obsessing over rya, and liking the idea that i can use a table loom to make smaller squares that are later stitched together. i have an archie brennan copper pipe tapestry loom, but the ones from kneeland mercado are also pretty appealing.

i was in a favourite vintage store recently when i spotted this beauty, a christening gown embroidered with the names of countless generations of babies that presumably were christened in this special family heirloom. what a treasure!

(makes me think of belle heir and all the special treasures she finds...)

lace making is one thing i will probably never learn how to do. it's on the list, but i can't even begin to wrap my mind around how something like this is made.

from a now defunct etsy listing.

it's all been very glamorous lately, being whisked away for a weekend on the lovely gambier island.

my sunday was near perfect, and included a beautiful cup of coffee and a moment or two to pick at my needlepoint.
