[lace] Re: inventoryr of bobbins
My DH doesn't concern himself with my tools. I don't say anything about his automotive repair tools.G No need to worry about talking in my sleep. But the point is -- An inventory of tools is needed for insurance purposes. It can just be pictures of groups of bobbins laid out on the bed or table. Decorated ones should be close up enough to see the decoration. Plain ones could be laid out in larger bunches, as long as each one is visible and can be counted. Putting all of a style in one picture would give a basic count. Put a sign in each picture with the name of the bobbin type, the number of bobbins in the picture and possibly even the average price and total value for that group. That would save counting them more than once. The pictures would be proof of the existence of claimed bobbins in case of disaster. Have the pictures stored somewhere other than your home. Digital pictures can go on a computer and be stored in an online facility, or put on a disk and stored with a relative or at work. Or print out the pictures and give to a lace friend to save for you. Do the same thing with your pillows and other lacemaking tools. A non-lacemaker insurance person might not believe a claim for 27 pillows and 2000 bobbins, but pictures could prove it was really more than that. Pictures of your lace projects would be nice for your scrapbook. They would be proof that you use your tools. While you have the camera, take pictures of your bookcase(s) also. Your books may be worth more than all your bobbins. Yes, there are detailed written and computer forms of inventory with each item listed separately with it's history. a picture, and etc. Those are great if you have time and energy. Use the kind of inventory that works for you. Alice in Oregon -- where my big cat's mouse count is now seven.

RE: [lace] Material gifts for needy
Hi, Jeri - I take your point about people making things and giving them away for charity and other good causes. I have done that myself. But I think what Sue was talking about was making things and selling them for less than cost. That is no way to run a business, and even if we were to do it for the joy of making things, we'd still find that earning a living would take priority and we'd have to spend most of our time doing that.

Re: [lace] Material gifts for needy (OT)
Gentle Spiders, I am one of those who make and give away just for the love of doing. I cannot begin to count the afghans (knitted or crocheted) or the quilts made while being a full time care-giver to my precious hubby for many years. These items have been given to nursing home patients as well as to the local CPC (Crisis Pregnancy Center). Currently I serve as co-ordinator for our church's Prayer Shawl/Prayer Quilt Ministry. I am on a fixed income, especially since my hubby's death two years ago but often supplies are given to me by friends, relatives and sometimes complete strangers via the local senior center where I (volunteer) teach needlework skills and quilting. It is a great joy to me to be physically able to share the talents the good Lord has blessed me with and as long as I am able I will continue to share. I was recently gifted with nine large boxes of fabric and 6 large trash bags of yarn just for these purposes. My ladies and I will be busy for quite some time, but what a joy we each receive as we create and share God's love.

[lace] Are you new to lace or was it passed on?
I learned to make lace from my mother, but she only learned to make it three months before I did. We were both entranced with the idea of bobbin lace from seeing it demonstrated. Mom had purchased a book and bobbins, but neither one of us really had the time to sit down and figure things out. When she had the opportunity to learn bobbin lace while on a travel sabbatical, she jumped at it. And when she proudly told me of her lessons, I invoked the family tradition of When one of us learns something, she must teach the other. Over the summer break - I was in college at the time - she taught me the basics. Then she sent me off with Cook's The Torchon Workbook and I kept right on going. My daughter (5) has a pillow of her own now, but we haven't worked on it much. I have the feeling if I worked on mine more, she would feel the need to work on hers.

Dear Margery, The people of the world are really one big family. Some more sharing than others. Norma told us what she does. It is a benefit to those who receive. It could be sold at a minor profit, but it is given. I cannot represent what happens elsewhere, but in America there is a strong sense of need to volunteer skills and materials for everything from school programs that have no funding - to the scouting movement that needs input from experts - to professionals who help rebuild the hopes, the bodies, and the future of our military - to literacy - to whatever you can imagine. Beneficiaries, in time, give back to us because volunteers have built a more solid foundation under them. In the needlework field, there are teachers who waive their teaching fees, so people without necessary funds can participate without calling attention to themselves (a gift that goes to those who could pay, as well as to those who cannot justify spending). Teachers give scholarships. Teachers donate patterns and instructions, etc. simply from the love of sharing a special skill. Lace bulletins in various countries (not commercial magazines) contain information and patterns - all donated. In April's Lace bulletin from the U.K. there is a display ad from the editor that says: It is only possible to produce Lace as a 64 page magazine with you, the members, contributions. The Lace Guild does not commission articles; we rely on you to share your stories, patterns, lace, new ideas, techniques, visits, etc. with our members Everyone has something to contribute and share no matter how small or large it is., etc. And then, there is the example of Liz, who has made Arachne possible.

Thanks to all for your help and information. It seems that the 1970 p. 16 ad for THE BELGIAN WAY OF MAKING BOBBIN LACE by Osma Gallinger Tod is selling for $2.25 which should mean that my copy is older as the price (in my copy) is listed at $1.50.

[lace] Admin: Subscription problems
Dear spiders, If you (or someone you know) is having trouble subscribing or unsubscribing, write to me at spind...@gmail.com or at arachnemodera...@yahoo.com (I check that address about once a week). The yahoo address is at the bottom of every Arachne email. You can use it for questions about the email archives, photos, attachments, viruses, computer problems (within reason!), etc. I live in Israel so my time zone is 7 hours ahead of the US east coast and 2 hours ahead of the UK. I'm off-line during Jewish holidays and Shabbat (late Fri. afternoon to early Sat. evening), but unless I'm actually out of town on vacation I do follow the Arachne list and try to sort out subscription problems behind the scenes. Best wishes, Avital Arachne moderator - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachnemodera...@yahoo.com
