I got the Romanian Point Lace cord couched down last night...or was it the night before? The days are beginning to blur. I still need to hide my ends and secure some joinings. I played with needlelace last night for about a half hour. There is so much potential in this design. Do I focus on the heart shapes or de-emphasize them? I did keep track of how much cord it took. I had 100 inches of cord made and after I finished couching, I had 59 inches left, so it took 41 inches. I thought it took more than that. And then after that, I found a bunch I already had made up in the RPL drawer. I have a couple of 3 drawer plastic storage units. I've designated drawers for RPL, bobbinlace, knitting (which took up 3) and I think I have embroidery or - oh, stitchery kits in another. I have more stuff than what will fit in the drawers but I was trying to organize the newer crafts, like bobbinlace and RPL, which I don't have a lot of supplies for yet, into one place.

Dear Tami is being very patient while I finish up her package. I thought I was done and then decided to do something which is taking another day or so, but I will have it mailed out before I draw the next winner.

As for now, I'm going to try to get in an early night!
