Hello All, all those remarks you mentioned you could hear in Germany too. It depends on what place and in what time of the year one does demonstrating. Beside these remarks I often heard positive ones but can't say for sure which more which less. All this doesn't bother me because each of us is an own character. I show, I explain and I try to give all those peoples something to think about. What happened later when they are back at home we mostly never find out. Why do I like bobbin lace making or embroidery or pottery or photographing to be honest first I had to think about. I like to do something with my hands. I prefer lacemaking because, after a learning period, I could do things I design, I like the wooden things in my hands and their lovely noise in my ears, it is a nice feeling having "produced" something own. Another wonderful effects of this doing is that after a while all problems go out of the door (for a while) and so it is relaxing poor. And last but not least, I like to show other people how to make such things, how to find out how to design an own idea, to look what color what stitches will fit. And I like to find out about all those people making lace a long time before us, how lace was used and so on, and so on...
