 Hello, everyone!
You know what I'm doing today? I am getting a tattoo! I swore I never would and then I turned 65 and figured what the heck. Lorna, Elanor and I had planned to get tattoos at the same time but... Covid. So I'm on my own today but that's OK.
I have always loved this design and my tattoo artist says she can replicate or come close to it. I will show you mine once it heals :-).

Today, 8/11/2021,at 2PM CDT, watch to learn the secrets of seam rippers.
