Lace again!

The bobbin lace update:

I've finished my leaf, and I'm on to a border now which incorporates some new stitches!

The bad (and scary!) news is that my teacher, Laura, is having eye problems -- in her right eye she reports that she has only half her field of vision.  Since her livelihood depends directly on her eyesight, this is understandably terrifying for her.  The good news is that they have ruled out a brain tumor; she's hoping to find out soon what's causing it.

Love,

Alexandra
