We are back home at last, after nearly 3 weeks in USA.
The first week was at Convention in Portland, and I thoroughly enjoyed every
moment.
Congratulations to the Portland Lace Group who hosted the event.
Also a big Thank You to everyone I met there for their friendship. My

Clay's right - and surely, like beauty, tedium is in the eye of the
beholder. It's not lacemaking or housework which is tedious in itself; it's
the mindset of the person who's thinking about doing that activity.
And sometimes even cleaning the bathroom is not tedious if I have something
Hello all,
I too am finding this conversation very interesting.
There are a couple of things that I would be interested to know:
1. How dramatically have enrolments of young people, let's say under 20,

you use a scrap of it to burnish the rough surface. Sandpaper will
work too or an emery board - the last being in every lacemaker's kit
yes? They come in so handy.
