Lacy What Ifs

Posted on July 4th, 2006 by Deb

The folks at The Amazing Lace want to know, if I bound off my lace RIGHT NOW–what could it be used for?

They asked for one picture, but really, a go-getter lace project like my Peacock Stole would have options, prospects! So here are just a few:

img_1441  She could try her yarn at being a place-mat.

img_1450  And then, being a super-hero’s cape could be fun, as long as she could avoid the snags.

img_1451  I can’t imagine she’d say no to being a blanket to such a nice, soft, appreciative doggy like Chappy, either. (Don’t they look well together? Although I’m not too sure about the “Get this off me, Mom, you’re embarrassing me” look on his face.)

img_1437_1  Of course, there’s always the old lace stand-by of being a curtain–although she’d need to find a smaller window. (That’s my Peacock, always thinking big! Going right for the big, bay window rather than any of the smaller ones.)

img_1455  If things got really bad, she could look into the cleaning industry, be a bathmat, or maybe a job as a loofah for a bather.

Uh-oh.

img_1458  Oh, the poor dear! I don’t think she found these prospects as encouraging as she’d hoped. She’s taken to bed (MY bed) with drink, now…. Maybe I should just help her become the beautiful lace stole I know she can be, huh?

    LOL

    Never knew lace could have an identity crisis! ;-) You better spend lots of time with her and help her get to being what she was born to be. :P

    That Peacock Stole, you better get her out of the booze!

    You have truely embued your stole with your own creativity. She could be anything she set her lace to;)

    I especially like the last shot with the sherry. Only sherry for the oh-so-proper genteel lady that she is.

    Oh, the curtain shot really shows off the gorgeous pattern — nice job!

    She’s got some great options there but I think she really wants to be finished.

    Well, we certainly can’t accuse her of being a shrinking violet, can we? She’s growing into such a big beautiful girl.

    This Amazing Lace thing is really neat, I wish I would have signed up.

    Loved today’s pictures.

    If I were her, I’d go for the blanket for Chappy. He’s very handsome and would love her a lot.

    Love the options! Peacock is looking great!

  11. Chris // Jul 5, 2006 at 7:00 pm

    Definitely the cape.

  12. Jess // Jul 5, 2006 at 8:31 pm

    Well, at least she’s exploring her options ;o)

    She’s going to be gorgeous, but you better keep your eye on her as she grows up!
