Mom surprised me with two bobbin lace books that she picked up at a library sale for .50!  I got Pamela Nottingham's Bobbin Lace Making and Bobbin Lace: Form by the Twisting of Cords by Kaethe Kliot!  Both are excellent!
I also spent some time learning how to make a lucet braid today.   Very fun and easy!  It could get very addicting.  I think I may pick up another lucet though.  The one I bought is great and serves its purpose, but is a little bulky.  I think I would like something a little slimmer.
I signed up for the summer tatting exchange and now I have to figure out what to send.  So many patterns to choose from and so little time!  I received some beautiful hand dyed thread from Yarnplayer (Marilee) that I'd like to use.  Just need to find a pattern worthy of it!
That was my fun for today :) - back to work tomorrow.  :(
