Dear Carrie, There has been a wonderful development during the pandemic. The Lace Museum in Sunnyvale, CA has perfected the art of the online lace class. You take it using two devices, for instance your computer and your smart phone, the smart phone positioned over your pillow so that the camera is on your pillow. There is a device you can buy to hold the phone that is nominal in cost on Amazon. Karen Thompson, the teacher, is a renowned âhand-holderâ, very encouraging, etc. The classes get rave reviews. There is a beginning class and continuing intermediate classes. Go to the following link and scroll down to the bottom to find her classes. Maybe along the way there will be something else that catches your fancy. https://thelacemuseum.org/virtual-education/ For more inspiration, visit the Threads of Power exhibit at the Bard Graduate Center. It promises to be the biggest lace exhibit held in New York in easily 50 years with 150 objects coming from St. Gallen, Switzerland. It opens Sept. 16. https://www.bgc.bard.edu/exhibitions/exhibitions/118/threads-of-power Devon

It has been a big mental block for me to sit back down and adjust lacemaking to my physical realities. I also am just frankly not good at pushing myself (push myself fine at work but not here, and that probably says something about me. Came to King of Prussia but ended up back in the hospital so any confidence I had was replaced by additional titanium rods in my spineb - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
