Re: [lace] Fan Sticks
Dear Margaret, could you find in UK the cleanig-material for porcelain-doll? This is also possible to use for bone-sticks. Otherwise if you come to Germany I can give you the adress from the specialist for ivory, mother-in-pearl and all such materials. He lives ear Bremen. And I myself sent him my fans allways by post.

I received my issue yesterday. Tamara well done again. We had some talk about the price of the magazine and have done some calculations. The stamp on the envelope was 2.55 Euro, the magazine 5 euro. Now this gives me 7.55 multiply by 6 issues is 45.30. Now lets add 10%for the handling and the envelope. But how does the publisher reach 90 euro for the subscription to my part of the world ?

Re: [lace] ebay's new listing categories - Tatting
Jeri and others I suspect that Rikki was not intending to say anything at all about tatting - and not saying that tatting does not qualify as lacemaking, but rather was using an English slang word . It was an unfortunate choice in the context of the lace list :) Tat or tut (as I have heard some Essex folks use) means stuff - and is often used to describe stuff which is not of very high value or purpose. My Essex boss used it often to describe what i would have called junk. So please don't get too steamed up about this.

[lace] Oops - language misunderstandings
Sorry about the misunderstanding. I am writing this from the UK where we use tat as a derogatory term for anything that isn't up to standard - rubbish (again I believe this is an English term equivalent to the term garbage). If you can imagine someone holding up a piece of torn and scruffy material by two fingers on an outstretched arm and saying ''Who does this bit of tat belong to?'' then that is the sort meaning I intended to convey. I have done a fair bit of tatting in my time. I used to take my tatting to the hospital when I was having radiotherapy for breast cancer and I had to spend hours waiting around because the machine was *tatty* and kept breaking down.

Yet another example of two nations divided by a common language. Oxford Dictionary definitions: tat - 1 n. colloq. tatty things; rubbish, junk. (back formation from tatty). tat - 2 v. do, or make by, tatting (origin unknown) tatting n. 1. a kind of handmade knotted lace used for trimming etc. 2. process of making this. (origin unknown) tatty adj. colloq. 1. tattered, shabby 2. inferior 3. tawdry The tat in some of the tat is a noun, and is therefore definition 1.

(back formation from tatty) However, to appease the tatters amongst us I'll quote again one of my favourite poems: Lace is lace is lace. For years I was a tatter With shuttle, thread and hook. I made quite lovely pieces All copied from a book. But then one day I came across A bobbin lacy braid. I tried the skill and caught the bug And was thrilled with what I made. So now I practice both the crafts, And each one has its place. The bobbin lace on pillow large Sits in my special place Where I can sit and lace away In quiet and solitude And concentrate on what I do All in a peaceful mood. But tatting's always with me I'd never venture out Without my bag of tatting Of that I have no doubt. It's there whenever waiting Would mean some time to spare. It's there to pick up any time And add to lace that's there. And yet from both these types of lace The end result's the same Some piece of work so beautiful No matter what the name.

[lace] Alphabet Inspirations Thread!
Hi Everyone - Especially Sandi Woods Brenda Paternoster I've been perusing (drooling over) my copy of Sandi Woods' Alphabet Inspirations for a week or two now and want to say to all that Inspirations is a perfect part of the title. I want to do all the patterns in the book and further have been inspired to think * Can I combine the I G (my brother - Ian Graham - is 50 in January) * Can I mix P C (Paul Christine get married later this month) * And ... and .. and That's just the inspiration from the letters. When you do the perception shift to see how parts of letters are used to create other designs - the ideas just multiply (sadly time does not expand to fit the lace ideas available!) To get to my query! The book suggests Pipers silks - 90/2 80/3 etc as the correct threads for the prickings as printed. In Sandi's earlier book - Special Effects in Bobbin Lace - the pricking guides say that if you use the Piper's threads you should use the prickings at 100% (ie the same as the Inspirations). This is also the guide for Madeira tanne 50 Gutermann silk thread. Brenda's book says that the Pipers silks recommended have 27-30 threads/cm but that Madeira 50 has 39. Madeira 30 has 29 threads/cm in Brenda's book but Sandi's Special Effects suggest a pricking enlargement to 105% if tanne 30 is used. My question is Are the silk threads squashier when used in bobbin lace so that the extra threads can squeeze themselves into the space or have I totally misunderstood Brenda's work! I thought that where were 99 wraps per cm in Yarn A and the pricking said use yarn B, if yarn B was within a reasonable number of wraps of A it would work and that otherwise you had an adjustment fact or to apply based on 99 X A/B (or 99 X A2/B2 ? - please answer this one too, someone, again!).

