Madli’s Shawl

Now that my air conditioner is fixed (now that the wiring for the a.c. is fixed, actually–it only took 3 weeks, and about 8 man-hours, for the highly trained HVAC guy to figure out that the problem wasn’t with the out-of-the-box wall unit, but rather with the wiring in the breaker box), I’m ready to dive . . . → Read More: Madli’s Shawl Read more »

Although I have a number of lace projects going (you can’t have just one), I finally have two that I actually started after June 21st so I feel I can include them in this event.
