Does anybody know the name of this movie. It sounds like a movie I would like to
watch. I like Katheryn Hepburn and I like movies of history like the period of Mary

I finally made my website and got it to the right place! It's mostly
tatting, with a little bit of bobbin lace.

Guys,
Somewhere in the move my lace scissors have gone west - they are the type

Does anyone know where I can get a pair in the UK either by mail or from a

According to Anna Crutchley, in The Tassels Book, passementerie is the
making of tassels and trimmings. She says it is a hybrid craft. It employs the
talents of the cordspinner, weaver and tassel maker, each of whom works to a
