Re: [lace] The Collecting Bug poem
Hi Arachnids, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! Thank you Noelene for your most apt poem. Any lace maker will be able to recognise her- or himself. I certainly do, except that I love using my fancy bobbins. Happy lace making, Joepie in East Sussex, UK.

Worst of all are fancy bobbins<---/ \> So try to tame your spending bug Before your money's zero. Don't forget that all you need Are bobbins, thread and pillow. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] The Collecting Bug poem
A new poem for the New Year: It's great to be a lacemaker With bobbins, thread and pillow But then you starting collecting "stuff" And cash flies out the window. Worst of all are fancy bobbins Only seen once in a while So they have to be acquired at sight And added to your pile. You don't really have to have them Your dowel sticks would do just fine. But an irresistible urge digs in Which says "That bobbin's MINE". Then each bobbin needs its spangles And beads sparkle there like jewels. Then more beads and yet more beads And the wire and crimps and tools. Books and patterns always tempt one To last a life (or six, perchance) 'Cause in no time they are out of print So "buy now" or miss the chance. Lots of thread goes without saying Colours are a must Then fabric, fansticks, pictures .. By now the budget's bust. So try to tame your spending bug Before your money's zero. Don't forget that all you need Are bobbins, thread and pillow.
