Beginning Again
This afternoon I went to Jennifer’s where I met with her, Karin and her g/son Anthony to make lace. I had cut the teeny, tiny green thread off, wound bobbins and even started the red bookmark this morning and immediately ran afoul of the pattern.

Finishing – a Little
This photo doesn’t really do these towels justice. The subtle colours make the fabric very rich. The cloth has two different sides – one more blue, the other more beige. I got two of the cloth storage rollers cleared off and serged everything that could be serged. Today I ran a load of tea towels…
