Fwd: [lace] Question about beads
BE CAREFUL when using Swarovski crystals, too...I "always" use seed beads on each opening any time I am working with thread. This might even be true of crystals from other countries, also.

Re: [lace] Estate planning
Yes, Lyn, and I thank Jane. I have saved this..as I am nearing the place where I will soon have dispose of over 30 years of lace books and "stuff". I still lace a bit, and love all the books and simply cannot bring myself to disposing of all the printed matter and materials. I still instruct folks in beginning lace, am expected to be a source information of any related topics. This last is a laugh:))) but I try. So long as my bifocals allow me use the small pillows I will plug along making little lacy gifties. My family always want what comes off of the pillow, shuttles , needles and hooksand, as I am past 86, we will soon be a five generation family..so lots of gifts to make.and so little time. Right this minute I am knitting. Tomorrow, who know what will inspire my fingers!?

Re: [lace] Old lace magazines
I just sent an email by mistakewas not ready As I was saying. Miriam and Karenoh my, this IS a problem! Both for books and publications! I started lacing in1970 and the amount of materials I have accumulated is mind boggling. At half past 85, I am still teaching a bit and, being in good health, not ready to clear out, but one day my kids will want to know what to do with all the goodies. We need regional clearing houses...any one have any ideas??? This last thought has started my wheels spinning, albeit slowly. I will keep thinking...you, also?

Re: [lace] eyesight
I have to jump in hereI made lace etc, for 30 + years...still do, on a small scale . Like my father and one son, I have never had too working eyes. I have driven a motor home all over this country. I know that I have no depth perceptionbut one does adjust, sometimes a lot!!! Doris Southard used to tell me about a blind lacemaker in Pittsburgh . As the lady used to knit, also, Doris (who was a braillewriter for the Iowa university system) would Braille knitting instructions for her. So yes, impaired eyesight does not need to be a problem..depends on the sight in the ' good eye'. At half past 85, I need to use a pillow that I can tuck up to my tummy...so it works for all my needs. Actually it is really easier to tat and beadbut hard not to lace a little.just a little so I can still remember enough to help beginners I have lurked on this list since 'round about '98...always reading with love and thanks for all the sharing.

[lace] been following this string with interest.
I have to jump in herethe first person I ever saw making bobbin lace was me! Since the mid 1930's I knew and was curious about the 'pretty lady making lace on the big pillow'as described by a museum guard. Living close to NYC, one of my playgrounds was the NYC art museum. Finally, in the late 1960's, I learned WHAT she was doing! Thus started a love affair. Any more detail is burdensome.

I have the pricking for the triple swan. I wonder if there some text that I do not have...that might answer some questions regarding metallic threads, stitches, and assembly I bought the material for this ages ago...then I broke my arm and, after several years and three surgeries, I think I am confidentantly back to lacing againready for a real project. .
