Thank you to everyone who put my mind at rest re the quiet time on the list. I am so jealous of all the conventions and other lace-ins in USA, Australia and UK. It must be wonderful to have all these top-notch teachers to choose from and to keep up-to-date with everthing in the lace world. That is why I need my daily arachne lace fix, and get worried if it is not there for a few days.
I have also been very busy for this past week or two. It was our bi-annual exhibition in Johannesburg, combined with the Embroiderers Guild. Apart from being chair of the Witwatersrand Lace Guild and editor of the quarterly newsletter and webmaster and Facebook admin, I also run The Lace Place for all their supplies, so I was involved everywhere. Now that it is over I am looking forward to the holiday season when I hope to get some peaceful lacemaking time in. The exhibition was a great success over 2 days and the reporter from the local newspaper came to take pics and interview the organisers, so we hope to be in next week's edition. When I get some pictures back from our photographer I will put them on our website and tell you where to find them. Lace greetings from Janis in South Africa where we have just had a couple of showers of rain. The first in about 3 months and hope it will break the drought. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
