2004-12-21 Thread Eileen Lee
We returned from London and since then have been sick, and therefore way behind in reading digests. Anyway I wanted to say thanks again to those who told me about the lacemaker's fair. What an incredible, overwhelming event! It was quite an experience to actually be able to examine all sorts of

Gentle Spiders, Finished and mailed off to Cathleen Belleville the samples inspired by her Rosa Libre workshop sometime last week. Which left me with a few days before my son's arrival and an empty pillow/idle bobbins. So I decided to try out Colcoton 34/2 for Windrose #1 (it works nicely ), si

Hi All, I made a "motif" that I've been wearing to different events and wore it to DH's work Christmas party two weeks ago. One of his co-workers asked if I'd made the piece I was wearing and I only gave him a short lesson in lace . I didn't think to take the photocopy I have of "How to make Bat

Greetings from the "semi-lurker" Paula, I don't chime in much because I typing has become a chore for me. I learned about this photo stamp offer through our San Jose newspaper. By the time I got mine and saw that they were, in fact, quite nice, the trial had ended. It made no sense to tell ever
