Hi I re subscribed to Arachne after a long break during which my health has deteriorated sadly. The reason for my return is that now our then teenagers are grown and no longer living at home we have managed to gain a craft room in which my lace no longer has to compete for space and can be left as and when I like. As soon as the room was finished in March my daughter announced her wedding was to be on April 19th and requested an extra long wedding veil with butterflies all over it. I dropped everything to do with housework and study (I am also studying for my degree) and set to making butterflies in lace. I managed 10 in between March 20th and April 19th. Not bad going I thought. I worked from morning until night most days with very few breaks to achieve this and after such a long break from lace making I am extremely pleased with the result. I used any butterfly patterns I could find in my collection and found the only bit I didn't enjoy was winding the bobbins!!! So in a way this email is by way of reintroduction and a celebration as the wedding was yesterday and went fantastically well considering the lack of prep time. I was reading arachne and chat too which encouraged me to keep going and I have been looking forward to saying hi to old friends. Jean and Tamara are two names I recognise but there are a lot of new friends I am looking forward to meeting too. Anyhow I realise this is the lace list and not chat so as not to be off topic I will keep this short and look forward to future correspondence. Happy lacing Ruth Airey (Ongar Essex UK) PS I am hoping there is a good photo of the veil and wondered whether there is somewhere I can put it online for people to see?