[lace-chat] :-) Children's Bill of Rights
I think there's something similar to this in most countries. As I don't have children (horses were cheaper) I can only sympathise. Children's Bill of Rights My teen-age son came home from school one day, with a smirk upon his face. He decided he was smart enough, to put me in my place. Guess what I learned in Civics Two, that's taught by Mr. Wright? It's all about the laws today, The Children's Bill of Rights. It says I need not clean my room, don't have to cut my hair No one can tell me what to think, or speak, or what to wear. I have freedom from religion, and regardless what you say, I don't have to bow my head, and I sure don't have to pray. I can wear earrings if I want, and pierce my tongue nose. I can read watch just what I like, get tattoos from head to toe. And if you ever spank me, I'll charge you with a crime. I'll back up all my charges, with the marks on my behind. Don't preach about your morals, like e your Mama did to you. That's nothing more than mind control, And it's illegal too! Mom, I have these children's rights, so you can't influence me, or I'll call Children's Services Division, better know as C.S.D. X X X X Of course my first instinct was to toss him out the door. But the chance to teach him a lesson made me think a little more. I mulled it over carefully, I couldn't let this go. A smile crept upon my face, he's messing with a pro. Next day I took him shopping at the local Goodwill Store. I told him, Pick out all you want, there's shirts pants galore. I've called and checked with C.S.D. who said they didn't care if I bought you K-Mart shoes instead of those Nike Airs. I've canceled that appointment to take your driver's test. The C.S.D. is unconcerned so I'll decide what's best. I said No time to stop and eat, or pick up stuff to munch. And tomorrow you can start to learn to make your own sack lunch. Just save the raging appetite, and wait till dinner time. We're having liver and onions, a favorite dish of mine. He asked Can I please rent a movie, to watch on my VCR? Sorry, but I sold your TV, for new tires on my car. I also rented out your room, you'll take the couch instead. The C.S.D. requires just a roof over your head. Your clothing won't be trendy now, I'll choose what we eat. That allowance that you used to get, will buy me something neat. I'm selling off your jet ski, dirt-bike roller blades. Check out the Parents Bill of Rights, It's in effect today! Hey hot shot, are you crying, Why are you on your knees? Are you asking God to help you out, instead of C.S.D..?

[lace-chat] RE: lace-chat microwave advice
Hi Lindy, I got a combination microwave (oven/grill/micro)when my last child was born (17 yrs ago!) and we used that and a gas hob alone until we needed larger amounts cooking (about 6 yrs)and then got a built in oven as well. We finally got rid of the combi this year and went for a plain micro as we no longer used the combi for baking and the grill was quite awkward to use. Mostly due to it's position and the fact that the grill pan had to sit on a high rack. I will say that we had an insurance on ours and had a new liner as the enamel peeled badly on the first one which caused sparking. We also had a new transformer and two new magnetrons in the time we had it. We are quite happy with the small micro especially as it seems to have freed up so much space.Be aware that most bakeware for the conventional ovens does not fit in the combi micros as it hasd to go round and round. We have quite a selection of unusal shaped bakeware! However, it was brilliant for us when that was how we were cooking although Sunday roasts took some organising due to lack of space inability to cook several different things at once. Regards, Lynne.

Dear Friends, What a week it's been!! I had to have a coronary angiogram last Friday and they found one large blockage of the Anterior Descending Artery - so severe that they weren't going to let me go anywhere. So I spent the weekend in hospital here in Ballarat (thank God I had some tatting sent in) and then on Monday was transferred down to Melbourne where I had a stent inserted into the artery. I was sent home the very next day with a fabulous CD rom of my beating heart!! But I am feeling - well, lots of things really - very sore, very tired, angry, pissed off, very touchy as I try to cut down on smokes and cholesterol. I'm afraid I ripped through a couple of nurses as I reminded them that nicotine is far harder to come off than narcotics - and I do know what I'm talking about - wouldn't ever recommend cold turkey to anyone - but this is far worse.

I bought a black one and will be using it tomorrow when I demonstrate at a local church fair and my old table can be used for the have a go pillow. Hope the link works. http://www.lifetime.com/TablesAndChairs/ProductDetails.aspx?product=79 Janice Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [This E-mail Scanned for viruses by Onlinemac.com] --- [This E-mail Scanned for viruses by Onlinemac.com] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] RE: lace-chat microwave advice
I have a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, with everything from toothpick to scissors, that I have treasured for nearly forty years. I keep it in the top drawer of my dresser, so that I can see it every time I dress, and be assured that I can find it if I ever want it. What's in my pocket is a knife with one locking blade. It has been my experience that simple things work better. -- Joy Beeson http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where leaves are falling.

