[lace] Raffle result
17 of you asked for your names to be put in the raffle and I numbered each in the ordered they arrived in my in-box. I asked DH for a number between 1 and 17 inclusive last night and he picked number 1, which is Sue Eddy. Don't know where you are Sue. If you let me know your snail mail address, I'll get it into the post to you.

[lace] Blood on lace, how to remove.
Doris wrote in response to the wooden Implement question:- A picture in the Shire album of needlework tools has a rosewood tool which looks at first glance like a needle case, similar to your pictured tool. But it is a holder for a styptic pencil these are quite frequently found in workboxes. I don't do needlelace, but if I attempted it, I could use a handy styptic pencil! From Doris I have a tip, which others might know already, for removing blood from lace when you have pricked your finger while working. Take a piece of the same thread you are using for the lace, make a small ball of it, about the size of a large pea. Put the ball in your mouth and soak it with saliva. Now use that ball of wet thread to dab the blood off the lace. This should be done as soon as possible and the saliva must be from the person whose blood it is on the lace. Something to do with a person's enzymes I think, but am not sure. All I know is that it works every time for me .I have never tried this method on Synthetic threads but it could work as well on those as it does on natural fibres.

Re: [lace] Holly v S
I rang Holly via Skype a couple of weeks ago, cost me pennies, and could give my credit card details directly to her rather than sending several emails. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK Dear Friends, I'm now using a go-between to get to Holly. I have no idea why I was recently blocked by her server, but have been on to them and requested permission for the blockage to be removed. We'll see what happens many thanks for your help and kind offers. David in Ballarat - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] blood on lace
A very old fashion remedy for this problem comes from my late great Victorian era aunt Ina, soak item whether it be of cotton or linen content in cold highly salted water. Has worked wonders for as long as I can remember.

This does work I've done it on the odd occasion that I've pricked my finger when hand sewing on wedding dresses. good luck for the bride too (said tongue in cheek) but using your own saliva the blood just melts away :-) ... and I always put a small blue lace motif on the lining of any wedding dress I make.

You might not have salt available at conventions or wherever You allways have your own salive with you Jo - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Now use that ball of wet thread to dab the blood off the lace. A word of warning--thoroughly rinse your mouth before doing this. Unless you brush after every meal and snack, you are likely to have food in your mouth that could present a problem. If you've just eaten chocolate, for example, you'll be replacing the blood stain with a chocolate stain. Robin P.
