[lace] Alternative route to Rhiannon's photos.
If any of you are still having problems seeing Rhiannon's photos, I didn't even think of doing a copy-and-paste job. I have the arachne webshots bookmarked (surely you all have too VBG) so I went that route and clicked on newest (as her photos are only recently there). Straight in and hers were the first lot of photos.

Yes, lots of interesting lace. I liked particularly liked the horse too, and thought I'd seen it as being one I intend to do (if I live long enough to do everything intended) and suspected it is by my favourite designer, Michel Jourde, IHO he's a talented designer who's designs have real style and are totally different to all but a couple of other designers. So out with the Lace Express magazines (the hanging pair of bobbins and thread information top left on the pricking is the giveaway that that's where it came from) that I'd packed away - couldn't resist. It's pattern number 10 in the 2/2004 issue of Lace Express, and *is* by Michel Jourde. Thanks to Aleksei Karpenko for telling me that the pattern I couldn't place in the 4/2004 issue is pictured in the 3/2004 issue. When I looked at that one, it clearly states that the pattern will be in the next issue. It's an expensive magazine, available only on subsctription or through individual back issues, and, when I mentioned it a few days ago, several people have said that it's outside their budget. I'm having to take a year off from my subscription. But it's on high quality glossy paper with 30 plus patterns in each issue by good designers from around the world. If it was pubished as a book rather than a magazine, it would be considered inexpensive.

I mean that you prepare torchon ground all around the top of the quadrant, then take 2 central pairs and cross them, these 2 pairs have become now weavers. Each one works to right and left respectively; take in one pair from the ground, pin and come back to the middle, then I THINK THERE IS NO PIN, is just a turning stitch; repeat until arriving to the wider part of the quadrant, then leave each row a pair until the end. It is very resumed, but I hope you can understand me the main idea. Anyway, tell us the results please! Carolina. Barcelona.

Don't know about the Lace Express as it is currently but, the first year, *all* it had was patterns - no text at all. So I cut it out after the first year; compared to other *magazines* it was out-of-sight expensive, even then. And now I've cut out La Encajera; they've doubled their price, our dollar has plunged...

Hi All, I'm looking forward to reading other people's responses. It certainly doesn't look very handy for NL with that handle. And if you put the handle between your legs you'd have to lean over so far. Maybe it was a new, modern design that didn't work and that's why we don't see NL pillows like that G. I didn't respond to the question about NL pillows a month or so ago but I have used part of a pool noodle to do NL. It's 2-1/2 (64 mm I think) across so not much bigger than the one on eBay but it's long enough that I wedge it in my lap to have both hands free. I find it very helpful.

Gentle Spiders, So far, so good... There are 18 entries in the raffle - keep them coming. One of the entrants has sent me an URL where the stamp can be seen, so my cack-handedness with the things 'puter doesn't nmatter after all :) See it at: http://www.values.ch/Art-Gallery/Embroidery/embroidery.htm It's the light blue on white background one (now I want the other one, too g) So far, so good... Many of you have sent prayers and good thoughts for my (almost) grandson and, for all I know, the concentrated goodwill might be working; according to today's report, he's about 5% better than he was yesterday - he's still on respirator and totally sedated (4th day), but his hemoglobin count has stopped dropping and has even perked up a bit. It still worries me that nobody knows what's causing the symptoms; in a situation like that, any treatment, necessarily, has to be of the hit-or-miss variety, and what if they *miss*??? It doesn't help that, having risked a surgical procedure to collect samples, the hospital has sent them off to the best in the country diagnostic lab. Which happens to be a military one (ie government-sponsored) and on an extended holiday since Friday; won't re-open till Tuesday, because of the Presidents' Day (at least, the PO and the banks worked both Friday and Saturday, even if they also will be closed on Monday)... Thanks, everyone, for the kind thoughts, and forgive me if I don't answer every message personally. True, I needed a distraction, but I got one :) DH woke me up at 3:30 AM today, with an ailing eye (pruned trees most of Saturday, siuspected a piece of dust). Refused to go to emergency - people get things in their eyes all the time, and, anyway, it's middle of the night; don't want to trouble them for a non-emergency - so both of us spent a wakeful night till 8:30, by which time he thought it might be OK to trouble them... We were told off for not showing up quicker - there's now some damage to the retina - and I've spent most of the day hunting up the prescribed drops (most pharmacies being closed for Sunday and one of the two which was open open out of the product) and then administering them every hour...

