Have you seen such a project??? LOL! Short attentions spans for sure. Such is this world where it is so fast you don't give time to slow down between life's episodes. As to this instance of kids not interested in bobbin lace, I think it is just the venue. Normally I demonstrate in period costume at our tent and it is a learning environment. But interesting to find the comments and interests in different venues out of the norm. Good slogan, Devon. Tatting does have a slogan...."Tatting is KNOT a Lost Art" ;) -- - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
