Today I had a package delivered.  To my amazement it was a Torchon Lace Book. 
 How wonderful.  I love it, can never get enough of this stuff.

I can't wait until next month.  :)

To my secret pal, I want to start by saying Thank you so much.  First, I love 
the label on the box, the kittens are so cute.  The note you sent was lovely, 
did you make the card?
The bobbins are beautiful, as you must know I am new to lace and all I have 
acquired has either been given to me or I have made, except for the bobbins in 
the dreadful starter kit (they are huge)  :)  and last but certainly not least 
the cover cloth.  It is my first and the hedgehog family are the prettiest 
things I have ever seen, and the fact that you made it makes it all the more 
special.  I haven't used a cover cloth before, I guess because I don't exactly 
know how it is used.  

Thank you again.

OK I guess I'll put my two cents in. 

There is a little hanky,
given to you this wonderful day.
I see it with lace and ribbon.
Such a little treasure in every possible way.

Not sure how the legend started,
but a nice one from above,
just a little way to prove
to someone that you love.

And then one day in the future,
when parents you shall be.
You take the little hanky,
And a bonnet it shall be.

And when your children are all grown,
you snip the cap apart,
And then you have an heirloom,
that will come straight from your heart.

[lace] craft exposure

2004-05-12 Thread Wildgun004smate
Hi all,

Well, I have been exposed to all kinds of crafts, all self taught, not to 
many crafty people in my family.  I have tried to get my kids involved, to no 
avail, they say that's what I am for. :)  They are proud of my accomplishments, I 
think more so with the bobbin lace than anything else.  I guess because it 
looks so hard.  My one daughter is shocked that I have stuck with it so long.  I 
do other things, like knitting, crochet, tat, needlepoint, embroidery, 
macrame, drawing, painting, sculpting, beading, cross stitch...etc...  But bobbin 
lace seems so relaxing to me, even though some things that I do almost seem 
beyond my reach, but my lacing angel Patty, is right there for me and all goes 
well.  
Just thought I would pop in with a thought of my own.

 People always say how mean kids can be, never how nice they can be.


     This story will either make you cry, give you cold chills or just leave
 you cold, but it puts life into perspective!

  At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled
 children, the father of one of the school's students delivered a speech that
would
 never be forgotten by all that attended.

  After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question.
  Everything God does is done with perfection. Yet, my son Shay cannot learn
 things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children
 do. Where is God's plan reflected in my son? The audience was stilled by
the
 query. The father continued.
  I believe, the father answered, that when
 God brings a child like Shay into the world, an
 opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself and it comes in the
 way people treat that child.

  Then, he told the following story:

  Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were
 playing baseball. Shay asked, Do you think they will let me play? Shay's
 father knew that the boys would not want him on their team. But the father
 understood that if his son were allowed to play it would give him
much-needed
 sense of belonging.
  Shay's father approached one of the boys on  the field and asked if Shay
 could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting
 none, he took matters into his own hands and said, We are losing by six
runs,
 and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and
we'll
 try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning.
  In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was
 still behind by three. At the ! top ofFONT  COLOR=#00 BACK=#ff
style=BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff SIZE=5 PTSIZE=18 FAMILY=SANSSERIF FACE=
the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove
 and played in the outfield. Although no hits came his way, he was obviously
 ecstatic just to be on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father
waved
 to him from the stands.
  In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two
 outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base. Shay was
 scheduled to be the next at-bat. Would the team actually let Shay bat at
this
 juncture and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was
 given the bat.
  Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even
 know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.
  However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved a few steps to
 lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact.
  The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.
  The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly toward
 Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground
ball
 to the pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could easily
have
 thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that
 would have ended the game. Instead, the pitcher took the ball and threw it
on a
 high arc to right field, far beyond reach of the first baseman.
  Everyone started yelling, Shay, run to first, run to first. Never in his
 life had Shay ever made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline,
 wide-eyed and startled.

  Everyone yelled, run to second, run to second! By the time Shay was
 rounding first base, the right fielder had the ball. He could have thrown
the ball
 to the second baseman for a tag. But the right fielder understood what the
 pitcher's intentions had been, so he threw the ball high and far over the
 third baseman's head. Shay ran towards second base as the runners ahead of
him
 deliriously circled the bases towards home.
  As Shay reached second base, the opposing shortstop ran to him, turned him
 in the direction of third base, and shouted, run to third! As Shay rounded
 third, the boys from both teams were screaming, Shay! Run home!  

  Shay ran home, stepped on home plate and was cheered as the hero for
 hitting a grand slam and winning the game for his team.
 That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,
 the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of the Divine Plan into this
 world.
  And now, a footnote to the story: We all send
 thousands of jokes through e-mail without a second thought, but when it
 comes to sending messages regarding life choices, people

Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his 
eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirin and a glass of water on 
the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean 
and pressed. Marty looks around the room as sees that it is in perfect order, 
spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and 
notices a note on the table Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go 
shopping. Love You!

