[lace] I won a drawing
It has been some time since the lovely sparkling spider arrived in my mailbox all the way from England, thanks to Pauline and the gods who decide who wins drawings. I had of course written my thanks to Pauline and had sent Arachne my delight at such an unexpected gift. Then odd things happened. I couldn't find a couple of important Professor-related postings, so I wrote Avital to see if they had appeared. She did a careful search, found nothing, and suggested that I go into my Mail folders and see what might be lurking. She was right, of course: there were four unsent emails, one thanking Pauline for the spider and another the missing posting telling you all how delighted I was to receive such an unexpected present. For some reason, the computer had decided that it didn't want to work that day (even Macs have off days!) and all my efforts had gone for naught. Well, it's all sorted out now, and I just want everyone to be sure to know that the beautiful sparkly spider has an honored spot on my beret and that I am very grateful indeed for Pauline's generosity. We are all so lucky to have Arachne to brighten our lives. Thanks, Avital, for clearing up the mystery. And thanks, Pauline, for thinking of me.

[lace] Christmas lace exchange
Hello, This morning I received not just one, but two Christmas decorations from Chris Vail from Illinois! One is a tatted ornament done from a picture on Mark Meyer's Tat-Man site. It is done in 3 colors. Very nice. The other one is Snowland, a knit Christmas ornament created by Chris! It is a green Christmas tree, outlined in a darker green and having tiny bead decorations, a white surrounding background, all in a gold covered wire frame with a hanger to put on a Christmas tree or on a window. That really turned out very nice! Thank you so much, Chris! Our lace meeting is this coming Saturday, and I will take these ornaments and the one I received from Jane Dobinson last week along for show and tell. Thank you so much, Bev, for organizing this exchange! Annelore Stone in the shadow of Mt.

[lace] lace card
Dearest spiders and especially Carol in Salem, Oregon, USA, Today the mailman brought a beautiful Torchon Christmas ornament with a little dove charm. The package only took 7 days to get here - I was so afraid it would get lost, as I'm learning other things are getting lost in transit. (in all fairness, the Postal Service is doing pretty good. The commercial shippers are way behind). Anyway... the ornament is green sparkly thread, kind of a circle with the little dove in the center, and CLEAN!! Since I don't own a digital camera, I'll take it to the office and get a picture of it there. cleanliness - nothing disparaging against Carol, my other ornaments were rather nasty thanks to evil roaches. And I get excited over any little bit of good news these days.

[lace] Cretan lace
I have just been asked if it is possible to buy the little book on Cretan lace which was put out by the Greek lacemakers some years ago and which will be the subject of one of the workshops at the OIDFA Congress in May. Here is what I wrote: The easiest way to get this book is to download it from http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html Go to the site, then click on Books, then scroll down about 10 books until you come to : Koustouraki-Koukoulari, Kristina. Cretan Bobbin Lace [Kritiko Kopanelli], 1985, 43 pages. Note: Translation from the Greek. Provided by Tess Parrish. Posted September 25, 2002. CD (HWDA11). CD (LDA01). SAMPLE PAGE. File size 5.3 MB PDF Koustouraki-Koukoulari, Kristina. Kritiko Kopanelli, 1985, 46 pages. Note: By permission of the author. Posted October 30, 2002. CD (HWDA11). CD (LDA01). SAMPLE PAGE. File size 7.4 MB PDF Koustouraki-Koukoulari, Kristina. La dentelle crétoise aux fuseaux [Kritiko Kopanelli; Cretan Bobbin Lace], 1985, 43 pages. Note: Translation from the Greek. Provided by Tess Parrish. For illustrations, see the original Greek or the English translation. Posted September 25, 2002. CD (HWDA11). CD (LDA01). SAMPLE PAGE. File size 1.3 MB PDF You will see that the book is in the original Greek, a complete English translation, and a French one. The English and French are both in the Western alphabet. The Greek is of course the original. It is not a large book, so you shouldn't have too much trouble downloading it. As it is a small paperback, you would be getting pretty much exactly the same as buying the book in Greece. You can also find it on lace CD#1.

My son sent me this today. Some of you may still remember Dr Penny Boston - she used to be on Arachne ages ago -- and might be interested in the article. PS She's still making lace. http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1798.html I randomly read this article this morning, thinking it looked kinda cool (it was linked from slashdot), and saw her name.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: little Old lady and Football
Haven't seen this one before... Beware of little old ladies :) From: L.F. A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two plastic garbage bags with her, one in each hand There's a hole in one of the bags, and every once in a while a $20 bill is flying out of it onto the pavement. Noticing this, a policeman stops herMa'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag... Damn! says the little old lady.I'd better go back and see if I can still find some. Thanks for the warning! Well, now, not so fast, says the cop. How did you get all that money? Did you steal it? Oh, no, says the little old lady. You see, my back yard backs up to the parking lot of the football stadium.Each time there's a game, a lot of fans come and pee in the bushes, right into my flower beds! So, I go and stand behind the bushes with a big hedge clipper, and each time someone sticks his little thingie through the bushes, I say: $20 or off it comes! Hey, not a bad idea! laughs the cop. OK, good luck! By the way, what's in the other bag? Well, says the little old lady, not all of them pay up -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Irish Humour
I've had a whole slew of not-so-new-but-funny jokes over the last week, and am trying to decide which ones are old enough to be worth re-posting... I assume all three are sitting in a bar in US or else Oz. If you remember the joke, apologies :) From: D. C. An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scot were sitting in a bar. The view was fantastic, the beer excellent, and the food exceptional. Y'ken, said the Scotsman, I still prefer the pubs back home. Why, in Glasgow there's a wee bar called McTavish's. Now, the landlord there goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy 4 drinks, he will buy the 5th drink for you. Well, said the Englishman, at my local, The Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your 3rd drink after you buy the first two. Ahhh, that's nuttin, said the Irishman. Back home in Dublin there's O'Driscoll's Bar. Now, the moment you set foot in the place they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then, when you've had enough drinks, they'll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All on the house. Well, said the Englishman, did this actually happen to you? Not me myself, personally, no, said the Irishman, but it did happen to me sister. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
