You know which holidays are being talked about from their proximity to the new year. *Some* cards specify "Wesolych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia" (merry holidays of the God's birth), but not many; might have ben too much of a mouthful even for Poles :) Yours, upgraded, but still unable to see my own messages posted on the list as they come in... was hoping, but it was not to be; can't have everything, even at Christmastime, I guess :) - 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] Merry Christmas!
Gentle Spiders, This once, I shall cross-post to both lists, to make sure that everyone gets my best wishes for a very happy holiday season. May your Chrismas be spent in the warmth of family and friends, and may your New Year be peaceful and lacy (and may all the good food you've eaten on Christmas disappear from your hips by Jan 1) Almost everything that needed to be done is either done or under control. DH brought the tree inside on Saturday, 'cause I wanted to have it decorated by yesterday, for the arrival of DS and his girlfriend. The tree was listing to the side... "We'll set it up straight later", said DH. Tonight (Tuesday), DH and DS set it straight together (I was busy in the kitchen). I'l dress it tomorrow morning; I'm back to the Polish tradition afterall I'm even updated (as of a couple of hours ago), learning to find my way around the new OS, and masterfully overcoming my irritation with almost every new wrinkle; as soon as one "breaks in" one system to the point where it's almost comfortable, here comes an update... :) For the lace content: please go to: http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/windrose/windrose.html and click on the thumbnail for a larger view. It's the ornament (in 3 different colour combinations) that y'all helped with -- the meeting of skinny trails. Finished it too late to make it into a "proper" (s-mailable) card, but still in time for for those with e-access... - 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] "Return of the King"
Hi All, DH and I went to see "The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King" last night. *Really* good!! I thought Minas Tirith looked fantastic. I really liked all the sets and the armor was really interesting. The Signal Lights of Gondor also really impressed me - I guess a lot of that is the beauty of New Zealand . The costumes are really good too. The elves "tiaras" were lovely with an Art Nouveau influence. I think I liked it better than the second one because the battle scenes were intercut with other story lines so they didn't go on and on. And I liked seeing the armies massed and there were some interesting creatures in the battles. I was getting a little restless by the time three hours had gone by but I did wear my comfortable pants. For the first time, at age 53, I wore my sweat pants to the movies instead of my blue jeans . I need to accept things and buy bigger jeans but I'm not quite ready to! I'd taken some nicotine gum too since I knew I couldn't hold off for over three hours. Since I've read the books I knew I had to see Shelob and she'd be there at the end. She was quite impressive!! We had our main Christmas event last Saturday so things will be a little quiet this week. Ahh... That will give me time to delve into the Grimwood NL book that arrived yesterday . Happy Holidays!

[lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Hi Secret Pal, Your parcel arrived today and was a welcome relief in the middle of the Christmas preparations!! The presents that are wrapped I have put under the tree until Christmas day but I can thank you now for the ones that aren't wrapped. The cookie cutter is lovely and will be put into use today as I will be cooking Christmas biscuits later on !! Thank you also for the spider he is on the tree already and I have been reading the card that went with him and showing him to anyone that will listen and look. We do not have that story over here, well I've never heard of it anyway !! I will send more thanks after Christmas but would like to wish you and your family a Happy Christmas and Peaceful New Year !! Best wishes, Anne Nicholas in Hanworth, Middx.
