[lace] Beds bookmark in colour
One of the ladies in my weekly lace group made a beds bookmark (not the thistle one, but the one with the 'August' on page 103 of Barbara Underwood's A Bedfordshire Lace Collection) in variegated yellow/orange thread and manipulated the threads so that each element was in one shade, eg the wheatear was all pale yellow; the flower-type shapes at the top of what I think are rosehips almost orange; the rosehips pale; sunflower centres dark and petals light heads in an almost orange; the sun was dark at the centre and lightened fairly evenly towards the ends of the sunrays, and so on. The thread colours didn't change suddenly as some variegated threads do and there were fairly long lengths in each coliur. Don't know which thread it was without asking her. It saved changing threads, but took a lot of trial and error to get the colours where she wanted them Really effective.

Re: [lace] drawn-thread handkerchief... #2
That one does work! I have a piece of drawn thread embroidery which looks very similar, though mine is salmon pink with linen with cream embroidery. It has the same circles and crosses and zig-zag diagonal footedge. Mine is a traycloth 12x18 and two 8x8 napkins still folded and tacked to the bigger cloth so it's never been used. Picked it up in an antique shop in Rochester, but my instinctive feeling is that it's from the Mediterranean area. If the piece on Ebay is a similar weight then Alice is right in thinking it's a table mat and not a hankie. There's a scan of my piece, which I think shows the embroidery threads more clearly on http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/traycloth.jpg Brenda On 21 Jan 2006, at 03:01, Clay Blackwell wrote: Let's try THIS one... http://tinyurl.com/bs79k And, in case that one doesn't work, the item number for the auction is... 6246335686 Clay Clay Blackwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brenda http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Danish Royal Christening
Hi Everyone, Just to let you know that the new royal prince in Denmark was christened today in one of Copenhagen's most beautiful churches, the Church of Christiansborg Palace. His name, which according to the Danish royal customs, was first made public at the moment of his actual christenng and he will be known as Christian, Valdemar, Henri, John. It was a truly beautiful ceremony and Mary looked radiant in her new role as mother. The baby was wearing the beautiful robe of Brussels lace made in 1870 for the christening (in the same church) of Christian the 10th of Denmark. It has been a tradition for the royal family to use the gown and it will be on display in the royal palace of Amalienborg next week. Check this site out for pictures and video http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Temaer/Oevrige_temaer/2006/Prins/index.htm The site is in Danish but just click on the pictures! I'm busy preparing dinner for guests arriving shortly and I do'nt have much time to write more at the moment. However, I'm sure our Australian members will be interested in the proceedings.You have every right to be really proud of your lovely princess - she is doing a great job over here!

And in this particular case I have to agree with the teachers, it's not good. Flanders has so many worker exchanges where 4 bobbins cross the gimp, that a coloured gimp shows up as a dotted line.

[lace-chat] knitting and hobbies help prevent alzheimers
Adults with hobbies that exercise their brains - such as reading, jigsaw puzzles or chess - are 2.50 times less likely to have Alzheimer's disease, while leisure limited to TV watching may increase the risk What about those of us who make lace, do jigsaw puzzles, read, knit, sew, try and solve Sudoku puzzles (the coffee break ones can take me a couple of hours!), while watching the TV? Perhaps we'll develop Alzheimer's slowly! MIL is in the advanced stages of Alzheimers, and I have to admit that she never exercised her brain - was never allowed to by her husband who controlled and decided everything in their lives. Was never allowed a hobby because he wouldn't spend a penny that wasn't necessary and he controlled all the money that came into the household. She would ever have dared say That's my money. He decided what they ate, what clothes she wore, where and when they were bought and how much they cost - in fact he controlled the whole of her life. The only thing she did, apart from housework, was watch 'Neighbours'. He was annoyed that she couldn't sew to mend things, so they wore clothes which were frayed or had holes in them because he was too tight to throw anything away. He put a lot of money into her name for tax purposes, but she didn't know anything about it. He died very wealthy in August and you wouldn't believe what we threw away when clearly his house - he never threw anything away That'll be handy one day. She has no idea she has so much money and GBP600 plus a week is going on keeping her in residential care. There's enough money to keep her for the next sixteen years, but it's not likely that she'll live that long - if you can call it a life, but then I don't think she had a life before she developed Alzheimers. She doesn't even know her husband is dead. She doesn't know my husband or his sister, and spends most of the day asleep. Fortunately, because of the childhood he had, DH is nothing like his father, who was very critical of the fact that he allowed me too much freedom.

Re: [lace-chat] Golden Sryup
I can even buy it here at several local stores in Illinois! For a while I bought some every time I saw it, forgetting that I had already bought some. So I have quite a collection!!!

