Bobbin Lace Making

I'm learning to make Bobbin Lace. There is finally a club here in Huntsville that welcomes beginners (I'm proud to consider myself an advanced beginner). The existing club does not allow new lace makers - I expect their fate to be similar to the Shakers, eventually they will all die.

So far I've done several bookmarks, some yardage and a sampler. For Christmas I'm hoping to get a subscription to a bobbin of the month club. Every month I'd get a new bobbin. It would be like having Christmas all year.

It will be a light Christmas. I'm making most of the gifts I'm giving.

It's hard to get excited about the holidays. My sister has ovarian cancer and is not doing very well. It's just hard to know what to do.
