[lace-chat] Travel Pillow site
I found the site at www.suite101.com/article.cfm/lace_making_collecting/40807 There is an underscore between lace and making, and making and collecting - which this silly thing has hidden when it underlined the whole lot!!! However, click on it and it should get you to a page with the travel pillow, and all the instructions underneath it, as you scroll down. It is the pillow by "Author: Lori Howe" - or so it says. from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] fiction books
Thanks, Jenny ! These books are fun! I actually had a few emails with the author a couple of years ago and encouraged her to delve into bobbin lace in one of her books. She wrote back that she generally wrote about skills with which she was familiar and didn't think she had the time to learn enough about lacemaking to include it in one of her stories. One of her books had a plot which involved a bit of handmade lace... the killer was the only one in the area who knew anything about lacemaking!! sigh... I can just imagine the pleasure of reading about the group gathering at the shop and making lace... and solving a mystery while they sort out the puzzles on their pillows!!

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Blonde joke (so who's stupid?)
I'm beginning to think that blondes are stupid only when it suits them... :) From: R.P. Two factory workers were talking. "I think I'll take some time off from work." said the man. "How do you think you'll do that?" said the blonde. He proceeded to show her...by climbing up to the rafters, and hanging upside down. The boss walked in, saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he was doing? "I'm a light bulb" answered the guy. "I think you need some time off," said the boss. So, the man jumped down and walked out of the factory. The blonde began walking out too. The boss asked her where did she think she was going? The blonde answered, "Home. I can't work in the dark". - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Strenuous Monday Work
Keep it for a rainy day, or to keep a child amused; it's as good as (or better than) the electronic bubble wrap you could pop :) It's rained here all day, impossible to make lace (too dark), no fun going out for a smoke... I've enjoyed it, and hope y'all will too.

However, this is exactly the sort of pillow that I use for demos. Mine is an original, from the estate of one of the Great Lakes Lace Group members who was Puerto Rican. When I bought it, I had no clue what the little ridges at the top were for. They looked really odd. I wrapped a pattern around the roller and began working, and the minute I needed to move a bobbin out of the way, it *instantly* became clear what the notches were for. I didn't even think about it until AFTER the bobbin was hung up, and I said "OH!". The little box is really useful. Spare bobbins, extra thread, scissors, my wallet (if I'm not wearing pockets) ... all go in there. Makes it much easier to carry, and when it sits on my lap it's high enough to work on without a separate table. If you really need them, I could make tracings off mine for you. -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Problems and solutions.
This story is similar to one doing the rounds in South Africa - what did Zimbabwe use before candles ---electricity :-. Jeanette Fischer, Western Cape, South Africa. Problems and solutions. When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity. (Ink won't flow down to the writing surface) In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting (Accenture today). It took them one decade and 12 million dollars. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, under water, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

Re: [lace-chat] Christmas on the cheap!
Dear Lynn, and Lace-makers,
> >
> > So what have your favorite Christmas gifts been, that didn't cost much?
> >
Time and energy! (It's the thought that counts . . . !)
The best ones I've received all seem to have been occasions when others have
really considered what was getting in my way, and cleared it away for me.
The gifts of freedom, and peace of mind.
Such as when I was feeling low, having come out of hospital with strict
orders to rest, but had to try to do it looking at a home that was a mess:
my friend went into the kitchen to make me a hot drink, and didn't go home
until she'd cleared a mountain of washing up and an acre of sticky surfaces.
Such as taking dictation when I was weary and arthritic, but had a mountain
of paperwork looming over me. Such as helping me to finish cherished
projects that were becoming impossible because something had cropped up.
Such as the gift of portions of their own home-made food for the two of us,
and sincere good wishes, so that we felt part of their festivities. Such as
anything home-made - and this includes letters. People's time is in such
short supply these days, that this shows me that I'm really valued,
(particularly letters of thanks, which I always treasure and re-read).
Here's a way I've used of cutting costs, if you know you can give the same
thing to several different people. Get packs of various nice things to have
in the bath - fizzy bath salts, scented tealights (and matches), wrapped
sweeties, and so on, (preferably at sale time, but I appreciate that it may
be too late for that, this year.) Divide them up so that you put one of
each thing aside for each person. Wrap them up separately and then pack
each person's collection into a single container - half the fun is in taking
off the paper and finding lots of surprises. (I save any little boxes and
the undamaged parts of any pretty wrappers I receive during the year.) Add
a note with the instructions for a luxurious bath. ('Lock yourself in
bathroom; run hot bath; light candle; drop bath bomb into the water; get in
and soak while eating chocolates . . .', that sort of thing.) You may have
to add the gift of baby-sitting or something so that your present can be
really enjoyed, but that will just make it all the more appreciated.
Finally, my sister is a teacher, and finds herself inundated with small -
but no doubt pricey - objects, every Christmas and Summer. At her school,
they're trying to persuade parents to contribute time instead: such as
helping with school events and outings, when as many extra pairs of willing
eyes and hands are beyond price. Alternatively, ask what's needed - those
bits and pieces you were going to throw away might be just what they want
for craft projects, or dressing-up, or wet playtimes.
Hope these ideas help you to be creative,
Linda Walton,
(in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K.,
where the rain has gone away for a day,
and the Sun has shone all the time. Hurray!).
