Here are the bobbins from Christmas time, finally spangled and ready to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first pair are handmade, with a beaded ring, next are the 10th anniversary Gumnut bobbins, next, my Christmas gift to me from Acorn Bobbins and the final 3 pairs are the last of my bobbin of the month plain bone bobbins from Acorn Bobbins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my latest project, coming along very nicely. The bobbins are all my beginners, some painted, some stained, some with thread wrapping and some are left plain. the thread is 60/2 linen with a splash of 40/2 linen colour and the pattern is from Torchon Lace by Else Marie Bjerregaard. It will be a house warming gift for Colin's son and daughter in law when finished.</div>

Last night I finally got my tatting box out and sorted through the knots, threads, bits of tatting and jumble of shuttles. I think it is time to get a couple of PHDs out and start tatting again!</div>

With all our spare time, and a little healing, the creativity has finally visited our house again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Colin has become well enough to play in the shed for a couple of hours at a time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although things that used to be second nature are now a big struggle, he has managed to construct this "surprise" plant Ferris Wheel for our garden from some of the 'junk' in our back yard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really does look even better in real life, and I will always treasure it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVj_dZ58arIz8UfesRSBG_bdkePICVB1CwD0j304Ez1tizBfRVNgWl0n57m_PYuYO9J6TwnHNnjSrwdrEXArp_yAA2bLMe_7s7sZPi4FsFD37HNkx-4FRQtuIJtqC-5eOcSDybDiS8rU/s1600/CAM00020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVj_dZ58arIz8UfesRSBG_bdkePICVB1CwD0j304Ez1tizBfRVNgWl0n57m_PYuYO9J6TwnHNnjSrwdrEXArp_yAA2bLMe_7s7sZPi4FsFD37HNkx-4FRQtuIJtqC-5eOcSDybDiS8rU/s1600/CAM00020.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, the garden is really looking a treat, despite the weeds trying to take over!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPzLZVJhv5wwVdg-Z0Usx54mV9Ib_dlQlJjFwDlgSUTBgU9kyGH4rFriFo5_7yiYqaLhu7lqGEpZCsDip_MwU9-4rO_CLeHIr-GOtmWxuFYiKCuHjotgxIhOtHz0XlMM2W1glkzxCIAnE/s1600/CAM00021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPzLZVJhv5wwVdg-Z0Usx54mV9Ib_dlQlJjFwDlgSUTBgU9kyGH4rFriFo5_7yiYqaLhu7lqGEpZCsDip_MwU9-4rO_CLeHIr-GOtmWxuFYiKCuHjotgxIhOtHz0XlMM2W1glkzxCIAnE/s1600/CAM00021.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And while Colin has been working, I have too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After my stint on the lathe making bobbins, I have finally ordered my own kiln to anneal my beads. It will be here around Christmas time and I cannot wait.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has inspired me to play at the torch once again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my new marver, I am really happy with the more consistent sizing of the divider pin heads and I have actually enjoyed making several 'batches' of similar beads...there are 11 dot beads not pictured here from my work this afternoon, as well as the lovely lilac frit beads top left in this photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the 'new' snails, inspired by the prep work on the hedgehogs the day before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not often a new idea works so well the first time, so I am delighted.</div>

I have wanted to make an all lace shawl for such a long time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is finally started!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made the bobbins and most of the beads! The glass divider pins are also my own work :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even spun the wool from an old Corriedale fleece!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The shawl will be made in 3 or 4 panels, and the 1st is now under way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will source the pattern for you next time I post about this one...Colin is sleeping and I don't want to move and wake him :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
While working this section, I realised that the only bobbins I had never used in my collection are now in use!! Yay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a pair of rather heavy brass bobbins, (the one with the coloured thread) that I am alternating with the new thread. They have always been too heavy to play with the other bobbins, so I had avoided them. For this project, they work rather well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also a single aluminium bobbin on the left hand side that had not been on a pillow at my place. Several friends swear by them, but I find it cold to the touch, and had always passed it over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also in this shot (just) is the pair of bobbins with a pink ceramic joiner, a gift from a Gumnut. The bobbins arrived broken from their journey, so I repaired them with the ceramic glue used to put final details on my dolls. They are working perfectly and remind me of my Australian friends each time they pass my fingers.</div>

And here is a new batch of beads ready for the kiln. Dear Step Son is visiting today and will take them to Burnie for me. I hope to make the trip with Colin in a couple of weeks time to collect them...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pin toppers (ladybirds, flowers, turtles and hedgehogs and the cotton reel were all made before Colin collapsed. the rest have been made this week to fill the tin.</div>

First of all, here is the next lace for a porcelain doll...slow progress, but a little every now and then...have to find/design another piece to complete the doll, so still a long way to go before a doll will be seen. This is Bucks Point in Finca 80...wide design by Heather Billington, narrow one from Pamela Notingham's Intro to Bucks book I think.</div>

Here is the 2nd piece from the workshop I was participating in when Colin collapsed. I completed the 1st repeat at the workshop and most of the rest of this one was done at Colin's hospital bedside during his 2nd stay in Hobart. The thread is Lizbeth 80...have no idea why I would buy this colour in the first place, but love it in this piece. The designer is Ethel Zuccolotto.</div>

And the news- Sadly, Colin's cancer has returned so posts will probably be very few and far between for a while. The treatment is almost over, but the prognosis is not all that great...we are clinging to hope and prayers.</div>

