As the name says I'm fond of the Autumn. I hate the Heat but not keen on it being too cold either, that's why a cool Autumn is nice. I'm also a crafter and that's what this blog will be mainly about.

Today are my latest lace pieces.
Lavender mix (3 sewing cottons and Purple thin cotton.) Orange Vari Perle no:8,
Copper Perle No: 8.
They are not too bad, not the best but better than first 4, my recent green one went the best and I think I got the tension right on that, and didn't make a mistake. I hope today's mixed lace goes as well.
I failed with the paper bobbins but I suspect it was cause I'm too used to the wooden ones, shame because they held the thread nicely. But by pulling the thread not the bobbin for tension, I lessen the unravelling from my mixed thread lace. I converted back to wooden bobbins and yesterday's 1st repeat of pattern went perfect. So in the end all went well.

These are stunning Suzy. You must have the patience of a saint! Blessings
Its just a matter of following the pattern and remembering which bobbin go in and out of the bits in it.
Lovely work Suzy.

Thanks for sharing them with us. ^_^

Sometimes it's hard to change things when we're used to something...
Yeah, too set in my ways.
That it works is the important thing. ^_~
