One of my favourite magazines is the Canadian Uppercase Magazine.

It has really nice articles about Makers and their passion for their work.

Therefore, I was glad to see they published the story in Uppercase.
These are pictures of my family's craft and the box full of treasures:
I have also found a book on Dutch lace and its history, which I like to read.
And the lace inspired me to some drawings, here's one:
