Lace

I am really wanting to make a book of lace and can't seem to get started on it. I have all these ideas running in my head while i'm at work then when I get home I just want to sit in my big chair or lay on the bed and watch the news.
I guess i'm going to have to quit reading the blogs where the stay at home gals are creating beautiful things out of lace and old dollies etc. I just want to leave work and get to work on my lace projects.
                                                                         

I have suit cases full of odds and ends of beautiful vintage  lace so no problem having enough to do a project. I just need a friend to work with to keep the creative juices flowing .
                                                                                   

                             
Changing subjects, I'm sending President Jimmy Carter a card to encourage him with his battle with cancer. I'm sure he will get 1000's of cards and mine won't even get read but sending it anyway


                                                                         

I plan on getting a couple projects done this weekend.

I sold my Round Iron bed and need to get the studio straighten up before the gal come over to get the bed. She is driving over from Illinois . My studio has piles for the next yard my neighbor and I are having on a Monday this time? I know crazy but we are both off work on Mondays. Saturday in our neighborhood is not good. During the week there is lots traffic

Linky parties I joined in

  1. Your lace collection sounds wonderful! I will be looking forward to the projects you do! My daughter, Summer, is in the insurance business and - as you know - there's not a lot of quality time to call your own! Once she and I were talking and I reminded her that working full time is quite an accomplishment in and of itself! She said, "Yes, WORKING is SO time consuming!" I'm in the autumn of my life and retired people have more free time and I am treasuring that!

  2. In time, you will create many lovely things with all your lace. I have a lot of it as well, but give it to friends.

  6. Your laces are just beautiful! Isn't it awful when work and real life get in the way of having fun? How would you make a lace book?

    I love looking at the dishes on the side bar of your blog. The red & white dishes are something I've been wanting to collect for a long time. Someday...

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  8. Janice, I can so relate to those creative ideas swirling around all day and then no energy left to get started when I get home! I started a lace book and it is in the back of the closet now.

  9. Your lace pieces are beautiful. How how I admire Pres Carter, what a true man for others to live up to. He was the first person I ever voted for President when I was old enough. I too thought about sending him my best wishes.
