I surely wasn't negating demonstrating lacemaking *anywhere* when I made my
comment about doing so at Craft Fairs. I love being able to sit and make
lace all day, have all the attention focused on my art, and enjoy

How funny you are, Devon! Of course I will add your ribbon to my
ever-growing list of projects.
We have a group here in Ellicott City (next town over from me, and an
early Maryland settlement) that does early-19th century reenactments
in authentic costumes, and I have just undertaken to make a

That's my problem! I don't really dress the proper way for emphasizing beautiful

Hi Tamara,
Pomeransskal is the dried peel from the citrus fruit pomerans.
Seville orange tree, bitter orange tree and sour orange tree are names I
have heard for the tree.
Pomeranstern is the Danish word for the peel when it is diced.
So what you need is some Seville orange peel diced.
Good Luck
I had a pair of knitted gloves which had an extra bit attached at the back
of the base of the fingers that could be pulled over the fingers to make
them into mittens. Really warm when it was very cold because of the two

I've also heard getting stung by nettles is actually healthy (may be completely
false), so people might have used them for that too. Although it's a very bad
