However I decided I needed something new to do, I think this is part of the Virus, starting too many new projects.
In the dim distant past I was a lacemaker tutor and taught all over the USA, attended workshops in Belgium and France and organised tours for lacemakers. I also taught locally both through the Adult education system and privately.
I retired from all this 16 years ago when I had the opportunity to look after my first granddaughter two days a week, a very special time for me.
My lace pillows were put away and teaching equipment sold, making me enough money to buy a sports car, but that’s another story!
Today I dusted off one of my pillows that still has a piece of simple lace on it, it has taken some serious thinking to remember what I was doing 16 years ago, but I am loving it again.
Most of the bobbins are dated 1980-2000 and tell the story of my lace adventures.
Really pleased I kept the thread I was using with a bag of spare bobbins.
Ps. I still have drawers full of bobbins and equipment that have not seen the light of day for 16 years.

I have to laugh because I too have taken out my lace pillow recently that has been packed away for sooooo many years. I have a beautiful
Piece of Bucks Point on it but for the like of me I can’t go forward��. I also have the same greenhouse that you just purchased. Great to see all that you are doing. I’m a great grandma now. Her name is Sophia and she’s three !!!!
