lace project
Following all the storms, I got out my new lace scissors and cut away the fabric [without messing up the net below + put it in a small frame.
Easier to see in this Post. Glad to have it finished.

New Pin!
My new pin arrived. Isn't it pretty? I like the new logo -- Also, a new web site for I.O.L.I. link HERE.
I also ordered the stickers. They are larger than I thought they would be - but really nice!
Yesterday, DS + co-worker made loaves of bread. Ahhhh ... the whole house smelled heavenly. So delicious:

Saturday ...
Up with the sunrise to get ready and drive to Lafayette, Indiana
for the Lafayette Lacemakers meeting.
Following a 30 min meeting, Anne Reaves presented Carrickmacross. She brought in some books, photographs, and some of her lovely projects. Following an introduction to the lace, she passed around a pattern and kit. What a delight! A holiday pattern - perhaps an ornament
or place in small frame. Well, maybe after another try.
Carrickmacross,
applique on net.
And, do you notice it is FINISHED. FINISHED?
Kind of - need to get up some nerve to cut away more of the Swiss Organdie.
Carrickmacross scissors look like this:
I could use a pair - when using scissors with points on each end of the blade,
I fear cutting thru the net.
Thank You Anne!!!

Repurposed
At the local doll show, I purchased
doll dresses made from vintage handkerchiefs.
I think they are so pretty, embellished with tatting.
They are perfect for Penny Wooden Dolls.
