Handmade lace box

handmade lace box
I have 4 boxes of lace in my house. This is the only one that is only handmade laces, there are a few knitted, a tiny bit of bobbin-lace, some tatted, and a lot of crochet. The other boxes are all machine made laces. I purposely put my hand in the box so you can see the size of some of these laces; some are large, some are small. This is the stash I am adding to with the commuter lace.

You might notice this last photo (above) has an orange and black lace that the other two photos did not. I forgot that one was in my purse; it is hair pin lace that I made. I plan on using it for a Halloween apron.

One floral. I would have had more but could not find my camera battery all week; my daughter found it tonight.

  2. Are these laces you have made or collected from other lacemakers?

  3. I had only seen the hawian flower on her blog spot before. She is very creative with her colors. I like the lace box. I have yet to attempt such dainty things, but look forward to it in the future. :+) Thanks.
