I've been distracted by life lately and haven't felt the need to pour over the internet and Live Journal. Amazing.
I've been working on lace. I have a progressive teaching book and when I worked the lace before, about nine years ago, I had reached lesson nine. I'm going through them from one again, quickly, to refresh my memory. It makes me so happy to work on my lace. I have ideas, people. I want to make a big lace pillow and work lace with enough netting to make a skirt, and use it to make fully hand-made lace over-dresses.
Oh, and I've started updating my doll journal again,
purpledolls.
I hoarded, I mean, collected a LOT of lace books back in the day, and it's nice to see that they aren't available any more, which means my hoarding was reasonable. I'm very happy with my books. Hardly regret a single purchase of ANY of my vast craft book collection.
