Between those two, I've not used my treadle wheel in about 7 months - although some of that is because I've also taken up sewing and I don't have room to have my sewing machine and cutting table up in my sitting room and have the treadle wheel in there at the same time.

@@callysto_ii You're welcome - and a Kiwi is a sensible choice if space is at a premium. I got my Traddy when I lived in a bigger place so the size of it was less of an issue. I don't find double treadle wheels comfortable to use and I also needed something that could be carried easily in one hand - which the Traddy is. Much easier than the poorly named Traveller, for instance. Do bear in mind, if cost is an issue that a brand new EEW nano can be bought for less than £120 and it has the oomph to spin at a reasonable speed. The bobbins do somewhat limit how much it will hold, but even so, it will compare well to the average spindle load and being so small it takes up virtually no room and can easily be carried around in one hand. Plus, with the 6 coming onto the market, it might also be possible to start finding them turning up on the second hand market for quite a bit less.

I recommend getting a bright, full spektrum lightbulb for your worklamp. They were around 20-25€ last time, I bought one (might be cheaper by now) but they are wonderful, if you don't have the luxury of sewing under bright daylight. You can actually see colors correctly and fine details are much more visible, as well. Just beware, that you may have trouble getting to sleep, if you use them late at night.

I was so happy to see the pet quarantine facilities are so nice! It looks very clean and comfortable. I was honestly very worried when I heard Cesario would be staying there. I worked abroad and decided to leave my furry friend at home with a caretaker for a year after seeing how terrible the quarantine facility was. The animals were all left in their carriers from the plane, which the staff did not clean. They didn’t keep different types of animals in separate areas so the constant dog barking seemed to scare many of the other animals. ㅠㅠ I imagined such a place for Cesario - what an immense relief to see that he is living like a king! I hope he will be back at home soon.

But he looks to be doing well and you will be able to bring him home soon. I have way more lace than I should own in my stash and IIRC a goodly portion would be appropriate for insertion. Perhaps I will need to make a dress. Although I despise wearing white, so that’s a hurdle I need to get over. I’ve managed quite a lovely Regency wardrobe without a white gown until recently when I made a black and white striped gown, so maybe one of these Lingerie dresses can be in my future.

If you already have lace, you can dye it. Mustard for yellow; ketchup (or tomato paste) for red, etc. Too, use vinegar with your dye to set your job. Salt soak/rinse to make double sure no bleeding.
