Surprise

Surprises in the mail today.  Well, I knew the bobbins were en route but I had forgotten.  Memory is good, just very short.  Which kind of explains the magazine.  There is such a long lead time that by the time the magazine actually comes out I have forgotten I wrote the article.  
So, receiving both of these things in the mail today was a pleasant surprise.  
Thr bobbins are for bobbin lace and my friends who make them. Will soon be retiring.  Not that I don’t have oodles of bobbins!   But it was fun to see what she would come up with for themes.  
The article is in the Ontario guild publication, Fibre Focus.