Re: [lace-chat] Back Again
David, I'm so glad your problm is sorted out. DH also smoked until he had a heart attack. He smoked the day before the attack, but the following day he'd stopped. He hasn't smoked one or wanted one since. We both know exactly what you mean by nicotine being harder to come off than narcotics. I also smoked - 20-30 a day from age 16 (when it was the fashionable thing to do with my four inch long cigarette holder with a ring of diamante round it!), and tried several times unsuccessfully to stop. Being a teacher of 14 to 16 year-olds, I could smoke two cigarettes in a ten minute break to get a big enough shot of nicotine to get me through the next hour with some of them. When I knew I was going to retire at age 54, I decided that I wouldn't need the nicotine once I wasn't teaching any more and I had four months of knowing when my retirement date was. The last cigarette I smoked was just before I walked out of the smoking room in the school for the last time. I haven't touched one, and haven't wanted one, since. I'm not one of those smug I did it, so can you types, and I don't think anyone who hasn't been addicted to it knows just how hard it is to give up. I think I was very fortunate that my plan worked. Hope all continues to go well. Jean in Poole - Original Message - From: David Collyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 3:33 PM Subject: [lace-chat] Back Again Dear Friends, What a week it's been!! I had to have a coronary angiogram last Friday and they found one large blockage of the Anterior Descending Artery - so severe that they weren't going to let me go anywhere. So I spent the weekend in hospital here in Ballarat (thank God I had some tatting sent in) and then on Monday was transferred down to Melbourne where I had a stent inserted into the artery. I was sent home the very next day with a fabulous CD rom of my beating heart!! But I am feeling - well, lots of things really - very sore, very tired, angry, pissed off, very touchy as I try to cut down on smokes and cholesterol. I'm afraid I ripped through a couple of nurses as I reminded them that nicotine is far harder to come off than narcotics - and I do know what I'm talking about - wouldn't ever recommend cold turkey to anyone - but this is far worse. It's good to get back to some lovely fine Chantilly!

[lace-chat] Contrail count
Hi All, As usual, ever since Alice in Oregon wrote about it, I went to the Astronomy site today. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html I looked further and Northern Hemisphere residents can help NASA by counting contrails (jet trails) in the sky on October 14th and 15th sometime between 11am and 1pm. I don't know why but I thought some of you might be interested G. The work sheet and data sheet are at the following URL. http://www.globe.gov/fsl/html/templ.cgi?sciweek2004lang=ennav=1 From what I read it seems that jet trails might be changing the climate and they're studying that. You don't have to be a student or teacher to count the contrails and you can learn more about clouds if you're interested. Jane in Vermont, USA hoping it won't be overcast tomorrow!

Re: [lace-chat] RE: lace-chat microwave advice
Joy, if ever you decide to visit Australia, leave both your knives at home!! It's against the law to carry any knife in public here (well, at least in New South Wales!). If they were found at the airport, they'd be confiscated, or you could be arrested on the street. These laws were introduced a few years ago after a wave of attacks on totally innocent people, resulting in a number of deaths.

These laws were introduced a few years ago after a wave of attacks on totally innocent people, resulting in a number of deaths. They say that hard cases make bad law -- I'd put it a little stronger in this case. When I went to Australia last March (A whirlwind tour of Sydney, Alice Springs, and Cairns), I left the Victorinox home for fear of losing it, and didn't yet own the locking-blade knife. (I was much surprised, while reading part of a Matt Helm novel a week or two ago, to learn that a locking-blade knife is more spy-ly than a switchblade!) I didn't have any fuss over the knife and folding scissors attached to my purse -- but I put the purse into checked baggage. I did have a great deal of fuss when I forgot and left a #8 crochet hook in my carry-on, but they let me check my carry-on, after hastily transferring the absolute necessities to Dave's, and it wasn't a very long flight. I'd have been even more worried had I known at the time that Patternworks no longer sells 1.5 mm crochet hooks. Except maybe as part of a very expensive set. (Patternworks was my last source of decent crochet hooks. Fortunately, I now have a full set of knitting needles and crochet hooks.) -- Joy Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where sycamore leaves are falling.
