[lace] Pix from NEC

2003-12-02 Thread Maxine D
I have just seen the pix and  have come to the conclusion that to do so was
a form of self inflicted torture!!  You are so well provided for.

[lace] National Gallery of Victoria.

2003-12-02 Thread Elizabeth Ligeti
A couple of months ago someone contacted me about the National Gallery of
Victoria, and their lace collection.
Sorry, but I cannot find the mail from you, nor the print-off that I took,
so please can you contact me again, and give me the name of the Lace
Collection of you query.

The National Gallery will re-open this weekend, - bigger and better than
ever, - so they say, - but no mention of the lace in any of the blurbs they
are issueing.
Glad to say they kept the wonderful stained glass ceiling in the great hall,
and the water wall at the entrance - but only due to public pressure.  We
all love them, and they are part and parcel of the Gallery- even if the new
age designers think they are "old hat"!!!

Hi Mindy,

Well, you're a Spider now!  Since you just joined, you will just have missed the 
notice of a lovely Irish Crochet motif that Avital just posted.  Her own design,  I am 
so impressed.

Yes, they do.  The two I have  have water-resistant covers, zippers all arund 
and good carrying straps so that they can go over one shoulder which is 
helpful too.  Also they are padded inside.  Absolutely perfect as lace piillow 
covers.  I found mine while waiting one day for my daughter and granddaugher to 
search out "everything" for sale in the StateLine Tack shop in  NH/Mass. This 
shop does have a web site too.

[lace] silver thread raffle/thank you

2003-12-02 Thread Cindy Rusak
Morning Spiders,

I am now closing the raffle.  I will have my children pull five names out 
of a hat when they get home from school and I will post the winners this 
evening.

I would also like to thank everyone who responded about the thread.  The 
consensus is that the thread is the real thing.  I guess that means I'm 
going to have to be very picky as to what I use it for.

Have a great day,

Cindy Rusak, in sunny Wisconsin

[lace] My website

2003-12-02 Thread Brenda Paternoster
Dear Spiders

I'm in the process of re-vamping parts of my website and at the same 
time I'm experiencing problems accessing it myself (via the internet).

As part of the updating I've changed all the filenames to lowercase.  
If you enter the site via the home page and click through the links it 
should all work OK, but if you have a page bookmarked it may well have 
capitals in the filenames which need to be changed to lowercase.

The problems with access to the homepage I can't resolve myself, I've 
emailed argonet support and have left a message on their answerphone.

Because of these technical difficulties it will probably now be well 
into December before the lace pattern gets changed.

Brenda

Corian (a DuPont brand name) is a special polyester (aliphatic, with some
glycidylether monomers for polarity -  I can check in detail if neccessary)
highly filled (50 - 80 % w) with a grounded mineral (CaCo3 - which builds
marble, too).

Therefore its haptic is more like porcelain or marble than "plastic", but
without the brittleness of the pure minerals. Durable, hard, high density,
stable against temperature, impact resistant. 

I've never seen it in fragile shapes like a bobbin's neck, so I don't dare
to guess wether it's flexibility would allow a normal on the pillow or wether
it will break

Eva, 
after a weekend with Ulrike Loehr and her snowflake quilt,
eager to return to my pillow instead of working in my office *grrr*
