[lace-chat] Happy Day!!!
Hi all! Today is a happy day! We bought my husband home from the hospitial! He had a stroke on May 17th, and has spent 8 weeks down at St. Lukes. That was a long stay for a stroke, but he also developed pnemonia, sleep deprevation, and a virus that was resistant to regular antibiotics. The people down at the hospitial were great, but am I glad to get my hubby home! I am going to try to get all commerative stuff caught up, and I thank everyone's patience while we were dealing with this situation. Believe it or not, I haven't even been able to touch my own lace in two months! Thanks!

[lace-chat] 2004 commeratives
Hi all! It's time for the 2004 Arachne Commeratives! We have some really lovely stuff this year, and I know that you all will flip when you see the goodies! Our Vendor for this year is Chris Smythe, and you can check out his site at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This year we get a choice of wood or bone bobbins! There are photos on my web site to check out, along with photos of the other items! My web site is: member.aol.com/jspruitt/index.htmWe are still getting everything on the site, but we do have Chris's bobbins loaded, so you can see how great they are! The new item of the year are polo shirts from Lori Howe, they are available in Navy, and in sizes Small to 4XL. She is offering her cover cloths again, the ones with the machine embroidery, and they are available in Navy. You can see them at: http://lace.lacefairy.com/Embroidered/ArachneEmb.jpg These are in addtion to the regularly offered cover cloths, bobbin rolls and sissors cases, plus all the other goodies. Well, here we go! ORDERING INFO FOR USA PEOPLE: Listed below are the items available, and their prices. Choose what you want, and fill out the mailing info. If you e-mail me, to either reserve a previous year item, or ask for any info, I still need your name, address and what you order along with the payment. If you send me a list of things by email, and then just send me the check, I have a hard time putting the check with the order. Please have mercy on me and include what you want with the check. I do have a selection of items left from last year, so if you missed out, you can still get stuff! FOR COUNTIRES OUTSIDE THE USA: PLEASE READ!! When I made out the lists in previous years, I would convert all the prices to the currency of the different countries. I was trying to make things easier by giving the prices that way. The problem is, the rate changes changed so much, some people were having to pay more than they should have. So if it is ok with you all, I am going to post the prices only in the US currency, and if you could take your amount, and run it through a currency converter, you can make sure that you only have to pay the amount needed, and not get caught by the exchange rate pulling a fast one. Check the price list and see who is your contact person. Send them the money, along with the order. They can forward your order to me, and I will fill it out and mail it directly to you. THE DEADLINE FOR ORDERING BY CONTACT PEOPLE IS JULY 30TH.After July 30th, you will need to contact me directly to order. BLESS YOU!!!

[lace-chat] 2004 commeratives
Hi all! I'm going to post the info for the commeratives, and I just wanted to give you all a heads up. My DH and I are still working on getting everything on my web site, but I do have photos of the bobbins there for all to see. They are cool. There is one thing I want to tell everyone. We want to try something new and I hope it works for everyone. When I would post prices before, I would convert the currencies, and that would be the price for the season. Well, last year some people ended up having to pay more than they should, because the currency changed so much between the US and their country by the summers' end. So would it be ok if I just post the prices in US currency? Then when you fill out your order, you run it thru a currency converter, and that way you make sure you only have to pay what you should. I don't want to make extra work for everyone, but I also want the prices to be fair. Hope you all don't mind, if there is a problem please buzz me, and we can get it fixed. Thanks!

[lace-chat] Newsletter giggle
Hi all! I had to share this goodie. My DH does our Christmas newsletter every year, and he really does a great job, with pictures and notes of what we do every year. He has us check our sections to make sure that what he writes is accurate, but he does the photos himself. So I did not see our newsletter until he had printed quite a few copies. Well, when I looked at the final newsletter, I notices that my Miss Channers Mat was included, but the thing was ROUND! I asked him what happened, and he said " I thought that's how it was supposed to be." He actually spent quite some time to "Make it come out right" So if you ever wonder, the mat does look quite lovely round. If I had the talent, I would try to redraft the thing round. Take care!

