I'm so sorry I have been absent for a long time. So many things have happend in my life in the past half year.
My old and lovely cat Osvald have past away, as he got more and more ill and finally I took the decision to have the veterinarian to come home to our place and end his life in a good way. Today his ashes is standing in our livingroom, so I always can talk to him.
Our little home became more and more empty and after several months my husband and I went to the shelter together. There were little Manolo waiting for us, a cute and sweet 6 months kitten, red like Osvald. I knew he was the right cat for us and today he have become
part of our little family and the most loving cat.
Right now Manolo is lying next to me on the sofa, while I'm writing this blogpost.
Manolo have been helping me and my husband through another very difficult time.
I have had a dream for so many years, to become a mother.
Unfortunately it did not happend so we deceided to get help from a fertility clinic. I have to admit I have been going through hell and
finally we deceided to stop the process as it was to hard. This Spring will be very hard on me, but thankfully I have a very sweet and
loving husband.
I would like to share some images of my bobbinlace samples. I know this is only some simple bobbinlace, but one day I hope to be able to make some more complicated pieces.
I still remember the evenings when I was a young girl sitting in my Grandmothers livingroom and she taught me to make bobbinlace,
her special smell and her hands working with the tools.
I admire your beautiful bobbinlace, but most of all your courage and honesty! Wish you lots of love & strength during the months ahead.

Simple .... Simply beautiful. I think we share the same passion for vintage textiles and a desire to learn the old techniques. I am sending a hug and loving thoughts your way. I know you will fill those spaces in your heart with beauty . I might be visiting Copenhagen in August on my way to Norway and would love to meet you. Xx
