Delurking with my short list... I've been demonstrating when I can with Portland Lace Society at county fairs, state fairs and other gatherings, so I've been more productive than usual. (a 7:30 am to "whenever" job puts a serious crimp in my lace time.)
I have decided that the next year or so is "clear the decks" time - no new projects (if I can help it) until the UFO pile is diminished. I'm another one of those crazy people with multiple hobbies, so this isn't just about lace. :-) The first of the "finish it" projects is the floral Bucks class piece from 2005 IOLI in Denver. I finished the butterfly, but the larger piece is still in progress. I'm picking up speed with it though, after working on it during all of our demonstrations, so I want to keep going until it's done. After that is the Cluny/guipure "shoe" from our class with Lia, shortly after Denver. I'm 2/3 done, so it'll feel good to get that one off my plate too. Other than those two, I've got a couple of lace knitting projects to finish, a needlelace rose from the Pacific NW Conference last June to finish, and a small bit of Youghal lace to finish from a couple of years back. (Yes, I know, but it's a tricky filling and I needed a refresher from Nancy Evans before I could continue.) If I'm making good progress with these, I've got a couple of cross stitch and crewel projects that are by far my oldest UFOs. But first, I've got a pirate costume to sew for in time for a Halloween party (I've no idea what DH is going to be - he's on his own!), Portland's annual Lace Day on Saturday, and two more knitting classes the next weekend. <grin> Back to lurking and stitching, LeAnn in Oregon - where we're due to get sunny warm weather again in a day or two. :-) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
