My friend, who is an artist, made me a lacemaker's cottage; rather a room in
a lacemaker's cottage. It has furniture and a tiny bolster pillow on a
stand. She made the bobbins by cutting the bristles from one of those
hairburshes with plastic bristles. They're just the right size; the knob on
the end of the plastic bristles as the head of the bobbin. She wound fine
wire on the distal body of the bobbin and continued the wire with tiny seed
beads to have Midland bobbins! Perfect. She even made molded tea cakes and
has a tea service on the sideboard! I love it and really should take it to
a lace day.....
Happy Lacemaking,

Carve your bobbins from toothpicks or wooden matches (unless