But first, let's take a peek at what is happening in the shed! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what Colin has been playing with over the past few months :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This machine does not like straight driving and I must admit, it is a lot of fun...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally sorted my new 4 jaw chuck, upped the revs on my lathe (although still a ways to go according to the bobbin experts) and had a play today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the wood is Blackwood...lovely and dark! The smallish blanks were given to me a couple of years ago, but the first piece just turned away to nothing, so I put the rest away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are traveller sized bobbins and will look great on my travel pillow...another pair to make, then I can get on with some requests!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I have also been busy with the beads!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of these ones are spoken for, and I still have 1 more request to play with...it is in the too hard basket at the moment, but over the weekend, I will give it 1 more try!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once they are fired, some of these beads will become divider pins, some will adorn key rings and a few may even wind up as spangles!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ok, ok....here is the promised lace :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern was published a few years ago in Australian Lace...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The yarn is Misty Alpaca...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lace was started by a retired lace maker, and I "inherited" it at the weekend...it is making some good progress, but I really need to get back to the 'other' piece!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Doll number 4 is making progress. All I need to do is add some lace to tidy up the shoulder then she will be ready to fire :) Working in the heat yesterday was not much fun, so I hope she fires ok. I did not make the lace for this one...but I am working on the lace for 1 down the track...</div>

My gorgeous grandson starts big school this week. Last week, we went shopping for his little brother's birthday and discovered that drink spiders are very yummy, and he is the perfect gentleman (only when he goes out with grandma though! This pirate is his home id LOL).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His mum asked about a library bag, and when I told her I had bought some fabric ages ago, I was asked to make a library bag :) The back is the same as the edge fabric! Hope he likes it LOL</div>

Finally, we have been discussing bobbins on the Australian Email ring I am a member of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise some pics, so here they are...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are all my own bobbins, spangled with my own beads. There is Huon pine, Blackwood, Jarrah, Tas Hardwood and Silky oak. My first bobbin (and bead) is the Huon pine bobbin 7th from the right on the bottom row...the yellow bead was the first bead I made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some more of my own bobbins, but they do not have my beads on them as yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colin made me the very top left bobbin...it is the only bobbin he has made, and calls it a cricket bat. I made the one on the right to go with it and the pair make the best ever gimp bobbins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are my bead tile bobbins. The top 4 bobbins were made by David Potter, a Tasmanian bobbin maker. I made the bottom 4 bobbins. The very top pair have the first tiles I made with the teacher.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I designed the other sets of tiles.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the other tiles, ready for the bobbins...when I get around to making/purchasing them...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The teacher provided the patterns for the top row and the pair on the right of the 2nd row. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest are my designs...including the special ones to celebrate my engagement in February last year :)</div>

The lace is made from the handspun I showed in an earlier post. <br />The little Honiton bee was made by Jacqui of Larkholme Lace in the U.K.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The necklace was made by a friend from our local craft group.</div>

Well day 2 of the next stage anyhow...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having spent 12 months making the lace as can be seen in earlier blogs, 3 meters has been attained and the work begins...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Day 1 was spent cleaning up the seam lines, adding the breather holes and generally preparing the skirt mould. This one is a little different to the first, and I found it a little tricky to attach the lace, particularly the 'petticoat' layer of narrow lace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the pirouette!</div>

I have put a makeup applicator next to the doll here to give some indication to her size...she will shrink to about 1/3 once she has had the 2 hot fires. The sponge is used to pounce the wet porcelain into the lace.</div>

Finally for today...I love the colours of Autumn...this pic was taken in the park near the Tamar Yacht Basin at Royal Park. This is a popular place for locals and tourists alike with a 10 km boardwalk from here on the eastern bank to another popular park on the western bank. There are several branches off the walk into the Gorge and city center and is popular also with the dog owners and sporties with playing fields and parklands and foodies with restaurants and bars in the precinct.</div>

She will be fired today, and <i> </i>I can bring her home next week...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I must admit if 'first times' all come up like this, there would be even more crafts in my box!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been playing with more cross stitch of an evening...trying to clear my box full of kits, bought many years ago, before lace!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one was a 2 part deal, but I have no intention of doing the second one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I can find someone who would like to work it :)</div>

I could not believe how long it took to add these small amounts of paint...back to the kiln, then the finishing touches...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...highlight the lips, finish the fingernails and eyes and tone the hair...I honestly do NOT spend this much time tizzing me ...Maybe that is the problem?!?!?LOL</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At around 4.30 pm on WEDNESDAY afternoon, we had a mother of all hail storms across Launceston. Colin was lucky...the storm hit while he was shopping, but he did have to drive home in the aftermath!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture was taken outside one of our stops at 8.30 AM THURSDAY morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The garden in the side street looked gorgeous - as if it had been snowing - but I did not take a photo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the garden in the area where we worked looked appealing, but alas, I did not take a photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we were leaving, we spied this scene...I had to take a photo! Note the garden edge too...It has NOT snowed in Launceston for at least 30 years, so this really is a rare sight. Besides, our 'snow season' (in the nearby mountains) is usually August/September!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I am working on a quick little project for our State Lace Guild AGM...the committee has challenged members to make a flower for a display - we are hoping there will be some "spares" to share with past members, giving everyone a pretty, lasting reminder of the event.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally made a start on mine...Miss Sox is overseeing the project!</div>

A friend is getting married at the end of the month, so I thought I had better get busy, besides, what better excuse to play with some wire!!</div>
<div align="center">
The pattern is from Christine Springett's Lace for Children of All Ages.</div>
<div align="center">
All that is left now is to 'doll it up' with some flowers, so I will share again soon.</div>

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!!</div>

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...</div>
