The "patience" comment always comes up whether I am tatting, bobbinlace or whatever. I, too, tell them I have no patience. And my wife reiterates that statement emphatically LOL!! I only have patience for what I want to have. Example: tools that don't work, operator error, inanimate objects that get in my way. I am one to hold it in and then blow up my temper at the silliest objects. I then state that I acquire the patience to do what is fun and bobbin lace to me is fun. And therapy after having a fit with some inanimate object HAH ;) -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html email: tat...@tat-man.net Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/tatmantats - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
