I’ve just finished a rereading of Elegy for Eddie byJacqueline Winspear. This is the latest Maisie Dobbs novel she has written. I
enjoy the period mysteries. This particular one is going to be a favorite of
mine. That’s because the housekeeper, Mrs. Bromleigh, explains that she keeps
busy caring for the house and tatting. I grinned and giggled when I read that.
And some think tatting is a lost art! Harrumph!!
I am a musician (organ) and a tatter (shuttle mostly) living in California. I have dreamed of combining both of these passions.

to read.....
The
weeding is done for a week or so. Whew!
I
haven’t much to show for tatting. I’ve been distracted by a good book:
The
Mapping of Love and Death by
Jacqueline Winspear
It’s
the latest in her Maisie Dobbs series. Her detective is an engaging character.
If you like mysteries, English period dramas, and strong female characters, I
recommend it. I’ve another 100 pages to go. So, you may not see much for
tatting. Unless I decide to pick up an easy bookmark to work on and I can prop
the book open.
