Tatted Heart

I tried doing a simple tatted heart for my second project -- used a finer thread with this one -- definitely trickier, but not too bad. It really is symmetrical - just didn't quite lay it out properly for the photo. (-;

Lace Book Worm

How do you like my little book worm? I made it in class the other day at Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilter's meeting. I made a mistake that I won't point out (if you can't see it, it's not there!) -- besides, it just gives him character and keeps me humble!

Bobbin Lace

After my first lesson in bobbin lace, I bought some books to try to learn a little on my own. This is my second bobbin lace project. It wasn't too hard.

Tatting - my first project

Here's the first real project I've ever done in tatting. I think I'm finally catching on to this. (-;

My New Etsy Shop!

I have opened a new Etsy shop where I sell lace, trims, small hand dyed pieces of silk/rayon velvet, books, and sewing patterns. Eventually I will put on some vintage cards and such. I hope you will visit my shop and often! Here is the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/EmbellishmentBliss

Bobbin Lace

I went to the Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilting Meeting today and tried Bobbin Lace making for the first time. Linda and Mary were great teachers, and although the lace I made is very rudimentary and humble, I had a wonderful time making it and look forward to trying more! There are 3 different "stitches" in my bookmark - I'm not sure they're called stitches. I ordered some beginning bobbin lace books tonight!
