My family and I spent the last two weeks in the Mediterranean. It was my first time going, and it was a wonderful time. Perhaps one of the things I’m most excited about is the additions I made to my lace collection. There’s 4 pieces total, one crochet, and one Burano traditional needle lace.
and pineapple motifs.
ll the difference between handworked and machine (at least when it came to this example of embroidery). I’m afraid I got a very angry look on my face and dragged my brother, who was with me, out of the store.
For me, it was important to know that the crafts and the lace were the real thing – because I hate when something that isn’t handworked is “passed.” In an age where most people are unfamiliar with the traditional crafts, it’s important to me that people’s hard work be appreciated for what it is.
