Lace Book From a Dear Sister-Friend

I have a few dear friends who have become close enough to refer to as 'sister'.

As time goes by, emails shoot back and forth, prayers and thoughts are shared, we have become closer to each other, and as a special birthday gift one year, I made a Lace Journal Book for one special sister.

And she made one for ME!!
Now three years later, I am posting the photos as well as the You Tube video I made.  You can find it here.

This book was made for me by my dear friend Wilma, from the Netherlands!
You can find her blog here.  Be sure and have a look...she has so many beautiful projects she has shared!

Thank you Wilma!  I cherish our friendship!

Lace Book "Cabinet Card Cuties"

Just the way it sounds, this little oval book is full of cabinet card cuties I found

on Pinterest.  They are so adorable, who could resist?

Made on a foundation or base of felt put together with hot glue, it was a quick and easy way to make a cute book that is full of lots of laces and trims.

If you would like to view the video on you tube you can find it here.

I love how it turned out!  I think it's one of my favorites!

Thank you so much for visiting!

The Perfect Size Lace Book, "Bygone Charm"

The Perfect Size Lace Book

It is my first try at making a lace book this size.  And it fits just perfectly in my hands!  Lots of fun to make.  The images are some beauties too!

I decided on a smaller size to use for the base of this book, 4 1/4 inches by 7 inches.
This one is rectangular shaped.
I also made an oval shaped one of the same dimensions and made a You Tube video
showing that tutorial which you can see here.

Lots of ruffles and laces, trims and appliques.
All my favorite things!

Hope you like it!

Blessings,

The Newest Lace Book Name Is..."Crowning Glory"!

And the new name is.........Crowning Glory.
I asked for help naming g this particular book, and Maggie White from You Tube was the one who suggested it.  Thank you Maggie!  And thank you each of you who commented and suggested names.  I appreciate it!

 If you would like to see this book in greater detail, you can view my video on You Tube by clicking here.

So here it is.  The theme is the HAIR Do's in each photo.

I don't know if they are all Gibson Girls or not, but the hair styles appear to be that genre.

Lots of dangles on the bottom, and a simple design for the back.

The first two pages 

Pages 3 and 4 below

And pages 5 and 6 below

The side is tied closed with silk ribbons

Whenever I start a lace book, I can't stop working on it until it is finished.  By that, I mean that if it takes a week of being in the craft room for hours every day, that's what I do.  And it is so much fun!  And if something is scheduled for one of those days, like a doctor appointment, I get all fidgety until I can get back to it!  Are y'all anything like that?  Do you also sit and gaze at videos and photos of lace books and lace projects and just smile?

I must thank each of you who share your work with us!  What lovely creations you have made!  Books and wall hangings, projects dripping with pearls and lace, the most lovely ideas I have ever seen!  You are each SO talented!

I have learned so much from you all!

Thank you for visiting!   I hope you each have a wonderful week!

Blessings,
