Put them together, add some bits and bobs and you get this.


Ok...so there is still some work to do...

Hello Friends

I can't believe my last post was in January and now it is March!?!?
Where has this year gone already???

 These 2 pics are of my silk scarf...a gift for my soon to be sister-in-law. 
The pattern is from Neue Kloppelideen Fur Torchonspitzen...
now 5 reapeats down (2 repeats shown here), only 9 or so to go :)
 These fillet lace mats were worked by a friend.  We intended to travel to the National AGM week together until Colin's health scare.  Sue still went and had the best time.  Now she has finished her 2 pieces of fillet lace, she is gearing up to go to this year's AGM too!!
 In all the excitement this past 8 months, I forgot that Gracie would need a lacey bonnet.  2 weeks before the Christening, the penny dropped.  This pretty but plain edging is from Lace For Ten Pairs.  It made it to the christening on time, but unfortunately there is no photo of the finished bonnet because Gracie did not wear it on the day...


 Finally, I only have 2 inches of lace to make for the doll...I have previously posted about the lace...
It is time to make the practice doll, so at the end of lesson 1...
 And lesson 2...
It will be a few weeks before I can return, but I am really looking forward to the next lesson...final layer of skirt, prepare the bodice and head, then into the kiln she will go!!

It is going to be a year to remember...We are finally getting married in September YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
(So please forgive my posting tardiness...I will try my best to drop by at every opportunity as I love seeing what my blogging friends are up to too)

hugs, health and happiness to you...
