Irene and Stay-at-Home Spiders, I am presently working flat-out on a garter for our daughter, who is getting married on October 15th - which seems a long time away, but we are going on holiday for five weeks on the 17th August, and so it needs to be done and dusted before I go! I feel heartily sorry for the lace-makers of olden times who made lace as a full-time job - I am even getting a sort of callous on the finger of my right hand ...
I also have a decorative mat on the go on a large pillow, a gaudy-in-the-extreme clown picture in the making for my second grandson, a 'princess' for the four-year-old grand-daughter who is in training to become a princess herself, a bookmark for my Mum who sadly told the Ladies Guild at church that she hadn't had a bookmark from me (despite having lots of other things, no bookmark!) one of the 'egg' designs from the German book, and an extremely wide edging for my daughter-in-law's father's deacon's robes ... I think that is all! But they have all come to a halt until the garter is finished, and here I am on the computer instead of slaving away ... Carol - in Suffolk UK - where it is gloomy and grey, but not much actual rain today.