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Living will
Be careful what you wish for... :) From: R. P. A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her, Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug. His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Things that keep your brain active
Hi All, I just read an article in Newsweek magazine (January 16, 2006) on this very topic. They list the top five things to keep your brain active. They are: dancing, playing board games, playing musical instruments, doing crossword puzzles and reading. I'm sure bobbin lace making would be up there is they'd thought to test it G. I'm interested that dancing is first. I don't do that very often but I sure do alot of word/number puzzles G. I'm another Suduko fan! The article adds that ...older persons who did crossword puzzles four days a week had a risk of dementia 47 percent lower than subjects who did puzzles only once a week. Jane in Vermont, USA where the January thaw is still going on! It got up to 50F (10C) and that's been going on for almost two weeks - a blessing with heating oil being so expensive!

Re: [lace-chat] knitting and hobbies help prevent alzheimers
What about those of us who make lace, do jigsaw puzzles, read, knit, sew, try and solve Sudoku puzzles (the coffee break ones can take me a couple of hours!), while watching the TV? Perhaps we'll develop Alzheimer's slowly! i was hoping crochet would be added to the list. it is a hobby, so i guess i'm in there. i read a lot when i'm searching the internet, so i'm going to count that i exercised my brain there as well. as for tv! i don't watch it, but i watch the computer monitor long enough to count for the same thing. she never exercised her brain - was never allowed to by her husband who controlled and decided everything in their lives. Was never allowed a hobby because he wouldn't spend a penny that wasn't necessary and he controlled all the money that came into the household. i remember my dad trying to tell my mother he thought a man should be the head of the household and then years later and 5 children later we lived in a double income house that barely got by. he was then heard saying there is no way to run a household without two incomes! he also said when he was first married he thought the women did women things around the house and the man did man things. he learned to cook, do laundry, and clean the house as well as my mother. her work was just as important as his. as far as i can remember my mother divied out the paychecks. she paid the bills with it and decided what was spent on what. he said what he wanted and she gave it to him, but the rest was all her decision. if i ever marry, i would never live in a household where i didn't have equal say-so. i'm not bossy, but i can't see developing the idea that i have no rights paying my own bills and getting part of the paycheck if i do all the cooking and cleaning! i really feel sorry for any man who has to rely on my cooking and cleaning! i am living proof that women are not always good at domestic chores!! lol! when i was a teenager i swore i would marry a chef so he could do all the cooking. She has no idea she has so much money and GBP600 plus a week is going on keeping her in residential care. There's enough money to keep her for the next sixteen years, but it's not likely that she'll live that long - if you can call it a life, but then I don't think she had a life before she developed Alzheimers. my grandmother is widowed and has dimentia and alzheimers and she doesn't remember the house she lives in is hers. she is always trying to go home! she has lived in this house for over 30 years and she gets up fighting mad yelling and crying she wants to go home. it is the medication that makes her paranoid like this, but the side affects are worth prolonging her life. she will eventually end up bed-ridden and unable to control her own bowels or forget altogether how to go to the bathroom. she is at the stages now where she wears diapers, but she so far is able to get up and go when she really has to go, just not in good time. she also was a home maker, but she did work before she was married. she is able to read, but not very well. back when she was a little girl schooling was not required and through out her life she only read magazines,the newspaper, and the bible reglarly. right now her eyes are bad, but she can read the clock still. she is 87 going on 88 this year. from suzy in tennessee,u.s.a. __ Do You Yahoo!?

If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets. 5. Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is Still considered tacky to drive a U- Haul to the funeral home. DINING OUT 1. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your Fingers covering the label. 2. Avoid throwing bones and food scraps on the floor as the Restaurant may not have dogs. ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME 1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared By a taxidermist. 2 Do not allow the dog to eat at the table no matter how good His manners are. PERSONAL HYGIENE 1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that Should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys. 2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several Days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of Good money. 3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of Finger foods. DATING (Outside the Family) 1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first Date. 2. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the Bathroom wall two years ago. 3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; Others might say Monday. If the latter is the answer, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time. 4. Always have a positive comment about your date's appearance, Such as, ya'll sure don't sweat much for a fat broad. WEDDINGS 1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift. 2.

Though uncomfortable, say yes to socks and shoes for this special occasion. 5. It is not appropriate to tell the groom how good his wife is in the sack. DRIVING ETIQUETTE 1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; Even if the gun Is loaded, and the deer is in sight. 2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way. 3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape. 4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer. 5. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving. 6. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession. TWO REASONS WHY IT IS HARD TO SOLVE A REDNECK MURDER 1. All the DNA is the same. 2. There are no dental records.
