I have had people who do extremely complex things themselves (just not lace) come up and say that too me. A lot of times, the people who tell me that are men who do extremely complex things like chain mail or other metal work. When I point out how much patience they have for their passion, they say something about how they feel the need to throw their thing against the wall.
I respond with, "I do that too! Only my needle lace will just go a few feet before fluttering to the floor. If it makes it to the tv, it won't do any damage to it. That's about the only difference between the patience I have to do this, and the patience you have to do woodworking/metal work/whatever big thing you do." :) Ob lace comment: Right now I have nothing plotted out, but have two projects I need to get done in a little over 2 weeks. I'd best get a move on! Bronwen in sunny (today) Colorado, where the snow from the weekend is almost melted.
