[lace] More lace...

"...I like to think that I would show lace off better than she does because,
being much larger, there'd be more of it to see on me!.."' 

Jean, I fully agree.  I have made myself 2 "Victorian type" plastrons - Long
triangular shaped pieces for down the front of a dress, in mixed beds with
Needlelace centres - and they drape Much better over my ample front, than
they would on a flat, skinny person!!  (big grin!!)

 (I will never fall Flat on my face, that's for sure!  I "carry all before
me", as my little sister once commented!!)

[lace] LaceNews channel

There are a lot of lace making videos on YouTube.  It would be very nice to
have them all indexed by someone who knows what they are.  Keeping it up to
date could be a nightmare.  Sisyphus comes to mind.

[lace] LaceNews Channel on YouTube

2011-07-09 Thread Laurie Waters
So I signed up for YouTube with LaceNews, and suddenly I have a YouTube 
channel! They call it "Lacenews's Channel"  (hopefully I can adjust that 
title a bit, still learning how this works).
I've been searching YouTube for every lace-related video I can find, and 
organizing them into playlists on the new channel. I've also got a few old 
films that need to be converted to digital that I will be downloading in the 
future.

The address is:
http://www.youtube.com/user/lacenews
I have no clue how well this is going to work, but take a look, comments 
very welcome. Thanks!

This is one of my favorite albums, and I listen to it frequently,

A number of years ago they put out a second CD, too. Can't remember what 
it is called.

I wouldn't dream of conducting without it!!
BUT even more relevant than that is the fact that I also wouldn't 
dream of making lace without music of some sort playing. Many years 
ago now Jana Nicol of Lansing, Michigan (former Arachnid still on 
Facebook) sent me a CD of some local group playing the most beautiful 
music to make lace by. I could dig it out - but I do know that it's 
mainly flue and zither.

[lace] more lace on Kate?

2011-07-09 Thread Jean Nathan
When I suggested that she was too thin to my Monday lace group, there was a 
sharp intake of breath and I was told I shouldn't say that, but they did 
agree. Apparently she's a UK size 6.

The fashion industry hasn't had a "walking billboard" like Kate since 
Dianna died!  Everything she wears will become instant fashion hits.  
She is lovely, and it's fun to watch what she wears.


Personally, I think she looks *too* thin, and will be more attractive 
when she has gained 10 - 15 pounds.  Given her position in the public 
eye, she could do a lot of good for young women if she were a healthier 
weight.  She may be one of those people who is genetically disposed to 
be very thin, or it may be that her weight is carefully controlled (her 
mother and sister are both very trim).  But eating disorders among young 
women are a major health issue, and unfortunately, glamorous women like 
Kate and most movie stars only perpetuate the problem.

I remember a professional pianist telling me that he had trouble playing 
the music of that period until someone explained to him that part of the 
style came from the way you had to hold your hands in order to keep 
those cuff flounces (name?) out of the way.
