[lace] Happy Christmas.....

2014-12-24 Thread nestalace . carol
To all  Arachnids,

I do hope you all have a happy Christmas, and a healthy and happy, peaceful and 
prosperous New Year - I am taking my Mum off to Suffolk (UK) this afternoon, so 
we can spend Christmas Day with my son - a chef! - and his family, and Boxing 
Day with my daughter and her family - the littlest grandchild will be five 
years of age on Boxing Day, so what a super day we will have!    But - I 
suppose there is always a down-side!     I have grown a beautiful stye on my 
eye, so I do not look too wonderful - please keep your fingers crossed that it 
disappears quickly!!

However, a wonderful Christmas to you all, and may your pins never bend - I 
wonder how many of us will be able to make lace over the holiday ...

All best wishes to you all,

Carol - in North Norfolk UK - soon to be in Suffolk UK.
'Jesus is the reason for the season ...'

[lace] Christmas greetings

2014-12-24 Thread AGlez
With my preferred Christmas song, I want to wish all Arachneans a Merry
Christmas Season and a Happy New Year, in which health and love may be with
you. I also hope that you continue enjoying lacemaking as much as until
now!

Arachne is the best bobbin lace group I know, with so many people always
ready to answer and solve our lace problems. I have been on Arachne for
over 10 years and I must say that I have learnt a lot. I also try to
collaborate when I have a good answer or the time to do so. Unfortunately
there are many emails a day, and sometimes I have to delete them before
reading because of lack of time. But this does not mean they are not
interesting.

Best wishes from SPAIN (cold temperature, bright sun and Christmas carols
on the background...!)

[lace] Season's Greetings

2014-12-24 Thread Noelene Lafferty
Especially at Christmas,
Here's a greeting that brings
A whole lot of wishes
For life's nicest things-

May your lace give you pleasure
May your pins never bend
May the thread on your bobbins
Last right to the end.

May there always be prickings
And bobbins galore
And lacemaking friends
Coming in your front door.

And then through the New Year
May the same things hold true
So that each day is filled
With life's best things for you!

I wrote this several years ago now, and it's been a Christmas tradition of
mine to send it to Arachne each Christmas.

And a reminder that the Arachne Christmas Card exchange can be seen at

Merry Christmas, fellow lacemakers!

And we enjoy reading it every year Noelene, I would like to wish a  Happy 
Christmas and a Healthy, Prosperous New Year to all my Arachne friends

I would also like to thank Rebecca for her lovely tree ornament in a card that 
I received today, it is on display this year but next year I shall hang it on 
the tree with my other hand made treasures.
