I did!! - buy Tina that is, but before I had a chance to read past the first Forward my house guest, Yvonne Scheele-Kirkhof, bought it from me to save her the hassle of trying to buy it from the Netherlands when she got home. I am waiting for a joint order from the two lace guild I am a member of to be sent in. Last time I heard the number to be ordered was up to 11, not counting the other 4 bought at convention. I think the RML are on to a winner with Tina. Helen wrote to tell me about the piece in Tina and I did go and look at the website that Caroline mentioned. I guess a lot of my work could be considered as "mixed lace" as I do Milanese with tape lace techniques, or even think up solutions of my own for the problems I find myself in when designing. I am currently working on lots of lace pictures of rocking horses which I am framing for sale at upcoming craft events. Just simple tape designs with blue or pink gimps but today I finished my seventh and decided to adjust the pattern to make a Darla Horse, minus the rocker part, of course, that might sell in the Rockford area as I am told the area had a lot of Swedish settlers living there. I am even thinking of adding antlers and doing it in brown for Christmas sales. <g> Makes a change from knitting scarves which we are also doing to raise funds for convention.
