Last week I showed the partial photocopy of the doily I was remaking.    When I designed it many years ago, I named it Winter.  Today I finished it, starched it, and photographed it.




Earlier this week I received this the mail.



I've almost finished proofreading it.  Once the corrections are all made, it will be available on Amazon.
