H A P P YB I R T H D A Y to all of us.  !!
It's hard to believe I've been part of it for nine of those years.  We now 
have four times the members that we had when I joined.

It's impossible to list all the lacing information that I've gained through 
this group.  I still have memories of the Arachne 98 conference in 
Nottingham.  It was really special to me -- probably a chance in a lifetime.

I tell my husband that my membership in Arachne is all his fault, so he's 
responsible for all the things I've done with it.  When we got on the 
internet, he demanded that I sit down and type something into the 
Search.  I typed Bobbin Laceand you can guess the rest of the story.

Not only did it lead me to Nottingham, but also to the Lace Museum 
workshops twice, a Regional meeting in North Carolina, many exchanges of 
lace and bobbins around the world, and a great many new friends.  Many, 
many people answered my questions, so I try to give back some of that good 
will by helping newbies.

Long Live the Lace List Let's all give it a toast!
Happy lacing,
Alice in Oregon

[lace-chat] happy birthday to us

The list (just lace and lace-digest then) started 9 years ago today. Hooray
for us. We've got about 1050 unique members across the lists and around the
world today, who'd have thunk it, I sure didn't.

My own life is completely different than it was then, and the last year has
been one of the most exciting, we bought our first home this year, a cozy 4
bedroom house built in the early 1920's and moved in the beginning of
Sept. I spent the next 2 months furiously nesting to prepare for the
arrival of our second baby, Margaret Anne, born Dec 5 in a huge snowstorm
(but I got safely to the hospital in plenty of time). If you've been
wondering why no one has heard from me, now you know :*)

My wish for all of you this year is if your times are interesting, that all
your events be blessed, and if they are peaceful your days are filled with
needlework.

ps - if any of you are in the NYC area and free sunday april 25, you're
invited to the christening party at our place - email me for directions.
