I quite agree with Jean in Poole - I am glad it is all over too. Our dogs
suffer with fireworks, and at the risk of seeming a spoilsport, why do they
have to start at 10.30 and finish at 1.00 - not all the same person, I
assume, but just TOO MUCH.
By the way, our Woolworths store has some

Dear Lacefriends,

things.

We don't have a lot of fireworks around here this time of year but my
neighbours said it with pots and pans and their voices. Oh, and the odd
car horn. We do have four huge fireworks displays in the summer, put on
by different countries, and last year when one started with a giant

Hi Adele !
What I know about reconstruction probably won't help you much. But I
took a class from Michael Giusiana last summer, and we were given HUGE
files of extremely high-definition scans of old lace. When it was
printed out, the 1 X 12 piece of lace was 54 inches long!!!

Consider yourself lucky that the fireworks are only on for half an hour once
a week in Summer.
Here in Malta, we have fireworks every weekend between Easter and late
October for each of the village feasts. There are one or more each week. The
fireworks start from Friday evening, Saturday and
I have made lace over a copy of a picture of lace,

were fairly simple laces, and not as intricate as that

Ouch. Doing it from a photo is even harder than doing it from a piece

Hello all,
I hope this new year finds you all well...I have a question. Where could I
find the little lace tape used in making battenburg lace. Jane V. has inspired
me to check it out and see what I can do. Thank you all in advance for any
advice.

I spotted Valentines Day cards today in our grocery store when I had

I have the actual Medic Alert brand service and a nice silver

And I thoroughly second Betty Rice's advice to get the real
