Yesterday I discovered that blocking is becoming more and more difficult as I have more and more children. First there is the challenge of finding a large enough clear [and non stained] expanse of floor. Then there is the issue of time. For example I couldn’t locate my T-pins so had to do an emercency run to grocers for dressmaker pins. Then I put Nece to sleep and started pinning. Of course she woke up in the middle and discovered that playing with pins is apparently the height of fun. Something to do with mom saying ‘no baby’ and carting her accross the room to be followed by scuttling back to the half blocked doily. I had to get her to fall back asleep. Once that was taken care of I decided to employ my handy dandy Zonta Dressing Wires. Much speedier. I am not totally pleased since IMO the beauty of lace relies heavily upon hours of painstaking measuring and pinning. Of course Lace is always lovely irregardless but its not up to my typical standard. I will try reblocking in about 5 years when Nece is off to school. Maybe I will find my T-pins by then?
