I bought it for a friend here in Canada. He was thrilled as his wife had even
phoned the company to see if she could get the calendar. The Company said they
would not ship it to Canada as the coupons were no good here but for some
reason online they ship it anywhere you want it to go. Who

Hi Kathleen,
My area of study is 18th century hosiery, and I was doing reenactment
of that era for about 18 years. Knitting needles are an even
simpler tool, and can deal with different sizes of items. As a
cottage industry, that's all a knitter would need. Some homes did

I have spent the weekend at an event
in an English castle and I can tell you they are still damp.
Were there any fires inside? Most of the castles we visited in France
were damp and cold, but twice we visited castles where the chimneys
had been restored so they'd made a fire inside - makes a

Hi Mary, Becky, and anyone who has any ideas,
I just finished Nutcracker before Christmas and Mother Ginger was an extreme
problem. I had asked this list for suggestions in mid-November, but only got
one or two replies about using plastic plumbing pipe. That is what we ended up
doing, but

The calendar is even funnier close-up and in person,
I've always had good luck with Margos patterns. It seems to me that no matter

This is the second list I am on with similar discussions going on, about
different eras, but I was getting them confused til I realised it was

It seems that the person who played Mother M in that picture is a guy.