So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the 
morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Marty asks, Son, what 
happened last night?

His son says, Well, you came home after 3 AM, drunk and delirious,broke some 
furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you 
stumbled into the door.

Confused, Marty asks, So, why is everything in order and so clean, and 
breakfast on the table waiting for me?

His son replies, Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she 
tried to take your pants off, you said, Lady, leave me alone, I'm married!

Broken furniture - $200.00 

Breakfast - $10.00

Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed an accep-

Hallmark would make Sorry, what was your name again? cards. 

When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the 
game, she'd appear in a little box in the corner of the screen 
during a time-out. 

Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack to the backside 
and a Nice hustle, you'll get 'em next time would pretty 
much do it. 

Birth control would come in ale or lager. 

Each year, your raise would be pegged to the fortunes of

The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO. 

At the end of the workday, a whistle would blow and you'd 
jump out your window and slide down the tail of a bronto-
saurus and right into your car like Fred Flintstone. 

It'd be considered harmless fun to gather 30 friends, put 
on horned helmets, and go pillage a nearby town. 

Lifeguards could remove citizens from beaches for violating 
the public ugliness ordinance. 

Tanks would be far easier to rent.

[lace-chat] I'm fine

2004-04-22 Thread Wildgun004smate
In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde.
 
Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,' asked  the
lawyer.
Clyde responded, Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just  loaded
my favorite mule, Bessie, into the...
I didn't ask for any details, the lawyer interrupted.  Just  answer the
question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?'
Clyde said, Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was
driving down the road.
The lawyer interrupted again and said, Judge, I am trying to
establish  the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the
Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several
weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he
is a fraud.    Please tell him to simply answer the question.
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and
said to the lawyer, I'd like to hear what he has to say about his
favorite mule,Bessie.
Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, Well as I was saying, I had
just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was
driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran
the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown
into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting,
real bad and didn't want to move.
However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was
in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident, a
 Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and
groaning so he went over to her.  After he looked at her, he took out
his gun and shot her between the eyes.
 Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun in hand, looked at me,
and said, How are you feeling?


Now what would you say?

Good evening all,

I have another question, today I received a number of bobbins in the mail, 
they are I believe what you call Brussels.  Skinny on top and a big round ball 
shape on the bottom.  They are beautiful, anyway my question is, are these able 
to be spangled or do they stand as they are.  I seem to spangle everything, 
don't know any better and I like the feel of spangles.  Please let me know 
because I don't want to damage or do anything wrong.  I also with these bobbins 
got a little tiny one that matches the bigger ones.  Is that what they call a 
cow and a half, does it have a purpose other than looking pretty on my pillow.  
I seem to have my own secret pal, except I know who she is..You all are so 
wonderful.

[lace-chat] Fwd: [lace] Ornery?

2004-03-20 Thread Wildgun004smate
I definitely agree with mischievous, although I am originally born in Indiana 
and raised in Texas, so..no, I'm sticking with that.  I have 8 grandkids 
and one in particular is beyond ornery, he is just bad.  :)

p.s. DH said bad, and then changed his mind to mischievous too.  And he was 
born and raised here in WV

Annette in London asked

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

I grew up in south western Pa near the WVa line. My Yankee dictionaries all
give the same definition that others have posted but to me an ornery
child/person is devilish, mischievious. So is that the meaning in a certain
area of the country, in my family or my mind???!

The word hasn't made it this far south! Never met an Aussie that knows/uses
it. They use 'cheeky' instead. I'm wondering what it means to Lynn in
Clarksburg?

Pat from Pennsylvania answered
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.

And Clay said -
Stubborn, mean-spirited, yes.

You've known ornery (pronounces ORN-ree) people.  They're
hostile and angry at the world for no particular reason, and
want everyone else to feel the same way.  But here in the
south, the word is often used in an almost affectionate
kind of way - as in just to be ornery...

Cheers,
Jackie in Brisbane, Australia

[lace] teachers and teachings

2004-03-17 Thread Wildgun004smate
I have been following everyone's conversation in this matter (snoopy Lynn) I 
have not taken any classes however, I do have people from this group helping 
me.  A certain one who has taken me under her wing, so to speak, she sent me 
books, and she sends me drawings of what I need to do.  I just love this group, 
I get so much good input when I show what I have done so far.  Even my 
daughter has told me that she is proud of me, because I usually give up.  So for all 
you teachers out there, please don't be discouraged if a student doesn't do 
what is supposed to be done.  If he or she doesn't do it, it is there own fault. 
 I think to myself ..what could I do if I had someone in person showing 
me.  For now, the Internet is my link and you all are my teachers.  Sorry if I 
am using you.  :)

