Hi Alice and Arachnids,
Had not really thought about doing a jigsaw on the computer, thoroughly
enjoyed doing your jigsaw; but........... it stopped me doing my lace! It is
also nice to see your photograph. By the way, there is a picture at the top
right of the jigsaw when you click on the little square symbol there.
The Seven Sisters Lace Society also has a 2nd hand sales table on their
annual special Lace Day (Seaford, East Sussex, 13th May, 2012) as well as a
lace competition -The Olympics this year, what else?-. The sales table
carries lace surplus from any lace-maker, marked with the price that
lace-maker wants for it. The society retains 25% of all items sold for club
funds to keep the fees down so it benefits everyone to some extent.
Happy lace making,
Joepie, East Sussex, UK
Tonight I was taking a break from other things and working some jigsaw
puzzles on the computer. I was on the webpage of The Jigsaw Puzzles and
clicked on the catagory of Homemade. A couple rows down the page was a
picture called "Bobbin lace". I couldn't resist, so chose it. The picture
on the page was very tiny so hard to see details. As I worked it, I noticed
the workcloth was familiar. Yes... It was ME!
You can see me making lace at the state fair on
http://thejigsawpuzzles.com/Handmade/Bobbin-Lace-jigsaw-puzzle?
I have no idea who took the picture. Lots of people take pictures at state
fair demos. It must have been last year since that's the only year I worked
Bucks Point lace recently.
On another subject, our regional lace group has started having a spring
event call Spring Housecleaning Swap Day. We gather to make lace and trade
or give away the excess lace supplies we no longer need. it's just a good
excuse to spend the whole day having fun. And a good chance for beginners
to pick up some thread, tools, or books.. and sometimes even a pillow.
Alice in Oregon ...
