[lace] Bursting with Pride ...
Hi All, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and that 2010 will prove happy and healthy, peaceful and prosperous for you all! I hade a strange Christmas, culminating in the best news ever, with just a little worry along the way!On the 20th Dec., after three days of quite deep snow, very unusual for the East Anglian region, my heating system failed, so I went to my daughter's for the afternoon and night. Thankfully, I was sleeping there when Claire, 32 weeks pregnant, had a bleed, and went into hospital, so I was on tap to look after my grandson.Claire came out of the hospital late on the Monday, but had to return for injections to make the baby's lungs viable just in case the babe came early.Same Monday, I had to go home in the morning to await the arrival of the plumber, who duly arrived, and thought he'd fixed the heating and the water. Not so! About eight that night, there was a horrific noise like a cat being strangled, and the system died once more.I was starved with cold, so on Tuesday morning, I abandoned ship and hurriedly went to my parents' in North Norfolk.We had a quiet, but enjoyable, Christmas, but couldn't raise Claire and her husband on the phone on Christmas afternoon.She had been taken into hospital, and her baby - Phoebe Isobel - weighed in at 5 lbs 11 oz, at ten in the morning on St Stephen's Day. The baby is still in intensive care, but is doing well, and all the medics are pleased with her - I came back home to help provide food and all the other incidentals like washing and ironing of clothes for the family, and also visit my new grand-daughter. She is beautiful, and seems tiny, but is gorgeous. However, being an early baby, the crochet jacket, and hat I made for her will doubtless not be fitting her for another six months!(That was the lace part!) I am now making a very simple crochet shawl for her - thankfully, crochet grows quickly - which I will hope to finish by the time she is released from hospital. But - a wondeful Christmas present, for the whole family, especially when it is close to the first anniversary of my husband's passing last January. Love and God Bless you all, and do keep Claire and Phoebe in your prayers, and hope that they'll both be out of hospital very soon.

Congratulations to you all. Hope baby Phoebe is soon home where she belongs. 5lb 11oz is a good weight for eight weeks early; it won't be long before she fits into the regular 'first size' clothes and you'll be busy making the bigger sizes!

[lace] bakery table
Some time ago, perhaps years, the Dutch group LOKK presented a bakery table, a table full of lacemade cakes and cupcakes and other goodies. It may have been as far back as the OIDFA Congress in Ghent. I think I may have seen pictures of it on line. Does anyone remember this? Do I have my facts right? Can anyone set me straight and tell me where to find the booklet on the exhibit that was for sale at the time? Many thanks.

Re: [lace] bakery table
Hi, Tess - The project you are referring to appeared in three books by Annelies de Kort - Van Zijderveld from the Netherlands, called A Taste of Lace. Her website is www.anneliesdekort.nl and I do see a little picture of the bobbin lace pastries on the home page, tho it is not clickable. We at the Metro Chapter of IOLI made quite of few of the delectable pastries which were used as the grand prize at our Lace Day in 2005. Through the generosity of the winner we have since been able to display them in various library exhibits. In fact I brought a few of those with the fruit on top to show to the pastry maker at a local marvelous and authentic French pastry shop, because they were absolutely identical to some pastry that he makes and sells! Again this makes me wish that we at Metro had a website with photos of our work - maybe soon.

Hi All, One of the early issues of Lace Express (about 1998) has a good range of cakes, and other food. Could look it up if anyone is interested.

Re: [lace-chat] Fancy asterisks
Hi Brenda, I found it on our upstairs Apple, it is a US Flag, but it was not on my MacBook Pro. My DD helped me find it and I now have it on the top bar and available should I need to add something special to my emails. Thanks for your help.
