This was sent to me but was obviously intended for the whole list. Vicki in Maryland, still having fun playing with Tønder samples after Lace at Sweet Briar

Soooo, I thought I'd ask what you are doing this week lace-wise. I'm really missing going to Convention. That's the first thing. Today I'm going up to the Ipswich Historical Society Museum, where a few of us work with their lace collections. Sally Barry, Linda Lane and I photograph the lace samples and then eventually wrap the lace around tubes (or whatever is appropriate) for storage. We go every two weeks, and it is our lace "fix". On Friday I'll go up to Plimoth Plantation to work some more on the gold and silver lace that will adorn their recreation of a 1620's woman's embroidered jacket. The long piece of lace that needs to be made (just over three yards) is now almost 40" long. I'll probably finish off one of the short pieces and start a new short piece, and then two of four short pieces (for shoulders and cuffs) will be finished. In between, I'm hoping to get a little piece of Binche started. It's been a while since I waded into the murky waters of Binche, so it will be a challenge. I hate summer, the heat and the sticky weather, but it is good for one thing -- retreating into an air conditioned room and making lace. Now it's your turn, tell us what you are up to.
