Dear me, no ;) I think I bore my lace group when I take the recent laces to our monthly meetings. Many are my own designs, and if I'm not at a pillow, I'm at the computer using the lace design software or chatting lace. At the moment it is my life - except cooking, which I do like to do on account of I like to eat ~ and cooking cleanup, because I like a clean kitchen (I don't do windows!). When there are '5 projects on the go' it seems to follow that 5 are finished at about the same time. Then there are a lot of empty pillows which is quite shocking. I finish what I start, or cut it off if the going isn't interesting any more. Every piece of lace, even the cut off bits, finds a use. Must have the > right pillow for the right project even though only one at a time gets > done! Yes, totally. When it comes right down to it, we are capable of working at only one pillow at a time and holding just so many pairs at once too ;) There is a plus to multi-tasking if during the puzzle-solving stage of a lace pattern, the mind needs a break from the troublesome lace, there is a soothing, familiar pattern on another pillow to work on for awhile, when maybe the 'a-ha' moment occurs and the problem is solved. But, others might prefer to do another craft in the meantime, for a total break. My lacemaking is overall hohum, not the stuff of competitions, even if I enter some to give a boost to the organizers (it pains me to do so - I'm so not a maker of great lace, but one wants to support the cause?) - just that I do a lot of it, because I like it. -- Bev in Sooke BC where my not-at-the-pillow project today is moving lace books around (on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - and it's lunch time here! - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
