I dont understand knots but learning bobbin lace and then tatting and seeing the images showing the moves I am going to dip my fingers in and see what happens. I get lots of inspiration from many of you but not the speed. Thank you all Sue T Dorset UK Where it is dull, cold and heading for winter

believe there is a different balance in rising agents in self-rising flour (UK) than in self-raising flour (US), so you might want to Google how much baking powder etc to add to plain flour to get the equivalent to UK self-rising flour. I can't find it in my recipe books quickly. Sorry Sue suebabbs

Yes they do appear in the archive, but if I don't receive the original message from Jeri I don't know one has been sent, so I don't know to go to the archive to look for it! When someone replies to Jeri online, then I know to go to the archives. A frustrating necessity! Sue suebabbs
