Hi Spiders, I saw a Dryad kit in a craft shop window in Colchester - and nagged on about it every quarter of an hour for fifteen minutes, till Christmastime. Well - surprisingly, it was in my Christmas stocking. but when I opened it all up, I nearly had conniptions. I couldn't understand the Raie Clare patterns, didn't know what the beads and wire were for, and wondered what on earth I was to do with this box of goodies which I couldn't use.
Providentially, a friend and a couple of associates were taking over an unused church in the next village to me, as a craft centre, and she rang me to tell me of the new craft classes they were starting after Christmas. I turned down the pottery - clay is too yucky - turned down the patchwork (could teach that myself, if necessary!) and several other things until as a last resort she said "Well - what about bobbin lace, then!" Talk about the Good Lord looking after fools and drunks! I set out on my bike immediately to sign on - and that was twenty-six years ago, and the fascination has never waned at all! But would you believe - there were five students in Joy's class then, and of those students, three of us were called Carol. Carol - in Suffolk UK. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 2:08 AM Subject: Re: [lace] And how did you find out about making lace? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: The Mouzons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > All the talk about getting youger people interested in lacemaking > > made me wonder...how did you find out about lacemaking? > - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
