To all fellow Arachneans,
I did not mean to offend anyone by my previous posting.
I do appreciate tatting as I've been tatting on off for
since I was shown how to nearly 25 years ago. For those
who were offended, please accept my sincere apology.
I'd just like to share something that happened

So please understand that I just expressed a preference for
a card with the same quality of handwork that I'm contributing.
Just this remark is the reason, why I will not participate.
Standarts, anyway by talking, are soo high!

I'm agnostic rather than atheist, but you've expressed my feeling
exactly. The various exchanges we have within this group, Christmas

No, Chris, don't take offense. That surely doesn't represent the
feeling of most of us textile-lovers. A knitted beauty, a tatted
beauty, a crocheted beauty -- who wouldn't be happy to get one of
those? And Tamara's idea of a textile tree has the typical
obviousness of a genius-inspired idea:
Thanks for the encouraging words.
But, being a real cheesehead, I will stay in my lurking mode.
Have fun, and I will admire the pictures on the web.

Yes, exactly. We have many Native American tribes in this area, and many
cities are named after them. Enumclaw, Puyallup, etc. Say EE-num-claw and
Pew-AL-up (that's pew as in a church, and Al, like the nickname for Allan).
It's a challenge for newcomers, but we natives take it all in stride!
