Second the motion...I ride at a show hunter barn where manes are pulled
regularly so we can braid for shows. It wouldn't take long to get enough to
stuff a small pillow.

   I have 2 large Straw-filled cookie pillows - 24inch diameter. (A
couple
 of
   hours of blood, sweat, and tears to make each one, but they will
last
   forever!).
   I also have a beaut 18inch Horsehair cookie pillow, a single sided
 Honiton
   pillow, a small Travel pillow, a larger roller pillow ( thick felt on
a
   rolling pin, and mounted in a box, with a foam cushion cut to make the
   rest.), and a 10 inch square pillow, that fits into a polystyrene
  rest.
   This pillow is made from 2 thick felt pads, each about an inch deep,
so
 it
   is a 2 inch deep pillow. The felt pads were from underneath old manual
   typewriters. - Remember them???!!!  They make beaut pillows, and pins
 sit
   well in them, as the felt is so dense.  My big roller is made from the
 the
   same felt.
   I have a couple of Polystyrene foam squares made into pillows for
   demonstrations. - Good enough for the bandage in coloured threads,
and
  for
   folks to have a few minutes trial.
   They are kept stacked against the wall in the sewing room between
the
  wall
   and the sewing table.
  
   To Helen in Denver - perhaps you should lend your empty pillow to
your
   darling little daughter, and keep her interested in the craft!  The
  pricking
   could be offset towards the front, if the pillow is a bit big for her.
 ( I
   may have to think about buying her a pillow of her own for Xmas!!)
   And Yes, I Know - one of the Straw pillows was made for you, many
years
   ago! :))  You will have to come and get it, if you
  want
   it!! :))   :))

Re: [lace] Ornery?

I think of ornery as a cowboy word. It means contrary, stubborn, bent on
having (it's) own way. Think of a child scowling at a dish of oatmeal that
he refuses to eat.

 Just to be ornery

 Just what does ornery mean?  I've seen it used by Americans many times
and
 never been quite sure...

Wow, Thanks all you Spiders for the advice about the shawl. I guess I'm
committed now. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Your mention of a bobbin lace shawl caught my attention. I'd really like to
make one but too new at this to design myself. I've been looking for
patterns. Any suggestions? Thanx Pat from PA where it's a sunny day at last
