Re: [lace] What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
Dear Lace Friends, I am spending the time anticipating the arrival of granddaughter #1!! We are going to make a trip to visit our daughter and son-in-law and grandson #1 in about 12 days. I am making a bonnet for the baby with smocking and a lace back of Bucks Point lace. The pattern is called "Cinderella" by Geraldine Stott. It wasn't a hard choice since my great-great-grandmother's name was Cinderella. She wasn't the first to be named that either, as her mother was also a Cinderella. I wonder what would possess a mother living in the rural south in the early 1800's to name a little girl that. I suppose there has always been some fascination with the story. Then, some of us, like me, get to live our happily ever afters married to our very own Prince Charming's; or Mr. Darcy's ...take your pick.

Dear Agnes et al "Nunsense" is a wonderful American musical set in the convent of the Sisters of Hoboken. They are in a most unfortunate situation. You see, their cook, Sister Julia (Child of God) made some of her famous Vyshesoise soup (How on earth do you spell that :) Anyway 52 of the nuns dropped dead from food poisoning. They managed to bury 48 of them, but then Mother Superior decided to buy a new Video recorder for the convent and so they ran out of money. The remaining 4 nuns are currently being stored in the freezer in the kitchen, and so they are having a charity concert in order to raise the funds to bury them. It's a hilarious story, and the problem is all solved when Sister Amnesia (who can't remember even her name since a crucifix fell on her head) is singing a country and western number in their concert and suddenly everything comes back. She is really Sister Mary Paul who had won a fabulous competition at Nashville and then disappeared. She's really very wealthy. The music is fabulous and of course my entire ensemble will have to wear habits :) Apologies if this offends you Sr. Claire - but I really think you'd love it David in Ballarat Agnes Boddington - Ellougthon UK David in Ballarat wrote: Am also madly rehearsing and MD-ing "Nunsense" 2 or 3 nights a week as well.

Re: [lace] What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
It's sad working. B! I'm not even working on lace. Maybe next year, sigh. I hope to take a couple of days off next week, and be a local tourist - going to even get a hotel room down in the French Quarter Beth McCasland in the sub-urbs of New Orleans. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention
Dear Friends, the list sure is quiet. S, I thought I'd ask what you are doing this week lace-wise. Not much actually - lace-wise. I have about 2 months more work to do on this petit point portrait I'm doing in 16 shades of B&W at 50 sts per inch. I'm managing to put in about 3 hours per day. After that I shall get back on to my large piece of Toender and finish the last side. Am also madly rehearsing and MD-ing "Nunsense" 2 or 3 nights a week as well. Can't wait to get into my habit.
