I have one of those here. She's part Great Dane and part Catahoula. As
much as she sheds, you'd think she'd be completely bald by now. I sweep
the floor and turn around only to find little dog hair tumbleweeds

Hi all,
I also have two curious cats and a dizzy (and very hairy spaniel) dog who all
love to 'help' make lace. The cats vie for my lap when tatting (prefered) and
love to sit on my shoulder like parrots to watch the bobbins when I have a
pillow out. The dog is always at my feet when I
I found this on the new book shelf at the library and read it. It isn't really
about lace makers although they get passing mention as part of the old history
of the area. The women in the subject family have "the sight" and do lace
readings like a form of fortune telling. Viewing through the lac

Lacemakers,
Type "the lace reader" into the search engine and you will find a website from
the author of the book. She gives a glimpse into the first two chapters and a
history of Ispwich lacemaking. Nice reading. Book might be fun ...

It was a very fleeting glimpse of Queenie Massey 'lacemaker and beekeeper'
making lace.
I don't think she would have made much of a living at the speed she was
working but looked to have a very fine collection of bone bobbins to work
with!
Some years ago I found a picture of the real Queenie in a

The front of the Boston Globe has an article on it. I think this is the URL

Twice a year? That's what we'd been told -- years ago -- when we got
ours (Irish Setter, now deceased). In practice, the "sheds twice a

Hi Janice -
I got this table before Christmas. The tilting part is about 15.5" X15.5" It
has a lip on the top and bottom which holds things more securely. I agree that
it probably isn't big enough for anything but the smallest pillow.
I haven't tried to use it for my pillows, but instead use

The fine undercoat of an Alaskan Malamute can also "add" to the lace projects.
My Honiton Teacher always wanted to know where I found thread that has a

Dear Arachne,
There's been mention lately of cats in the lacemakers' houses. How many do we
really have? Send note privately and I'll report later.
There's 9 here. Only one loves bobbins. I have a "cat-free" lace room.

Hi Arachnes,
I see that Walgreens are advertising the rolling tray table again for $17.99.
It is the one with a split top where you can tilt the larger side of it. I am
curious, did anyone purchase this table, and if so, what size pillow can you
put on the tilting part? In the picture it loo

I have a small skein of winter body hair combed out from one of my (now
demised) horses that was spun for me. It's very loose and I haven't yet
thought of a use for it. It's kept in acid free tissue paper and every now
