Changing the subject to something more pleasant, what are you doing this season in regards to "Holiday" lace.  Being politically correct there, but "Holiday" covers all the celebrations.  Last night I posted my design on the Bobbin Lace Makers Facebook page but if you do not subscribe to that one, you can see the pattern on my website at http://www.jblace.com/ I made a triptych piece of lace to go around a candle.  I had intended to make two of them for my Arachne exchange but while making the first one I decided it was way too much work, so I scaled down to separate designs from the triptych.  It is on the Patterns page. I found the ideal led silver candle which shows all the lace, rather than the white one I was going to use. Currently I am working on a collar from a French book which is similar to working Binche, in that I have to count pairs on each section of cloth stitch to make sure I have the correct numbers for the next area. The workers exchange with passives. Giving me a hard time but I like a challenge. Happy Holidays,JaniceÂ
 Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, where we have our own wild fire today, about 4 miles away. The Santa Anna winds are really bad which is making it spread, but I have faith in our firemen and the two huge airplanes that are making lots of retardant drops. Maybe I will sleep in my clothes tonight. :-) jblace.com - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
