Opera Shawls
I decided to make some lace shawls and name them after characters in opera. This one is Mimi...can you guess why?!
And here is the Queen of the Night!!
Shetland Lace Scarves
Here are some scarves I made in Shetland Lace wool, using a pattern from the 1950s (I think!)
My flower brooches
I make these flower brooches to sell; as you can see, they are in a variety of colours. The purple/lilac/mauve ones are intended to reflect the colours of the violas in my garden.
