Re: [lace] Thistle Threads Subjects on TV Sunday Morning
Hi Jeri Yes I received your email yesterday (busy weekend) and did read the Thistle Threads blog. I did sign up for Tricia's online course so already knew about this incredibly talented and 'power house' lady. She really is an amazing lady and the amount of work she manages to produce is absolutely incredible. The amount of time she has dedicated to research, photography, written instructions. plus time spent with those youngsters and their Robotic championships is just mind blowing. Her home is always full of youngsters, plus sometimes their parents, all of whom she feeds and waters! She is one incredible lady. I sit and listen to the radio while I'm making lace or doing my embroidery and the time just seems to fly by and takes me into a little world of my own, away from any anxieties or problems I might have. I did read Tricia's blog but of course do this anyway from time to time. Thank you for all the time and energy YOU put into research for us lacemakers too. I agree that correspondence on Arachne is scarce, in fact it's almost non existent! Where is everyone and why so little activity? I'm off with lacemaking friends tomorrow to see the Stumpwork caskets exhibition at the Ashmoleum in Oxford and will report back during the week. Is anyone else going to see it or perhaps already been? Have any of you signed up for Tricia's Cabinet of Curiosities course?

[lace] Thistle Threads Subjects on TV Sunday Morning
Did anyone receive my memo yesterday about the Thistle Threads blog? One subject was Tricia Wilson Nguyen's recommendations of You Tube, podcasts, audio books while you are doing handwork. We women DO multi-task, and some of her text was very interesting. Many of you are able to make Lace and learn something new at the same time! On this morning's CBS Sunday Morning program, hosted by Jane Pauley, there was a segment about something related to this: Soundless slow-motion Public TV (without ads) in Norway. It seems to have become a fad there, and is a nice way to watch something out of the corner of your eye while making Lace. They showed a variety of film examples, one of which was about knitting, sheep shearing, etc. Some of these films run without repeating for many hours. It's non-intrusive, yet keeps you company when you glance up to re-focus your eyes. Second, there was coverage on this same program about children competing in the Robotic championships. Had you read my memo and then the Thistle Threads Blog, it would have jumped right out at you. These particular participants were quite young, compared to the teenagers that Tricia Wilson Nguyen coaches. Correspondence on Arachne is scarce. It is not a good trend. Surely, you have something to say about a recent guild meeting's speaker, work you are doing, questions to ask?
