Hi all -
I wanted to wait until I had the pathology report on my endometrial cancer
before reporting back to you, and thanking everyone for thoughts and
prayers.
The surgery (March 10) went well - I had it my way (spinal as opposed
general anesthesia). I'm recuperating well - and the pathology
I just wanted to thank everyone who answered my question about whether or not to take

50/50 for and agin - I'll decide when I get closer to the date.
For anyone who is interested - it's the big H because of the
I was wondering if anyone has experience in this, and could pass on your
wisdom. I'm facing surgery in 2 weeks - which I will likely have under a
spinal/epidural. (I say that to say that my mind will remain alert post-op;
no guarantees with general anaesthesia) I'm thinking of maybe bringing a
When my daughter was taking some post-secondary education, it came out
(reliably, though off-topic) that maple syrup can serve as emergency
rations. Evidently a person can survive for 30 days on one tablespoon

Just a piece of trivia.

sunny,
I have been asked privately about bookmark prickings - since I sent in an email or 2
to the list about bookmarks - asking where to find prickings for them.
I know that one Arachnean - April - has a booklet of prickings - I have her catalog.
Usual disclaimer.
Could other bookmark makers please
Someone once told me that a mistake is a pattern, or something along that line.
Interesting thought, and I never forgot it.
Last week I was making yet another bookmark, and accidentally forgot to twist the
legs of the first spider. Rather than take it out (the work of a whole minute and a
Here are bobbins for sale on ebay in a shape that I've not come across

type of lace they'd be used for? Or are they lacemaking bobbins at all?

I'm writing 2 separate emails because the two topics are totally unrelated.
I have an aunt, a retired home-ec teacher who has done just about every craft around,

Hi all -
Last year I saw a pillow made of a cut-down cupboard drawer! It made it handy for
carrying, and provided a good angle for the work. At that time, I didn't have any
spare cupboard drawers handy (!!) - now after kitchen renos I do, but can't quite
remember the details. Can anyone

country I get 180 degrees disoriented. One of the worst places for me is the area

Dear lacers -
Since you are such a treasure-trove of information of all sorts, I have a question I
hope someone can answer.

Thank-you for all the responses I got, privately and over the list, to the questions I
asked about determining the length of thread to use in any given pattern (but
especially the bookmarks I'm working at) and ideas for a footstool for when one is
making lace. I was given some

I know that creativity often shows itself in a person in many areas - i.e. if you are
creative in one area, chances are good you are creative in others.
I wonder if some of you who are also creative with pen and ink have thought of

From where is the pattern available? I've been given to understand that it
