Completed!-Photograph frame sampler

I have just completed it yesterday.
It did take me a long time.
I will keep doing my bobbin lace work.

Again and again

I made a mistake several times at the same place.
I feel myself weakening.




I wrote the pattern.
I try back and I made it.
I can take the next step.

Happy New Year!

I saw the new year's first sunrise in my room.



I will continue my bobbin lace again this year.

Restart

I started making a new pattern.



I have moved and starting to calm down a bit now.
From my window, I have a view of the ocean as well as of the mountains.
I'm comfortable in my house.
I love watching birds.

I'm going to make something I've never made before. :)

Bobbin Lace Books

My other textbooks.

They were also easy-to-understand books.

Bobbin lace postcards

I found postcards when I was putting away my books.
Her name is Sachiko Ariki and Japanese lace maker.
She is really great!

I'd like to try it (draw a picture with bobbin lace) sometime!

My textbook

I teach myself bobbin lace.
The book is my first text.
It's described step by step and easily understandable.

The book is a second text.
I got up to page 74.

I'm moving next month.
I have to make arrangements for my move.
I'm busy right now, I can't make a bobbin lace.

I finished my bobbin lace!

I have finally been completed.

To be honest, I skipped three weeks make a lace.
I have to make a new lace.

Bobbin Lace - progress report

I have come to the halfway point.

My bobbin lace tools.

I love bobbin lace,
but it is not reach the same level of popularity
as other manual arts crafts in Japan.
There aren't that many stores and books for bobbin lace.

Bobbins made in Belgium .Pin made in Belgium and Japan.

Pincushions and bobbin holders .
(I receive a left pincushion as a present from my sister.
and I made bobbin holders with a little help from a family.)

This bobbin winder is made in Japan.
It's small but greatly-helpful.

I thought of making a pillow and I went to the DIY departments.
I go through a furniture department and so I found it!!
This is a Japanese cushion for summer.

It was a functionally-good pillow.

New pattern

It was completed on March 14th. ("June hanky" from The Bobbin Lace Manual)
It took a little longer than I anticipated.

This is a weaving yarn.
It's flattish cotton thread.
I chose three thread for the next bobbin lace.
It's left pink, slightly purple, and white color with hint of pink and yellow green.

Winding is too much of a bother, but it's also fun!

I'm just getting started.
I try to do a little bit of Bobbin lace every day.

My first bobbin lace

I borrowed a bobbin lace book from the library.
It was easy-to-understand book.
He made things very easy for me.
His name is Yusai Fukuyama.

I don't know whether or not I will be able to do it,
but I'll have a crack at it.
I'll make do with what I have.

I made it!
