[lace] New Lacemakers
Dear Friends, Last week I completed teaching another class in Lace Making for Beginners here in Ballarat. I duly gave each of the students info on joining Gumnuts and arachne so I'm hoping that soon we shall hear from:- Ina in Ballan; Lynn and Judith from Bacchus Marsh and Dawn from Ararat All were happily half way down the first bookmark in Rosemary Shepherd's book at the end of the course, and loving it. 2 weeks before that I taught a class in tatting and we now have 3 new real Tatting Ladies in Ballarat. I also managed to teach my older sister Raie SEMMENS in Hobart, Tasmania, via the phone and email. She has just returned from 12 weeks overseas with some completed pieces! It's a nice feeling :) David in Ballarat -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[lace] Lace Patterns of the Misses Sivewright and Pope
I see there's an acution for the above book finishing on ebay in just over 40 minutes time. The current high bid is GBP12.50, with the last 6 bids above GBP8.00. Unless it's very recently gone out of print, it's available direct from Christine and David Springett at GBP7.00. Admittedly the postage on the auction is GBP1.50 and Springetts' is GBP2.25 within the UK, but this is a good example of where I'd be checking prices before bidding.

[lace] Christmas card exchange
Hi everyone Hearing no nays, a few yays, and agreeing that time flies, I hearby undertake to organize a Christmas card exchange. I am going to follow in Brenda's footsteps, and have one person send to another (A send to B, B sends to C etc.). You can then meet two people, your recipient, and your sender. If you want, you can send to more than one. Last year I received a beautiful Torchon lace candle on a card. My recipient got a snowflake that I'd made from Tamara's 2-pair Inventions. The deal is, make a lace Christmas card for your recipient. If you wish to send something else, such as a postcard from your area, that is up to you. The minimum requirement is lace on a card that can be sent at basic letter rate (incl airmail). No one should expect more - or less - and here's the qualifier: * please do not sign up if you don't think you can make a card in time to send it before Christmas! we have had other exchanges in the past, and it is s disappointing to be on the neglected end :( For fun, so that the rest of the list can enjoy, I will be happy to post pictures of the cards/laces if small pictures are e-mailed to me - either from the lacemaker or the recipient. Please credit the designer if you are using a published pattern, or yourself if you are the designer! so - Send e-mail to me with 'Christmas card exchange' in the subject line, let me know if you want to send to more than one person, and please include your mailing address. I'll take names until November 1 but will start assigning well before then. let's say December 5 is the deadline for mailing - does that sound fair? -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget. Reminds me of the time I went to the Christmas decoration shop.

My Mother being dead for 2.5 yrs, I begin to pick up some mental pieces and, while visiting my father, try to spread as much American fat as I can, to make his life easier. I bring several jars of peanut butter (no accounting for taste g) and a couple of bottles of sour-mash bourbon (which both of us enjoy g, but would like to pick stuff up locally... He's too proud to *tell me* what he might like, but I notice that he's having problems with the phone; he can't hear it very well, and he's not nimble on his feet - by the time he gets to it, it's too late. Clearly, he needs a phone with an answering machine... So, I take myself off to a phone shop, and discuss the options with the young and spotty male in charge. I know a wee-bit about it, having purchased one for our home 8 months earlier, and thrill to see a model almost identical to the one in my hall, but am interested in the Polish puter language as much as anything else... He offers the most expensive model first (post '88 Poland does not differ much from US) and, since it happens to be the one most similiar to the model I got for my home in Lexington, I'm willing to listen. Once past the general spiel, I ask: The caller's message is recorded on a micro-tape, yes? Yes, he confirms. So, where's my message, saying sorry, can't answer right now, please leave a message recorded? I know ( a chip), but I want to know the Polish equivalent... The spotty young man turns Soviet-red, with the spots shining beety... we record that on a czipa. Um... I turn somewhat pinkish myself; czipa, in Warsaw slang, is cunt, and I stopped saying that word (and some others, equally nasty) at 26, when I knew I was pregnant; I didn't want my child to inherit a sewer for a mouth... :) But, the embarassing situation was *up to me* to resolve, because I was easily old enough to be the clerk's mother... Do you have a phone with a very loud ringer? I asked brightly. And large, easy to see, numbers? Preferably on a circular dial, not a punch pad? The youngster was very obliging and that's what I left the shop with, both of us relieved. My father, once told of the exchange, snickered at czipa and spouted off for half an hour about the corruption of the Polish language but, eventually, said I'm glad you didn't get the one with the answering machine; a loud ringer is best.

BTW, she is the one who quoted swished the taffeta which she says describes the local tradesmen she has been dealing with. They can't take criticism and flounce off. She is in a rural area of Ireland and says Dublin laborers might be another story.

That's an outdated entry. I saw it also. I went in to a page that listed authors and book titles. Water's Edge was published in 2001. Didn't find any place that had it for sale, however. I didn't realize how many places were named Water's Edge. I had to bypass numerous entries for places before it started listing references to the book.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Talking Dog
OK; I don't know why this has to be a Southern boy - I know of some scams perpetrated by cash-starved *Polish* students - but it's funny (and new to me, too) From: L.F. A young Southern boy goes off to college, but about 1/3 way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered what money his parents gave him. Then he gets an idea. He calls his Redneck father. Dad, he says, you won't believe the wonders that modern education are coming up with! Why, they actually have a program here that will teach Fido how to talk! That's absolutely amazing! his father says. How do I get him in that program? Just send him down here with $1000, the boy says, I'll get him into the course. So, his father sends the dog and the $1000. About 2/3 way through the semester, the money runs out. The boy calls his father again. So how's Fido doing, son? his father asks. Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm, he says, but you just won't believe this - they've had such good results with this program, that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to READ! READ !? says his father, No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program? Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class. His father sends the money. The boy has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out that the dog can neither talk nor read. So he shoots the dog. When he gets home, his father is all excited. Where's Fido? I just can't wait to see him talk and read something! Dad, the boy says, I have some grim news. This morning, when I got out of the shower, Fido was in the living room kicking back in the recliner, reading the morning paper, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messin' 'round with that redhead on Oak Street?' The father says, I hope you SHOT that lyin' son of a bitch! I sure did, Dad! That's my boy. -- 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]