[lace-chat] Commeratives!!!
Hey everyone! How's it going? Wanted to let you all know that the commeratives for the Lace@arachne.com are coming along nicely. The vendor of the commeratives this year is Roseground bobbins, owned by Pat Hallam and her daughter Pam Sharples. They are goin to make you some really wonderful Midlands, Bone Midlands, Honitons, and Contintials. Pam and Pat will also be offering the spangles. Their website is: www.roseground.com for those who would like to check them out. I am working on the pricing sheets for the various countries, can I put out the word for people to act as contact people? Pam told me that anyone who wants to just order their bobbins, you can order directly from them. We think this will work out to make sure that orders go as quickly as possible. If you write them, they can tell you which methods of payment they will be taking. As in other years, we will also be offering the Divider pins, cover cloths, bobbin rolls, tatting shuttles, and sissor holders. If your order includes any of those items, you can order thru me, or the contact people. I'm getting everything typed up, and will hopefully get it on the list tomorrow. Bless you all!

Hi everyone! Once again it is time for the Lace@arachne.com Commemoratives! Every year we have bobbins, shuttles and other items made up to commemorate the anniversary of Lace@arachne.com coming on to the web.

She brings over 30 years of lacemaking experience for the benefit of Roseground's customers. Pam joined Roseground early in 2004 with the responsibility of all aspects of the newly acquired bobbin business. She learned lacemaking at a young age from her mother and enjoys meeting an serving her lacemaking customers. This year Roseground will be offering East Midlands in wood and bone, Honitons and Contintals. They will also be offering spangles to go with the bobbins. Check their stuff out at www.roseground.com.

In the meantime, you can either order directly from Roseground, if all you need are the bobbins. Pam said that they can take Paypal, as long as the amount is tranlated into GB Pounds, and you can ask if they will take your credit card. If you want any of the other items, you can send the order on to me. We just want to make sure that this year goes smoothly. I can take Paypal and checks. I will send the price lists, like usual, out by country. All you need to do is download your own county, and delete the others. Bless you!

[lace-chat] Commeratives, Credit cards and Oops! I forgot the divider pins!
Hi everyone! I just got a message, and realized that I forgot to put down Divider pins! Yes, they are available, the price is $3.00 US. If you want to know what that amount is without doing a currency conversion, just look at what the price is for shipping and handling, it's the same amount. I also just talked to Pam, she will take credit cards! Isn't that wonderful! She said that she has some photos of the bobbins on her site now, so we can drool over them! Sorry, sorry, sorry about the divider pins!

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] Selling lace (was: popular uses for)
Hi All! All this talk about selling lace reminded me of when I was making a bobbin lace tablecloth. My DH and I would sit on the couch at night, and I would do lace while we would watch TV and talk. One night my DH said "You know, I feel really guilty about just sitting here while you are making that tablecloth, what do I have to show for my time?" I told him, "Hey, go to K-Mart, spend $5, buy yourself a tablecloth, and don't beat yourself up about it. My lacemaking is more about the creation part than actually having a useable item when I'm done." Many times at demos, people will look at my piece in progress and say, "Man, that looks tedious!" I tell them, "One person's tedium is another persons' relaxation." I may have points in a pattern that drive me nuts, trying to make the threads go where they should, but the feeling of WOW when they do is priceless!

[lace-chat] Harry Potter
Hi All! I finished Harry Potter, in fact, I've read it twice, I read really fast the first time just to find out what happened, then I go back to catch what I missed. Some of the stuff was predictable, I'm not saying what, for those who haven't been able to pry the book out of their DO (Dear Other)'s hand. I do have a guess for the last book. I bet we find out that the main reason that Snape hates Harry isn't for what James, his father, did, I bet it's because Snape was in love with Lily. That's the only thing that I can see that makes sense. His price for going to the dark side was that Voldemont has to kill James, but not Lily. When Voldemont does kill Lily, that's when Snape becomes the double agent. Does that make sense to anyone else, or is it just really obvious?

[lace-chat] Re: Convention-me sitting in on Greet's Class
Hi all! I have been reading the letters about me sitting in on Greet's class, and I didn't realize that it would cause such a flurry. Greet had come thru Cedar Rapids on the way to the convention and when she had shown her lace, and the basic stitch, I was floored by the beauty of it! I was very disappointed to think I was too late to take her class, so I bought the book, and was going to buy the class supplies (if she had any kits left over) and try to work it out on my own. When I ran into Greet at the convention, she said that I could take the class in the afternoon. We checked with the committee people to make sure that it was all right, seeing that Greet didn't have more students than she could handle. I did pay the half class fee, full kit fee, and I tried my best to ask questions when she wasn't helping someone else. I thought it was wonderful that they would let me do that, and I really appreciate it. I did do as much homework outside the class as I could, and I do think that I have the basics down pretty well. It is VERY inspiring to continue, especially after seeing Debra Jenny's gold and bead piece! Sigh!
