So I thought I would write a posts and share some picture with you all.
First I my wish for you all you putting here a picture I did with different holiday tatting I have done in years past.
Next is a tale of two free forming snowmen that I did in bobbin lace making. I follow a woman that is on YouTube. Some maybe know who she is. Her name is Nicola Parkman from the Cornwall, UK. She has a business called Hands Across Time Samplers. I find her very friendly sounding as I love when she talks about samplers that are found from times in the past and are reproduced and brought back to life. Well, she came here in the fall a couple months ago to teach a workshop. I would have loved to take the work shop and meet her in person. The beauty of this was I didn’t have to get on a plane. Nicola was going to be only 30 miles from my house … wonderful huh?? I had written to Nicola and told her how I follow her and the fact I live pretty close to where she was going to be when she came states side. I told her that I wished I could take her workshop and I lived close by. She said to come on Friday morning and we could have a coffee together. Since she was so nice and willing to do this I decided I would make her a cloth card and since Winter was on the horizon I made her a snowman. Here is the picture of that snowman which was on the front of the card. The back said Happy Winter with some confetti snowflakes with beads added on. I gave it to her and we had coffee together and a chat. It was a very nice and special time for me.