Thank you,

[lace-chat] somethings wrong

2004-03-08 Thread Wildgun004smate
Hello all,

I keep telling everyone I see not to get old.  I will get up and go to 
another room to do something and forget what I was going after.  Then I cannot sleep 
because I can't remember what I wanted.  I am only 48, but I sometimes think 
that this set in right after my oldest child (son) died at 27.  That was 
nearly two years ago.  I lost my short term memory, I can remember when I was 
eighteen months old, but not the few seconds from one room to the next.  :)

Hello Gentle Spiders,

I am writing this with a question and an apology.  First I received a 
beautiful book in the mail today, it's called Braid Lace for Today, my question 
is...The person who sent me this book, her name is Roslyn Nials.  My apology 
isI am so sorry that I don't recall her email name so that I could properly 
thank her.  If anyone knows her please send me her email address, I have her 
snail mail, as it came with the book.  I feel so foolish, and this is such a nice 
gift.  I know it was meant for me because it had my correct name and address. 
 You people are so wonderful, I have never in my life met people like all of 
you, I feel blessed. 

Thank you for your help,

It was testimony night in the church. A lady got up
and said, We are living in a wicked land where sin is
on every hand. I have had a terrible fight with the
old devil all week. Whereupon her husband, who was
sitting glumly by her side said, It's not all my
fault either; she's tough to get along with.

Waking up after a restless night, the wife turned to
her husband and frowned.  I cant believe it!  All

If you believe in creation as espoused in the Bible,

to have sex with one another for the earth to have

Next day he was telling a neighbor about it. I gave

His neighbor asked what it was called and the old

eight in 10 people polled said lack of respect and

 Three blondes (natural) died and found themselves standing
before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter
the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was.

The first blonde said, Easter is a holiday where they have
a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey.

St. Peter said, Noo, and he banished her to hell.

The second blonde said, Easter is when we celebrate Jesus'
birth and exchange gifts.

St. Peter said, Noo, and he banished her to hell.

The third blonde said, she knew what Easter is, and St. Peter
said, So, tell me.

She said, Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with
the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover
feast with His disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and
the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and
eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a
very large boulder ...

St. Peter said, Verry good.

Then the blonde continued, Now every year the Jews roll away
the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have
six more weeks of basketball.

St. Peter fainted.

Several years ago, after having Japanese executives from
the automotive industry tour a Ford Plant, they held a
press conference in which one of the Japanese execs claimed
that the American workers were slow and lazy.

Not long after, a friend sent me a picture of a bumper sticker
on a truck at the Ford plant. It read, We may be slow and lazy,
but we build a damn good bomb!

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As 
we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The 
saying; If you don't use it, you will lose it, also applies to the 
brain, so. 



Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of 
Intelligence. Take the following test and determine if you are 

Losing it or are still with it. 





OK, relax, clear your mind and begin. 







1. What do you put in a toaster? 











Answer: bread.  If you said toast, then give up now and go do 
something else. 



Try not to hurt yourself. 



If you said, bread, go to Question 2. 







2. Say silk five times. Now spell silk. What do cows drink? 



















Answer: Cows drink water. If you said milk, please do not attempt 
the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may 
even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with 
reading something more appropriate, such as Children's World. 



If you said water, proceed to question 3 









3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made 
from blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a 
black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made 
from? 



















Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, green 
bricks, what the devil are you still doing reading these 
questions? 



If you said glass, then go on to Question 4. 







4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. 
If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West 
Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the 
engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine 
is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. 
Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt 
an emergency landing, and the plane crashes smack in the middle 
of no man's land between East Germany and West Germany. 





Where would you bury the survivors? 

. . in East Germany or West Germany or in no man's land? 













Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING 
else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone 
from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated 



If you said, Don't bury the survivors, proceed to the next 
question. 











5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute 
how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour? 













Answer: One degree. If you said, 360 degrees or anything other 
than one degree, you are to be congratulated on getting this far, 
but you are obviously out of your league. Turn in your pencil, and 
exit the room. 



Everyone else proceed to the final question. 







6. Without using a calculator --You are driving a bus from London to 
Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In 
Reading, six people get off the bus, and nine people get on. In 
Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people 
get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and 
five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get 
on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.What was the name of the 
bus driver? 



















Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!! 



Now pass this along to all your friends and hope they do better 
then you did!

