Re: [lace] Borris Lace Collection (Ireland) - Book Review

Hi All

Needlelace is very portable. I once sat on a coach from Yorkshire to 
northern Italy stitching as I went through the various countries in Europe.

[lace] Where have you stitched?

2010-11-15 Thread Sue Babbs
And I've stood in the snow at the top of an Austrian mountain, stitching 
needlelace, in between watching my 5 year old and husband skiing. I was at 
the top of the run, and needed something to do after they had gone out of 
sight. Definitely portable!

[lace] Lace magazine arrival story

2010-11-15 Thread bev walker
Hi all
It is quiet on the list and herewith a bit of chat. The 'Lace'
magazine arrived at the PO box last week, but I didn't know except for
a claim card. Of course I knew right away after presenting the claim
card and seeing the piece of mail. It had a bulky bit in it, and the
people who sort thought the better of trying to force it into the
narrow mailbox (I have had to pry mail that was rolled tightly, out of
it, ever since the powers-that-be decided to install smaller boxes to
fit in more addresses...how efficient is that...). Now what was this
bulky bit all about? It was at one end of the envelope, as if
something had been tucked in to the magazine.

All it was, was a crimp in the fold below the staple, that must have
happened when the envelope was stuffed. It was so rigid that the
envelope was thumb-thick at that point, and it 'crackled' - (as thick
paper does) must have been of interest to the people-who-sort! I
popped the bent bit back into place and it was a 'whole magazine'
again.

That and a stat holiday for Remembrance Day caused a bit of a delay in
the mailing to this end. Since then, enjoyable read and visuals ;)

(that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

Re: [lace] subscription

Bev is correct, Adele. Digests are only sent when the messages reach a
certain volume, so if traffic is low, the digests are sent less
frequently. I checked my digest archives and saw that the last digests
were sent on Nov. 9 and Nov. 14, so you would not have received a
digest on the days in between.

Just a reminder to everyone that there is an address at the bottom of
every message (Arachne moderator) where you can reach a real, live
human (me) if you have questions or subscription problems. Thanks to
the miracle of modern electronics and a workplace that lent me a
laptop, I've been able to keep an eye on the list during a hospital
stay (bunion operation) and recuperation at home.

 Hello Adele and everyone
 I just saw your message now (I don't get the digest, I get each
 message as they come in).
 There have not been many messages to the lace list this past week,
 which is probably why you haven't received anything! You will get a
 digest as soon as the quantity of sent messages equals 22K or
 thereabouts, I think that is how it works.

 What happened to my subscription?
