Jenny, I think that your lacemaking friends will have had their esteem boosted& be grateful to you for as long as they make lace.
I also am waiting for the patterns from the Xmas cards to be published soon.

This is because in Europe the school curriculum dictates that a student learns the mother tongue& two other languages. This is compulsory! In Soviet times the schools in Estonia taught Russian, as well as German& Estonian. Now students learn Estonian with English as first 2nd language& then they can choose between Russian, German,& recently French. Other languages are offered at Tertiary Level. But I don't understand why Russian people don't seem to know English! The country is one of the competitors in the Eurovision Song Contest but not a member of the EU! Happy 100th International Women's Day! I'm having pancakes for lunch today, as it is Shrove Tuesday!
