To all fellow Arachneans, I did not mean to offend anyone by my previous posting. I do appreciate tatting as I've been tatting on & off for since I was shown how to nearly 25 years ago. For those who were offended, please accept my sincere apology.
I'd just like to share something that happened last year. It was our first Christmas here in Estonia, & I was looking forward to learning what the traditions here are, but I was very little disappointed that what I found available in the way of Christmas decorations were all "Made in China". So I decided to make some tatted snowflakes to give as a little gift inside cards. I gave one to each of the American families that we had met during the autumn months. These are families who are here working as missionaries, & not one of them sent us a card in return. They all appreciated my handwork, but I was very disillusioned by the experience. So please understand that I just expressed a preference for a card with the same quality of handwork that I'm contributing.
