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!

Pene in a slightly warmer (2 deg C) Tartu, Estonia.
