Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back! I must say that I truly missed every one of my bloggy buddies. I can't believe how much I've missed in blogland. I have to admit that I'm thoroughly addicted to the internet and had to rip myself away so that I could focus and get all my work done. I just logged onto my bloglines and I have 5,229 unread posts!! *faints* Looks like everyone's been quite busy indeed! Can't wait to get caught up with what everyone is up to.
In the meantime I thought I'd share some little lovelies that I acquired recently. I bought mine the unfortunately closed Kalena Studio, but she's a new mama so I'll allow it. :P But I've listed some other great places to get them below.
*Edited * It seems the top two photos are actually Bobbin Lace! Thank you Sunshine for that information. I wasn't sure what these were called so now I know and so do you! ^_^
I'm sure you've all noticed the lacy crochet doily thing that's been happening. We've all seen them in our beloved Japanese craft books. I must admit that I'm smitten! I know I'm not alone in my love for these crocheted pretties. Crochet trim and doilies make me utterly and divinely happy!
I've got lot's of plans for these babies, so stay tuned.
Lot's of inspiration to be had around the net on all the clever things you can do with them.
