Re: [lace] stamp raffle winner
Thanks, Bev! I've seen talk about lace stamps many times over the years, but have never seen one. My stamp collector son would love to add them to his collection. Thanks to everyone for participating in the drawings. That's how they will continue. They are fun. BTW, just after I read Bev's message, I listened to a message on my answering machine that I won a painting at a charity Chinese auction that I went to last night! I guess 12/12 was a lucky day for me! Debbie in Jerusalem At 08:33 PM 12/12/2006 -0800, bevw wrote: Hi all I received 25 names.

[lace] Wreath/pillow totes
For those in the USA, ACE Hardware has a great wreath/pillow tote on sale this season. It is made of heavy duty polyester (tear resistant) fabric of a fairly heavy weight. It is 5 deep and 24 in diameter. The double pull zipper opens the case around half of the circumference. There are 2 handles (although they are not long enough to act as a shoulder carrier) of heavy webbing. It is a nice red color and has a wreath design on each side. There were companion pieces for lights and other items also. All in all I thought it a good buy and purchased one last night. I thought some other gentle spiders might like to know about this very seasonal item. Lorri Graham, WA USA in the very soggy foothills of MT.

Re: [lace] Wreath/pillow totes
There is a 24 diam. wreath tote with 'soft sides' at Home Hardware in Canada, sounds similar to the one Lorri describes. I haven't investigated to see if there are any tricky bits that would interfere with pillow storage g but maybe others in Canada might want to check out the nearest HH.

Re: [lace] black ethafoam
Irene, When I use ethafoam (colored light blue) I first use felt or a wool blanket cut to fit, cover that with cotton muslin (calico in England), then the final cover.

[lace] Bobbins
Lynn W - Midlands bobbins are the thin ones, with spangles (a ring of beads) on the bottom - there to add a bit of weight, - and to stop them rolling! Continental bobbins have bulbous shanks or bottom ends, and therefore the extra weight is in the bobbin, so beads are not needed. They tend to roll around on the pillow, so someone invented the square ones - so they don't roll! (Hooray!) It seems to be a matter of preference which ones you use. Beds, Bucks Pt. and Torchon are good with the Midlands bobbins, but if you do something like Milanese, or other braid laces, where there are a lot of sewings, then the continentals are, perhaps, better. Spangles can get in the way, a bit , with sewings. For online shopping, I have shopped with Holly van Sciver, and Lacey Susan very successfully. --- Usual disclaimers - I am just a satisfied customer! They are both in USA so your postage should not be too bad. Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.

Re: [lace] black ethafoam
I supply many of the Ethafoam pillows in the US but have never seen it in any color other then white. I did contact my supplier and it is available in other colors though as additional cost. So the first question is that is it really is Ethafoam. Ethafoam is an extruded polymer, i.e.: air added to it to expand the material vs. something like a Styrofoam, i.e.: a beaded material heated into a form. Both 'Ethafoam' and 'Styrofoam' are only trade names of materials made by Dow Chemical Corp. and are designed for different purposes and of different polymers. So you need to ascertain that it is in fact Ethafoam. Styrofoam is generally used as an insulation product and can be had in light blue, pink or white. Ethafoam originated as a packing material to absorb shock during shipping. Traditionally Ethafoam has been hard to come by outside of the US but being in Canada may not be as much of a problem. Having said all this and assuming it is really Ethafoam, you should not have any problem with it bleeding. The colour added would be introduced prior to the extruding process and become an intracal part of the foam. I don't recall the trade name but think of the long pool noodles that are sold for backyard swimming pools. They are about 2-1/2 or 3 in diameter and 5 or 6 feet in length. And come in a variety of colour. All that they are is coloured Ethafoam. ( Ethafoam floats very well because of the extrusion process). Betty's comment of covering it with felt or wool is good as it eliminates any deformities and gives a softer feel to the surface. A removable cotton muslin or denim cover also helps hold it all in place. But I would doubt that there would ever be any bleeding of colour from the material even if used with no further cover on it. ** Bobbins by Van-Dieren Kenn Van-Dieren 2304 Clifford Avenue Rochester, NY 14609 Tel: 585.654.5711 Cell: 585.750.8842 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: www.bobbinmaker.com * - Original Message - From: Whitham, Irene Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 5:17 PM Subject: [lace] black ethafoam Hello ladies, Has anyone had any experience with black ethafoam, I would like to make a lace pillow but only one place has ethafoam at the moment and it is black.

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife. After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his word, he made contact, Mary...Mary. Is that you, Fred? Yes, I've come back like we agreed. What's it like? Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast, off to the golf course, I have sex. I bathe in the sun,then I have sex twice. I have lunch, another romp around the golf course, then sex pretty much all afternoon. After supper, golf course again. Then have sex until late at night. The next day it starts again Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven. Not exactly, I'm a rabbit on a golf course in Scotland.
