I agree with Sharon completely! Not only are some people on the list unable to get pictures onto Lori's site, but another compelling fact exists... Many of our members, unlike Tamara, have one or more of the following considerations in their lives... a) a full time job, b) children in the home who require attention, c) husbands who expect more than a few hot meals in the bargain, d) a social life that extends beyond their interest in lace, e) the absence of a "cleaning lady"... In other words, they don't make lace every day, or even every week... but they still love it.
I don't think that Pauline set any time-limit on her gracious offer. She made the hearts as a labor of love, and seemed to take a lot of pleasure in sending them out to so many people. Those of us who received them feel honored to have them, and I have mine where I can see it as I write this... it hangs near my computer, and reminds me of Pauline and the wonderful spirit of Arachne. Anyone who has not yet completed hers has until judgement day to honor her commitment, as far as I can tell. As I recall, Pauline sent them as a challenge... do it if you can... If Pauline did not ask for accountability from the receivers, then neither should anyone else. Tamara, maybe it's time to lighten up on the "judge and jury" stuff... Clay, wearing my asbestos suit, 'cause I'm sure to be flamed for this one... ----- Original Message ----- From: "rick &sharon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 4:06 PM Subject: [lace] arachne heart > I was a proud recipient of one of Pauline's hearts :) I don't think you can > fault everyone for not sending in a picture of the finished cushion with the > promised lace.
