Bev, What have you started? I resolved, as I finished work yesterday (did you all hear the whoops of joy ?) to finish things which have been on pillows for longer than I like to think about - a small but intricate circular mat, a large lace hankie edging by Joan Kelly (love her patterns, and sorry to hear she wasn't in the best of health last time I talked to a friend of hers), a lace clown in the most vivid and bright colours for the second grandson, a lace garter of my own design in the fond hope that my daughter will take the plunge into the marital pool, the Beds bookmark of a daffodil - which is not really for the faint-hearted! - a small motif that usually goes to Lace Days with me, and of course, not much of which gets done....
When all that is done, I plan to make a wide edging to go round a surplice for my daughter-in-law's father, as he is being ordained a deacon next year - and I first promised this two years ago - do you think I should get lacing *right now*? I also bought, when one of my class bought a similar pattern, a pricking - to be displayed in a silver (plated?) candlestick holder - in Bucks point, so I should get cracking with that, as my student has nearly finished hers! One of the groups that I belong to has an exhibition of work at their Lace Day in June, and next year's is Bookmarks, so several are needed for that, as well as the *ordinary* display of the other work completed in the year ...... Should I go on? I am feeling exhausted already, and probably need to lie down in a darkened room - or at least get off the computer, and actually do some lace! Ah well - back to the Lace Place, and see what can be done before bedtime - I'll keep you all posted on the progress - or lack thereof!!! Carol - in a really warm and sunny East Anglia, and hoping it just gets warmer when we go to Wales very soon! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bev Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2003 5:51 PM Subject: [lace] dropout lacers... - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED]
