White Wednesday Lace from Sicily

White Wednesday!
and I need to know what to do....

The bird is a new project for Glitterfest. Did you know I will be at Glitterfest? The challenge for me is to make small things. Since I will have my Birdhouses I was thinking of decorating birds. I am not good at it. The best bird decorators are: Joy from Vintage Rabbit and Linda from La Maison Rustique/Urban Barn But I am going to give it a try....
Also I brought back lace from Sicily, some new, some old. The question is: do I resale them by the yard? Do I make things with it?




first bird is done! and I don't like it. I got it a Joann and it's head looks to Franksteinish to me. Oh well, it was fun.

Happy White Wednesday and don't forget to visit Kathleen for more White Wednesday bloguettes.
Arrivederci Rita

    Yeah! I'm so glad you're back. I was just thinking about you the other day. My daughter is really enjoying soldering. She is doing it way more than me. Hope all is going well and thanks for sharing all your beautiful lace.

    Rita: The bird is cute but I think it needs a ribbon? bow? rusty chain around neck? Alot of help aren't I? ha ha

    I'm with everyone else. I would keep the lace intact and either sell by lengths or package up in smaller increments in cute little bags.

    Can't wait for Glitterfest :}
