Linda asked me if I would put some colored paper behind my lace. I didn't think about that but it does make it show up more.
I'm rather facinated with this one and am hoping that maybe Linda or Gina or someone knows how this was done.
It looks like crocheting on rick/rack. The little rick/rack. I've never seen anything like this before and I think it's cool looking. Anyone have any ideas on this?

More Old Lace
A bit more of the old lace that bought at the flea market in November. I really like the piece in the middle. It looks like ferns.

Old Lace
You may remember me mentioning the big bag of lace that I bought at the last flea market that I went to. It's all washed, starched and pressed now. It didn't come out quite as clean as I had hoped but I'll probably handpaint some of it so it won't matter.
It took me 3 days to starch and iron it all! Here are three of the unusual pieces from "me plunder"! I'll share more tomorrow.

More Tatted Ornaments
Here are few more. I did some wreaths too but I used a pattern for those.
I used a variety of different threads for these. Some crochet thread, some pearl cottons. I really love tatting with the varigated threads. I like to watch the colors change!
Sorry they're not straight in the photos. I used the scanner instead of the camera.

Tatted Ornaments
Today, I thought I would share a few of the tatted ornaments that I made to tie on gifts. I made a ton of these last January!
I kind of just made up the trees. Maybe I'll work up another one and write down the directions as I go to post here.
In the meantime, I used fabric glue to attach them to the fabric, then I sewed the sequins on and then finished them like doorknockers. And I haven't forgotten that some of you are still waiting for those directions! I'll get that posted as soon as I have time to sew some more together.
