Rain, Rain, Go Away!!! That is what it did all last weekend while my wife and I demonstrated at the Lincoln Log Cabin near Lerna, IL. YUCKY!! MESSY!! Saturday wasn't too bad. There were some breaks in the spitting rain. No real downpours. And we did have some visitors. We were set up at the Thomas and Sara Lincoln's log cabin grounds. There was even an encampment down the hill from the Sargent farm. It got flooded on Sunday so much you could canoe your way out. I never made it down there to see it. Too busy trying to stay dry! It was great to see the River City Tatting club and other friends. They demonstrated tatting of course while I demonstrated bobbinlace in the tent next to them. Sunday was a total mess and they thought about cancelling, but we demonstrators are tough and we just closed our tents and gathered in the cabin and had a good time working on our projects, chatting by a fire. Occasionally there would be some brave visitors coming out in this rain.
Below is a slideshow of pictures I took of the event we did at Lincoln Log Cabin near Lerna, IL. ENJOY! http://tat-man.net/LLC_5-2010.html Here is a picture of me demonstrating bobbin lace in the Lincoln Cabin on the rainy Sunday this past weekend. I was working on a Bruges Flower Lace doily. It is something showy for the public. Doesn't require too many bobbins and gets the work done fast so the public can see progress. http://tinyurl.com/2ewogsk Here is a close up of the lace I was working on http://tinyurl.com/23sqzqy -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html email: [email protected] - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
