At the weekend I attended North Cheshire Lacemaker

At the weekend I attended North Cheshire Lacemakers Group Milanese lace weekend with Claire Bonito as our tutor. I worked on Claire’s swans, with a couple of little twists. It was amazing to see the difference a small Delica bead for the eye made compared to a hole, the coloured beak made even more of a difference, love the finished result! #lacemaking #handmade #dentelle #milanese #milaneselace #kant #lace #lacemaker #bobbinlace #swans

My “teacher I need help” hats are ready to leave my house for the first time in over 2 years … I’m teaching Continental laces and Honiton this weekend for North Cheshire Lacemakers Group at Frodsham, Cheshire. The hats… if a student gets stuck they put their hat up on their lace pillow and I can quickly see who needs help! I’ve used the idea now for over 25 years after my tutor at teacher training challenged me to find a solution in a busy class #teaching #teacher #helphat #helpplease #bobbinlace #lacemaking #NCLG #laceteacher #lacetutor #dentelle #kant #kantklossen #bobbins

Latest make is this candle designed by @threadabead , my tea light was slightly bigger than the pattern said so I beaded around with the tea light in place while working the base, bit fiddly but it worked! #ThreadABead #handmade #miyukibeads #miyukidelica #beading #handmade
