Hi Noelene, Your poem came through just fine in the first email. I loved the whole poem. It was my 42nd wedding anniversary yesterday which I totally forgot for the first time and I think I have trained my husband fairly well so I can now enjoy my lacemaking with no interference from him. :-)
I always say it doesn't take patience if you love what you are doing. I also add that I find lace to be meditative, must be the mantra in my brain "cross twist, cross twist". It took quite a while to stop saying it out loud. :-) Janice <Sorry about the strung-together lines in my last email. I don't know why it happened. I'll try again. How do you have the patience for that! I've heard many an onlooker cry. That jumble of pins, that birds-nest of thread. It's all just too much, they would sigh. It's easy, I say, just one step at a time. Just like training a husband from scratch. Now that really takes patience, persistence and time. To end up with a tolerable match. So if you've been married for umpteen odd years. You're a Darby and Joan, nice and steady. Then lacemaking skills are quite easy to learn. You've done all the training already.
