But I have already made Miss Channers mat and DH realises that even if I was
going to make another
I must already have the bobbins, there are so many around the house.
On the other hand if I sneak in the extra one or two He will never be able
to tell!
But to me the bobbins are like looking at a diary of my life
My first lace day...
A birthday present from my aunt...
A lace course...
A holiday in Devon...
The first bobbin my husband brought for me...
A Wedding present...
A gift from a secret pal in Aus...
They all give me such pleasure and so many wonderful memories
Of course you can never have enough.
Thank you everyone for all the ideas for the 50th anniversary. I will do
something in lace but what ...
Today I will just think about it. It is too hot to do any thing else.
