Happy Easter

Well the sunshine is trying to come out, is it shinning where you are?

Spring always mean a time to sort out, a bit of a spring clean. I found out some of my early pieces of Bobbin Lace, which are Easter theme.

This little rabbit was one of my first pieces, so that was longtime ago.

Hope you all have a lovely Easter Weekend whatever you can get up to.

2021 – Challenge is at a end

Throughout January I’ve have been taking part in a Instagram challenge set by Jane Fuller of “Bobbin & Wire”. 

It had prompt for each day some easily connected to lace and lace making and some making you think out of the box.  Have a look on Instagram (link to my page) for #lacechallenge_2021 – but also the other fantastic lace makers from around the world that have contributed over the month. 

101 days to Christmas