I was sitting here staring at my computer and decided to drop a note.  I 
wanted to say how special this group of people are to me.  You have opened your 
hearts and shared your wisdom, even some of you have share treasures with me.  I 
have received several books, coins, bobbins, thread, and even pricking cards 
and spangling wires.  I am amazed at how you all are willing to share your 
kind gifts but your knowledge in this wonderful art that I am trying to learn.  I 
hope someday that I too, will be able to share with someone just learning.  
This experience is to say the least the most pleasurable experience that I have 
been fortunate to receive.  I thank you one and all.  And each time I look at

Subject:  Tree Hugger 
A lady from Missoula, Montana who was a tree hugger and an  anti-hunter, 
purchased a piece of timberland.   There was a large tree on one of the highest 
points  in the tract.  She wanted to get a good view of the natural splendor of 
her land so she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top, she 
encountered a spotted owl that attacked her.
 In her haste to escape, the lady slid down the tree  to the ground and got 
many splinters in her crotch.
 In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest country doctor. She told 
him what an environmentalist
 and anti-hunter she was, and how she came to get all the splinters.
 The doctor listened to her story with great patience  and then told her  to 
go into the examining room and  he would see if he  could help her.
 She sat and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared.
 The angry lady demanded, What took you so long?
  He smiled and then  told her, Well, I had to get permits  from the 
Environmental Protection  Agency,
 the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before  I could remove 
old-growth timber from a recreational  area and I'm sorry, but they all 
turned me down.

2004-02-01 Thread Wildgun004smate
Does anyone know if there is somewhere to order special order bobbins.  Just 
a pair.  My oldest child (a son) died, it will be two years in May, and I 
thought I'd like something special with his name or something.  I miss him 
terriblyhe was 27.

OK since the subject of a bobbinmaker has been brought up.I was wondering 
if anyone has ever seen or knows where to get a doll bobbin maker.  I love 
collecting dolls and think this would be a special treat for my collection. :)

Hi ya'll,

It's me again and I finally finished the bookmark, and I was given my diploma 
g :) from the lady in England.  Now the big thing is if anybody has any 
patterns (with instructions) that they would like to share, I would be greatly 
appreciative.  DH and I live on a fixed income but I want more to do.  I would 
love to learn about tape lace and sewings.  Not quite sure what thats all about 
but I am willing to learn.  Anyway thats it for my begging and I promise to 
work hard and lace happy. :)

Thanks,

Hi, 

It's me again, still wondering about the footside.  Here is a picture of what 
I have done and the other is a picture of what I am supposed to be doing.  If 
I work from right to left at a downward slant how am I supposed to do the 
footside on both sides.  I can almost see it in my mind I just can't convert it 
to the lace.  If anyone has any suggestions I would be greatly appreciative.  I 
told you guys I was new at this, shuck I'm still wet behind the ears (so to 
speak)  :).

[lace] bobbins

2004-01-09 Thread Wildgun004smate
Nicky.

I just recieved the bobbins today, they are so beautiful, almost to beautiful 
to use, but you can be sure that they will get much use from me.  If you ever 
have the want or need to downgrade your stash some more please don't hesitate 
to think of me.  It is quite hard to come accross things like this.  Again 
they are absolutely exquisite.  I will from the history along with your note, I 
haven't recieved mail from over-seas since DH and I lived in Germany 
from1975-1978.  You know they say when you go over seas you either get a coo-coo clock 
or a baby, well I had one born in Frankfurt and was pregnant with another when 
we came back to the states.  I am still waiting on that darn coo-coo clock.

[lace] lace

2003-12-23 Thread Wildgun004smate
Hello all,

 Well I am the new one who is just learning to do bobbin lace.  I finally 
got to make some lace, it is torchon ground, and looks like real lace.  Oh 
my, I am so giddy, I am still having trouble with the footside.  This piece of 
lace has a footside on each side.  It involves 20 pairs of bobbins, and I am 
doing it on a downhill angle.  The side where I add bobbins looks good (the 
right hand side) the left hand side sucks.  Oh well, practice, practice.  I did it 
in color so I could see how the pattern works.  I am still to do it in white, 
however, I need to work on the left footside and the tension.  But wow, my 
first lace.  :)   Sorry I could ramble all night. 

Well God Bess you all, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year,  I hope all your 
hopes and dreams come true. Thank you for being such a cool group to be a part 
of.

Hello all,
   
I am new at bobbin lace, I find it quite intriging.  I have found a woman 
online who is tutoring me for free, she is a Godsend.  She will not let you 
continue to new lessons until she feels your ready, this is done by scanning 
your work and sending it to her.  If you have any questions shes right there, 
and believe me I am full of questions.  I can't get enough of this stuff, the 
more I learn the more I want to learn.  I hope some day I can master this 
beautiful art form.  Thats what it is to me, not  a hobby.  Well I guess thats it 
for my book unless anyone knows where to locate free prickings.  Don't mean to 
be cheap just frugal.  I had a friend of mine make a skeleton of a roller 
pillow and I finished it out just like I wanted it.  I am quite proud.  I gave 
him some instructions for bobbins so he'll be working on those for me.  We 
barter back and forth.  Well again thats it.  see ya later.
