Well, it is almost here. I spent the afternoon gathering my bobbins and threads from my stash for my classes at the IOLI convention in San Antonio, Texas. Taking Hinajosa, Amelia Ars and the Idjria jewelry class on Wednesday. What are you taking?
Unfortunately I have not heard back from the local co-hosts regarding a space for our Arachne get together, unlike last year when it was all arranged for us (thank you). The hotel has a lunch buffet arranged, but I don't know if we might be able to sit together. If anyone arrives before Saturday and has time to look around, maybe they can spot a place for us to gather. If not lunch, maybe we can hang around after the dinner on Monday as we will have had time to hit the sales rooms earlier. It could be announced at the opening reception or the Monday dinner. I'm bringing some items for our free raffle just in case we do meet. I will be bringing a couple of items for the display room but will not be entering the competition this year. I am sure there will be lots of entries though. I already have made 3 fans and don't need any more. I had the whole month of May showing my lace pieces in the lobby of the clubhouse of our subdivision, changing the display once during in the month. It was well received and I got many compliments from people who have never seen hand made lace before. On International Lacemaking day I sat in the atrium during the afternoon and had lots of interest.
