I am home, now after a visit to USA, - both to family, and to convention,. Lace in both places, but you will be interested in convention, so ...
I took the gold & silver Early Laces, with Gil Dye. It was wonderful - but stretched my brain quite a bit as we worked without any pricking, and then, later on with just a 5mm plain graph paper as guide lines! Challenging, I can assure you!!!! And with metallic threads that have a mind of their own! The big co-incidence is that I bought metallic thread from the Tatting Corner, over there, on line, and had it sent to my daughter to save on overseas postage (so spend a couple of thousand dollars in air fares to collect it personally!!!!!!!!!! :) ) - and Monday morning went to class and chose 'my spot for the week' next to a total stranger. Well, it turned out she spends time helping the lady in the Tatting Corner shop! What are the odds of that happening when there were a couple of hundred people at Convention, - and I picked the right one to sit next to!!!!!!!!! I did some shopping with the vendors - I had pre-ordered some books etc for a couple of good friends over here. I would not get to Lace Days if they did not collect me, and bring me home afterwards, so carrying a few books home for them was fine with me! The bus tour on Wednesday was a very long trip, but I enjoyed it all. We visited The Lace Museum, and Lacis. I was amazed at some of the collection in the Museum. Wonderful;, and what an Aladdin's Cave Lacis is!!! It was a most enjoyable week, - meeting up with old friends, and making some new ones. Thank you to all who made this a great week.
