Don't be too hard on yourself, Sherry. The male name Francis isn't all
that common in the US so it's an easy mistake to make, especially on a
list that is predominantly female. It took me a while to learn:
FrancIs (like St. Francis of Assis) = generally male
FrancEs = generally female

Francis,
We loved meeting you and Bart at the convention. It was quite a
treat to see all your threads and the question and answer (not a lecture) on
Thursday night was very enlightening. Your knowledge of your product is very
impressive.
I love reading your impressions of your first visit to
May I suggest you ask the concierge to look up the location of the nearest
Trader Joe's grocery store - there you will find inexpensive European and Greek
style whole milk unsweetened yogurt (it has cream on top) -look for Trader
Joe's brand.
You will also find local and imported chocolate,

I enjoyed the Part 2. We should all see our countries through someone else's
eyes!
Whole Foods is a high-end grocery. Or rather, they sell more organic foods
compared to other supermarket chains. I'm surprised you didn't find a yogurt
you liked there, as I have seen Greek yogurt.
Hello everyone!
A week ago I got home from my first trip to Italy. Three amazing weeks. For
the first two I had the pleasure of being guided and accompanied by my
friend and Cantu lace mentor, G. A few lacey highlights:
We stared at lace everywhere. In St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome we noticed
Oh yes, Francis...
I *do* make my own yogurt. There *are* plain, unsweetened yogurts
available, but you do have to look for them. I have found a brand of
Greek-style yogurt that I like very much, and make a batch each week.
I use organic milk and a container of the purchased plain Greek
I purchased a reel of Habu silk and stainless steel thread at a craft show
last week, and have made up a simple gathered flower in bobbin lace in it
(from Springetts Lace for Children of All Ages).
It works up fine. The thread does not retain a curl from having been
wrapped around a bobbin,
NO natural yougurt..(please do not think this is a holygrale for us,
no way but we found
it bizare and the more we did not found it
the more we looked for it to see if we could find it)
While at first I figured that Bart and Francis had simply missed the
plain yogurt, their search
Hello All! I just finished a quilt for a REAL Texas cowboy who#39;s family
been in Texas before it was a state. His family name is Cantu. I think that we
need to talk about lace sometime instead of horses and mules. Yogurt, I make 1
or 2 quarts everyday. Currently I use nonfat dry milk a bit
Dear Arachnes,
I realise that a lot of you are traveling this month but the stories
are getting a bit long and the threads they generate are veering
off-topic. I gently suggest that you move them to lace-chat, unless
you're actually describing lace classes or views of a lace collection.
Hi Noelene and other spiders,
I purchased some very fine stainless steel thread (just stainless
steel--not blended with anything) from Habu at a knitting festival last
year. I saw some blended with wool at the time too. I haven't used it
yet, but it was just too intriguing not to buy! I'll
