About Me
I have been making bobbin lace for most of my life. About twenty years ago, I started to paint lace bobbins for myself and then gradually began to paint bobbins for friends. Over the next few years, I started to sell bobbins to lace groups across the UK, at shows and by post. As demand increased, I decided that I would like to develop this into a business - at this point, I opened my Etsy shop.

More recently, I started to sell a range of books, unpainted lace bobbins, lacemaking equipment and tools. I am planning to stock a wider range of products in the future. I post lace bobbins, books and equipment worldwide including to Australia, US, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Scandinavia etc.

As well as being an active lace maker and designer, I served for three years on The Lace Guild Executive Committee and have taught workshops at The Lace Guild Convention. I have been a member of Edinburgh Lace Club since moving to Scotland in 1998 and am a member of The Westhope Group.
The website will give you an idea of my work but if you would like something a little different please contact me. I paint a wide range of designs including pets, fruit, flowers, seasonal, spirals, stylised designs, Celtic knots and teddies. 

My bobbins are painted with acrylic, watercolour or gouache paints and then sealed with several coats of varnish.
