it. It's like a great big slumber party only with more office supplies than is normal or probably healthy."

Looney Labs to the rescue!

my mom has a perfume allergy. and many more things than you would think can cause her to get the sniffles, or (if applied topically) cause her skin to break out in a rash. i personally don't like the smell of perfumes, because we weren't exposed to them growing up. sometimes it can be hard to avoid perfumes, especially if the people providing us services feel like drenching themselves in the stuff.

enter Looney Labs. Kristen Looney (iirc) also has an allergy to perfumes, to the point where they can give her migraines. to avoid hurting people's feelings too badly, they developed these cards, to be handed out when standing and explaining the problem would just exacerbate it. i got my mom a set of these, and she found yet another use for them.

at bloodmobile last week (which is at our church, so we fill volunteer positions), she affixed the card to her name tag, since we already noticed one of the collection staff was going to be a problem. it worked!

thanks Looneys!
