Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{My Hand Made Filet Lace Embroidered Angels}

  • Yesterday you could see a shadow of an angel, reflected in our high gloss bathroom cabinet vanity. 
  • Today I want to show you more of our window treatment, that I made by hand.

  • Getting a good photo of these angels is about as hard as making the curtain...
  • You can see the balcony's balustrade to the right and the white vinyl fence below.

  • Such a window treatment is very hard to capture on camera but at least I tried!
  • Here I've hand made two angels facing each other in filet lace embroidery.

  • This is the machine made net on which I did the Filet Lace Embroidery.
  • There is a crocheted edging all around for being able to fasten it on the tiny brass nails, that are painted white.
  • Very easy for laundering and putting it straight out from the washing machine back onto those brass nails. 
  • Never do they get rust stains because of the brass.

  • Even from the outside it is very hard to capture as it is way up high and behind a vinyl fence.
  • So I had to zoom in, standing below on the ground.
  • There is a screen in front of the window, that makes the filet lace embroidery look less clear.
  • Our home will get a pressure wash and a new painting coat in May; that will also take care of the screen as they have to come off.


  • hemels handwerkbook
  • heavenly handworkbook

  • This book is in Dutch but language doesn't really matter for following the patterns.

Is anyone of you also working with Filet Lace Embroidery?

  10. Mariette, ich kann diese Handarbeit nicht.
    Die Engel sind wunderbar geworden und eine
    wahre Augenweide. Ich kann mir vorstellen,
    dass es eine "Heidenarbeit" war.
    Einen schönen Dienstag wünscht
    Irmi

  14. Gorgeous!
    I love making filet crochet items too. I made a few small doilies and bookmarks that I designed myself as it's quite easy to make simple designs for filet crochet.

  16. Io adoro tutto ciò che è fatto a mano e le tende sono una delle cose che amo di più. Le tende in una stanza fanno la differenza, la rendono elegante o sobria, allegra o soft. Queste a filet con gli angeli sono dolcissime, molto raffinate. Complimenti. Paola
