Jo Buckberry - It’s been an amazing week at Creative Escapes with Claire Bonito of Bonitocrafts. Claire gifted us this wonderful pattern, which I started on Wednesday afternoon. Already looking forward to next year, I’ll miss the lovely ladies here, Claire and of course the fabulous Karen and Kathryn.

 

Jo Buckberry - Today I achieved 5/6 of a strip of angel wing. Tomorrow I’ll be rolling the edge then starting the skirt. Amazed at how much I did in a day!

 

Jo Buckberry - Starting point (plus 3 pins) for my lace retreat with Claire Bonito in Spain

 

Jo Buckberry - Happy New Year. I’m hoping for a 2026 filled with health, happiness, travelling and crafting! I’ve spent today working on this Milanese angel, which has been very relaxing. A lovely way to bring in the New Year

 

Jo Buckberry - After a lovely weekend making Milanese Lace with Claire Bonito and buying a few goodies including another book on Idrija lace I decided it was time to actually have a go at it. So I found the first book, pricked the pattern and worked 2/3 of it this evening.

 

Jo Buckberry - First morning’s work, first scroll completed.
