[lace] The dress has finally been used!
Around a year ago I posted a picture of the baby christening dress I had made some years back, 1992 - 1997, designed by Veronica Sorensen and in her book Modern Lace Designs. The dress has languished in the drawer (wrapped in acid free tissue paper and unbleached muslin) all these years, occasionally coming out for a brief showing at a Lace Day. Today, Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012, the dress was finally used as it was intended. My granddaughter Amelia Caroline was baptized and she wore the dress. What a lovely 13 day old baby girl she is... I've posted 2 pictures of her wearing the lace dress on webshots. Pictures 2 and 3. http://community.webshots.com/album/579942410PmmurI Best Regards, Carol Melton Valley of the Sun Phoenix, AZ USA - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] The dress has finally been used!
That certainly turned out to be a worthwhile effort - both making the dress and waiting for the baby! Both are beautiful. Wonderful to see such a lovely dress being used. A member of our Guild made a matinee jacket when her own children were teenagers already. When the jacket was finished she wrapped it and gave it to herself for Christmas!! Her children were not amused at all!! It gave the Guild members a good laugh though.

The dress and baby look beautiful. What pretty names the parents have given their daughter - most suitable for one who was to wear such an elaborate dress.

As someone who has an aversion to babies (you can't have an intelligent conversation with them and they just eat, sleep, cr*p and cry), I have to admit that the dress is really set off by having a baby's head on top of it. A lovely family heirloom for future generations. Great job. Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace-chat] Borrowing film and card
Afternoon all Now does anyone have any idea what the Borrowers were using my pricking card and blue film for?? Off on a Lace Weekend in a few weeks and I need to get the pattern pricked and the bobbins wound. Yesterday I went looking for my blue film and card in the cupboard where I knew it was... It was NOT!!! Searched for an hour last night before giving up this morning I decided to get the bobbin winder out of the cupboard (yes, the same one) and there was the card and film!!! Oh, and the winder was there exactly where I knew it would be My DH says that it 'just popped out of existence' yesterday think he's been watching too much sci-fi I much prefer the puzzle of what the borrowers were using it for Any ideas??

Re: [lace-chat] Borrowers???
Are you sure you do not have a resident ghost? When that happened at our business, the employees always blamed the ghost. He loved to play tricks on them, taking things then putting them back right in the middle of the work table. And..Yes...We DID have a ghost. It was seen by several people. My DH saw it clear enough and often enough to describe him and his clothes, and was able to track down in local history his identity. Meanwhile... I don't have a ghost at home,and I'm also missing my new double-sided tape. What *must* the borrowers be doing with all that tape?

RE: [lace-chat] Borrowers???
I am always having something take legs so to speak and then suddenly appear out of the blue in the same place I originally checked for it and couldn't find it. VERY old house so yeah could be the ghosts of my grandparents, great grandparents or even my mum...maybe just to let me know they are paying attention? Always found it rather odd since when it is FOUND it is blatantly obvious and you could never have accidently missed seeing it the first time. My son says gremlins I sort of like your husband's version...that is very likely...I love physics and I would say it sort of popped into another dimension then back again. There are theories out there by some very learned physics professors that it could very well be...in fact we may be popping in and out of this Universe off and on too. Sure would explain a few things.

Re: [lace-chat] Borrowers???
So that is where my mind goes when I get absent minded! Sometimes I think I forgot it somewhere else. Could be I'm the one popping in and out and misplacing my things in that other dimension. The nice thing about losing things for a long period of time is that when I finally find them, they are new to me all over again. (I don't see how the Borrowers could carry off my old Minnie Pearl banjo uke, but who knows? Maybe some of them are living in it?)
