Another Rabbit Hole
Another craft obsession is literally the last thing I need and the only thing I apparently can’t resist. It started with a spatter stain on an almost new white cotton blouse. A conversation with Alice, proprietor of the bAlice embroidery studio here in Dublin Ireland. An introduction to Mountmellick embroidery, a type of whitework originated in the early 19th century in County Laois (fun fact – pronounced more like Leesh). There is a museum and everything, and that’s where I found this hard to find, recommended book. I reckon my investment of time and money in this visible decorative mending project would pay for a replacement of the blouse two times over. And I already bought a replacement blouse. But that’s how a rabbit hole works.
