Cheryl has been busy doing Christmas presents. For those of you who don’t know her, she taught herself how to tat. It’s a form of lace-making and it can be quite tricky. There was a pattern for a tatted cross that took her about a dozen tries to finish. And no, she’s not going to be making another any time soon. Mind you, now that she’s managed to figure out the intricacies of the pattern, the second one would probably be a little easier to do.
She’s also doing some research for her mid-grade/young adult novel. She says she didn’t do well in chemistry in high school, but she’s learning about it now. And biology. And how water treatment plants work. And about chop shops. And a few other things that she hasn’t quite got worked out yet. But she will, now that she’s not arguing with a tatting shuttle.
