Good morning, all. As of now, I am planning on attending the lunch gathering of Arachne. Last year was the first time I attended. Itâs quite fun. And a chance to meet more lacers. My husband will be traveling with me this year. There were no other lacers from Nebraska that were able to attend. So we thought we would make it sort of a vacation. The shop will be closed during the time that we are gone. However, lacemaking is top on the list.
Looking forward to being there.