[lace-chat] Shopping for ladies UK
This is the wrong time of year to shop for warm clothes in England. Winter might be starting next week (weather-wise), but the shops have spring clothes. Bikinis and other summer wear should be on sale around the end of March (just as spring has officially started) if the time stuff goes on sale for Christmas, etc is anything to go by. Larger sizes are stocked by Evans (a specialist outsize shop), but I at size 24 (22 US) buy my clothes at Bon Marche, who cater for all sizes up to 24. I think the clothes are good quality and very reasonably priced. Some of the stuff is very fashionable, but they also have the classic and everyday stuff, and everything's available in all sizes (although the bigger sizes sell out first). None of the if you're over size 18, you're a frump and don't need anything with style so we don't stock it attitude which is common with most of the major chains. Haven't been in Littlewoods (also reasonably priced) or Marks and Spencer lately, but they're both large chains which carry good quality clothing.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
To my wonderful Secret Pal, Well - the parcel arrived yesterday, on a cold and greyish, depressing morning, and I am delighted to be cheered up by it. The calendar with all those lovely photos of Tasmania is great - so cheerful, and with such arresting scenery. It is so inviting, and I am tempted to look up fares on one of the (cheaper) airlines! The Fish Pepper and the Jade Salt for Seafood smell so enticing - we will be having fish for supper *very* soon indeed - I can't wait to try them both. I loved the description of the Pepper - Hand Ground by Cheerful Trollops ... - and thought that when I am able to stump up for a ticket to Tasmania, there could well be a job opportunity! The notepad is lovely, and will match the mouse mat I received in the previous round - notepads and stationery are always good to receive, especially if you have a 'Stationery Habit' like mine!I could be shut in the Staples superstore, and love every minute. The bookmark is a delight, and will be well-used. I love the tiny little mouse, and he looks such a happy individual I'll have to keep him in *happy* books so he doesn't get depressed. The bobbin is so lovely, and I do thank you for that too - and the tiny little glass mouse. I will spangle the bobbin with him, and will have to look carefully to find beads to match him. In reply to your letter, I don't know an awful lot about the Lace Fair in Grays, but will do my utmost to find out about it, and hopefully, I'll be able to meet you and your lacey friend there!Essex is one of the larger counties, but it would still be a relatively easy journey to get there, but I'll see what more details I can find out, and will let you know, possibly through Brenda! Once again, many thanks indeed for your lovely gifts - I shall look forward to knowing who you are, but in the meantime, many thanks indeed!

I urgently needed a few days holiday, but because I never had any leave due to me, I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a few days leave. I thought that maybe if I acted Mad then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing? I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was Mad and give me a few days off. A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked What are you doing ? I told him I was a light bulb. He said You are mad - take a few days off. I jumped down and walked out of the office.

[lace-chat] Thanks to my secret pal
Dear Secret Pal: It was great to open your package again this month. I just love all of your gifts! I'm really enjoying getting the bobbins. Now I am starting to get a nice collection going. I've been using plain continental bobbins and didn't have very many that were different. You are giving me some great bobbins to show off when I do demos. I really love the perfume and that it is called Pearls and Lace. It smells absoilutely delicious! I love the book on Aromatheraphy, I have a condensed version of this book by the same author, however, this book goes into a lot more detail. It will come in handy with my Reiki and crystal healing. You were asking about Wicca. Well, a shortened version is this: A Wiccan believes in God and Goddess balanced with one another and all of us. We believe that nature and humans are one with Divinity, that we all are Divine and as such would never harm another. I celebrate the Wheel of the Year, 8 sabbats and 8 moon rituals. We celebrate life in all of its ways, death and life. We honor our ancestors and those who have gone before us and we honor all animals, reptiles, birds and fish. So that gives you a small idea of what I believe. Also, this came shortly after my birthday, so it was an added present. I celebrated my 50th birthday with a surprise party given to me by my closest friends. It was such a fun time. I had black, silver and purple candles. I had a black cake with various funny candles on it, such as a R.I.P tombstone, a bottle of Aspirin, a book of Bran, a cane, and a pair of false teeth. And since 50 only comes once in our life, I had a crown and a throne to sit on to open my presents. It was a hoot! I wanted to say how special I think it is that you shared some of your mothers things with me. I think it is really special and I love stones ( I collect them) so that makes the turqoius piece even nicer. I don't spangle my bobbins, however, I do use beads and such with some of my lace pieces, these will be really nice. I'll have to design a lace piece that incorporates the beads you sent. I'll send you a picture when I complete it. That will be a while though, as I am currently in the midst of making a bridal garter for a close friend who is marrying in April. It's a torchon piece with fans and hearts in white with gold gimps. I'm really liking how it is turning out. I've done about 40 inches and I plan to make 60 inches so that it ruffles up really nicely. I was looking through my lace books and surprised myself on how many I have now.

[lace-chat] Buckinghamshire
Thanks for putting up the Bucks site. I spent much of my childhood in Bletchley, and I remember that during the war, Auntie Uncle , who lived opposite, had a boarder lodged with them , who worked at Bletchley Park. They Never knew quite what he did there, but he was a wizard with mending watches and clocks, and he would take them to work, for the quiet times and clean, and repair them, and everyone had the best working clocks in the area!!! These people were (rudely) called Actually's by the locals - they all spoke with Oxford accents, and prefaced everything with Actually,... I often wonmder if he worked on the Enigma machine, or other coded information. I expect so - it was all so 'Hush-Hush.' I went to school in Bedford, and would catch the train there every day from Fenny Stratford station (as it was closer to where we lived). Fenny has the old Roman road - Watling Street going through it.
