[lace-chat] S.P. thank you
Thank you for your parcel which arrived this morning, as I waited for the bus picking up my daughter,so we stood on the front lawn and opened it, taking things out one at a time and talking about it. The card was just lovely, did you make it?Well I would never have thought of that with the horseshoe, must admit with an up coming wedding (D.S) I had a couple of other thoughts. I will take it to lace on Friday and see if anyone can guess, but I will certainly try it. I have had a look through the cook book, and started to get a few ideas for tea. The heart I will find something to go in it, the lavender sachet smells so nice I will put it in my lace cupboard, to keep it nice. the magnet is terrific, I had one but I think DH took it, he thought it great for retrieving lost screws while he is doing repairs this I will hide. I will have to find a project for the threads, and the sweets are very tempting, but I will share them with my grandchildren on Friday, when I go over for my grandsons 13th birthday, The badge I will put in my collection. Yes I have done a few other crafts, and am trying to find time to do some more patchwork at present, I have done the teddy bears, and am knitting scarf's at present. So a very big thank you again Margaret in cold Mt.

Dear secret pal in Australia, Many thanks for the lovely parcel of goodies that arrived this morning. Every time that I thought that I had everything out of the envelope I found something else !! I need a new keyring for my locker at work so thank you very much for the keyring. I love the smell of lavender at will put the sachet in in a drawer so thank you for that also. I love the bookmark and have already put that in my bag of bits that I am taking on my hols. The little card of the possums in great and it is hard for me to imagine them on your roof !! Thank you also for the needle case, the Finca thread and the beautiful scissor weight. All will come in very handy. I am very lucky to have you as my secret pal and look forward to next month !! Best wishes, Anne Nicholas Hanworth, Middx. England To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Anne - I wonder did your secret pal tell you that possums also have the habit of staging large, noisy fights in the tree-tops at night?? We have ring-tailed possums in our neighbourhood (in suburban Sydney - you don't have to live in the country to have possums around) and they apparently have a variety of homes around the area, moving onto the next one when they've exhausted the food in a particular area. They were very noisy here a few months ago, till one night they came down out the trees and ate ALL the new plants (many, many pounds worth!) in our garden. A couple of nights later, I noticed all was quiet, and discovered they'd moved on (presumably to the next freshly-planted garden!) The ring-tailed (so called because they have a white ring around the tail) possums use the overhead electricity wires as a sort of aerial footpath to walk along and cross the streets. It's a bit hair-raising, watching them - they wobble so much I keep waiting for them to fall off, but I've never seen one fall yet.

[lace-chat]RE: Sad news
I am so sorry to hear about Betty Alderson. I had the opportunity to know them from attending workshops in Omaha, NE several times. She and Pete have been such an asset to the lace world. They have provided many of my supplies for tatting and bobbin lace. My heart goes out to Pete.

[lace-chat] RE:Christening gown/UFO
Jean, You could just do a "crazy quilt" type sweater with your wool. My mum (Liz in Melbourne, Oz) has made 1 or 2, and I think maybe got the idea from her Mum (she'll know that story for sure), and you just knit each block as it tickles your fancy. Wish I had a picture to share, but I don't. They look kinda cool, and are a fun way to use up little scraps of yarn. Lots of end to sew in though :-( Cheers, Helen, Aussie living in sizzling Denver To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
