Thank you Jeri for letting us know of the sad passing of Radmilla Zuman, such a talented and highly respected, internationally renowned lacemaker who contributed so much to the lace world at large. Sadly so many mums don't have the luxury of staying at home to bring up their families these days, so miss out on the opportunity of a little 'me' time once they are old enough to go to school, which gave those of us of a similar age, the opportunity to learn a craft such as lacemaking. Life moves at a much faster pace these days with many bonuses in the field of technology etc but also some disadvantages too. The true experts seem mostly to be of a similar age and disappearing from our lives either through tragic illness or just plain old age.
