Re: [lace] New website! Oops - forgot to send address! www.sandiwoods.com
Hi Sandi Your new website is wonderful and your beautiful designs are just gorgeous. I vividly remember seeing for the very first time, your wonderful shell exhibited at the John Bull exhibition when Susan and Roger Cox were still running The English Lace School in Devon. We had never seen anything like it before and we were spellbound by your exquisite use of colour! Like yourself, I'm a bit 'long in thee tooth' for all this modern technology and sometimes have to rely on the younger generation to get me out of trouble, but they all lead such busy lives! Well it seems that 'the way to a man's heart (IT skills) is definitely through his stomach'!

Oops - forgot to send address! www.sandiwoods.com At last! I have a website!!! A long time coming, I may be hearing...??? Hopefully, you will think it has been worth the wait. I discovered that feeding my son-in-law was the vital key to success, though there are others, without whose help, all sanity would have been lost. I am aware that there may be a few teething problems and an odd hiccup picked up by PC users, but if you could view this a 'work in progress' preview to the main event, grateful thanks would head your way.

Hi Sandi, Wonderful website. Spend a while enjoying the lace pictures of your magical lace. However, I have not come across any mention of the delightful booklets of patterns/info you and your fellow culprits (Angela Brown, Jean Mary Eke and Joke Sinclair) produced. Are you going to include them? I am sure they would be welcomed by perusers of your website. Happy lace making, Joepie -Original Message- From: Sandi Woods At last! I have a website!!!

[lace] Spiders
Hello All! No pictures yet, but I'm celebrating a TA DA moment! My spider bookmark pattern became a belt by repeating the 8 different spider motifs 5 times. I still can't believe that I moved the strip several times lived to tell the tale! Unfortunately after all that practice, I still need to use the directions to make each spider. Which begs the question--is there a point at which spiders become second nature? I can see memorizing one or two, maybe three, but good grief there are lots of spiders out there! Tomorrow I plan to work on trimming stray threads tidying my finish. Sorry to say, knots were used as I didn't know how to end neatly the finishes shown in Practical Skills didn't seem to match my circumstances. So I followed the Nike school of lacemaking--Just Do It!! Maybe all will be forgiven when I model the belt on my jeans on Saturday. South Florida Fiber Guild is meeting for a felting workshop, a photo shoot of previously made transfer-dyed silks ! show tell. I can hardly wait to see if the results are as envisioned!!

Re: [lace] Spiders
Hello Susan and everyone Excellent belt idea! For remembering the how-to it might help to think of the bobbin lace element 'spider' as what it really is, a type of crossing. In half a spider, the pairs have crossed each other and are on different sides than when they started. In a complete spider, they cross back again 'home.' Practice, practice ;) On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 7:50 PM, hottl...@neo.rr.com wrote: Hello All! No pictures yet, but I'm celebrating a TA DA moment!
