I'm sitting here at work, wondering whether anything's happened to my sister.

Well, it all started out with a new paint job in my kitchen and now I want
to put lace around the three windows that look out on my backyard. I was
thinking that I could do painting but I don't paint flowers or stencil and I
wanted to use an art or craft form that I didn't have to learn.
Hi, Arachnes,
My sister's fine. She got to work just before the bombs went off. She had some
trouble getting home because the Underground stations were closing one by one,
so she bought an A to Z and a bottle of water in case she had to walk home. In
the end, she was able to catch a couple trains

Personally, I think paint is more practical than thread or wire in a
kitchen. Grease from frying gets into the air and forms a fine layer
everywhere, and dust catches in it. Cleaning lace would be terribly
difficult. It shouldn't be too hard to paint from pictures of lace
flowers.

Though it's not bobbin lace, I've been very satisfied with the filet

from Chris Rankin's book Filet Crochet. I made them out of coarser thread

Another suggestion if you want to use tatting would be to try saturating the
tatting with liquid starch and then adhering it directly to a painted wall. I
have seen this done with fabric on the tv decorating shows, just don't know if
your tatting would be too heavy to stay up. You can then
