Re: [lace] What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention

Dear Lace Friends,

I am spending the time anticipating the arrival of granddaughter #1!!  
We are going to make a trip to visit our daughter and son-in-law and 
grandson #1 in about 12 days.  I am making a bonnet for the baby with 
smocking and a lace back of Bucks Point lace.  The pattern is called 
Cinderella by Geraldine Stott.  It wasn't a hard choice since my 
great-great-grandmother's name was Cinderella.  She wasn't the first to 
be named that either, as her mother was also a Cinderella.


I wonder what would possess a mother living in the rural south in the 
early 1800's to name a little girl that.  I suppose there has always 
been some fascination with the story. 

Then, some of us, like me, get to live our happily ever afters married 
to our very own Prince Charming's; or Mr. Darcy's ...take your pick.

[lace] What are you doing instead of IOLI Convention

2008-08-05 Thread David in Ballarat

Dear Friends,

 the list sure is quiet.  S, I thought I'd ask what you are doing this
 week lace-wise.



Not much actually - lace-wise. I have about 2 months more work to do 
on this petit point portrait I'm doing in 16 shades of BW at 50 sts 
per inch. I'm managing to put in about 3 hours per day. After that I 
shall get back on to my large piece of Toender and finish the last side.


Am also madly rehearsing and MD-ing Nunsense 2 or 3 nights a week 
as well. Can't wait to get into my habit.

It's sad working.  B!  I'm not even working on lace.  Maybe next year, 
sigh.

I hope to take a couple of days off next week, and be a local tourist - going 
to even get a hotel room down in the French Quarter
