Dear Fellow Lacemakers -
In the past year and a half, I have lost 115 pounds and have given away much
of my wardrobe while enjoying purchasing new things. Now I buy clothes
instead of food. :)
I have four shirts of interest to lacemakers that I am willing to send to
anyone who wants them,

My husband and I went to the Chrysler Museum here in Norfolk earlier today to
see the exhibit From Goya to Sorolla, a visiting exhibition of 19th and 20th
century Spanish masters on loan from the Hispanic Society of America in

lingering in your storage chest or the easy to replace wooden one or one you
simply don't like?? While winding bobbins this morning in preparation for
this weekend's North Carolina Regional Lacemaker's (NCRL) gathering

In addition to lacemaking, I also make Sailor's Valentines. For those of
you not familiar, they are shell mosaics, normally done in octagonal wooden
glass-front boxes (see http://www.sailorsvalentines.com/blanda.htm for

I just got a call from The Lacemaker (Courtland, Ohio) and was told that their
site had been hacked (actually their host) and that financial information had

U, right off hand I am tempted to call it an afficot (used to burnish
threads in a finished piece of needlelace). The hook at the end is a bit of

While reading the newspaper this morning, I cam across a story of a local
farmer just getting ready to open his massive strawberry fields to the public
for pick-your-own delights. Now, spring is strawberry time in Tidewater
Virginia, so this is not particularly unusual. However,
