Happy New Year from us here in Dorset as well. I cleared up lots of
little lace pieces during the last 2 or 3 months of the year and have now in
the middle of making a gift but have sat and begun to list ufos of sewing,
lace and things like that that must be done soon, then a list ofodd ufos in
my little box with no end user yet. When I heard about an engagement I have
made items of lace over the years, but they dont always lead to a wedding.
One piece wasn't ready in time so still sits as pieces of lace in my box and
needs to be all sewn together, I wanted to have a couple of horseshoes
waiting so that if I heard of an engagement, special wedding anniversary or
something I didn't have to rush at making one, so have left them unfinished.
One piece I have been unsuccessful in cutting out the right shape acetate to
sandwich in between so is not finished. Now need more acetate. Most of
my ufos are down to the sewing completion.... my weakness it would appear.
I haven't yet left any unfinished lace in the making on pillows.
I have been asked to teach my next door neighbour to make lace so need to
get some items together for that and someone else wants me to show her
little craft group how to do the needle tatting which I made for several
bauble coverings.
I have plans to learn another craft which means reading and trying, watching
video clips and seeing how I get on, but I have more faith in myself now
having used this method to learn the needle tatting in 2013.
No big lace projects in mind yet this year so I need to go through my books
and choose my patterns and ideas for the future. First time in a very long
time I haven't had a long list of things to do already, :-) I dislike
sitting without ideas of what to do next though, so need to find something
soon.
