I just got home from an over 4500 miles long trip (via car and with hubby) to the IOLI Convention in Durham, NC. It was a very successful trip. While there, I sold my tatting books, Teneriffe Lace, Filet Lace, & Romanian Point Lace kits in the vending room. I secondarily tended to my Convention Publicity duties of going to all the classrooms and photographing classes, people and any bit of handmade lace that I saw people wearing. I found out last year that photography was a bigger job that I had anticipated. So this year I didn’t take any classes. Many of my photos have been used on the IOLI’s FB & IG pages. Do check them out–“International Organization of Lace, Inc.”





The consensus is: Yes-she does with other tatters; No-she doesn’t with her spouse!


My shame? My Pride?
