[lace-chat] For David Collyer (Polish words)

2004-09-21 Thread Tamara P. Duvall
Sorry to post to the list, but I've tried - three times - to send this 
message directly to David, and every time it had been rejected... Since 
my time for putzing around with the dratted machine is limited...

My cousin Pam is currently in the process of importing a couple of 
West Highland terrier dogs from Poland to Australia.
The world is small :)
Each one has the same words after its name and she suspects it's their 
Kennel Name.
It may very well be the name of the kennel. "Urwiska Szkocji" means 
"Crags of Scotland", and there aren't any in Poland :)

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Martha vs Maxine

2004-09-21 Thread Tamara P. Duvall
The original had two pictures - one of Martha Stewart and one of Maxine 
(whoever she might be). I've removed them, so that I could forward the 
message to chat - it's too good not to. And I may not know who Maxine 
is (looked like a cartoon character), but she sure is a kindred spirit 


From: B.B.
Martha's Way
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent
ice cream drips.
Maxine's Way
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake!
You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it,
anyway!
Martha's Way
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the
potatoes.
Maxine's Way
Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a
year.
Martha's Way
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the
dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside
of the cake.
Maxine's Way
Go to the bakery!  They'll even decorate it for you.
Martha's Way
If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a
peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant
"fix-me-up".
Maxine's Way
If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad.  Please
recite with me the real woman's motto:  "I made it and you will eat it
and I don't care how bad it tastes"
Martha's Way
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it
will keep for weeks.
Maxine's Way
Celery?  Never heard of it!
Martha's Way
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a
beautiful glossy finish.
Maxine's Way
The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites
over the crust; so I don't.
Martha's Way
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your
forehead.  The throbbing will go away.
Maxine's Way
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!
Martha's Way
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing
gloves.  They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
Maxine's Way
Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.
Martha's Way
Don't throw out all that leftover wine.  Freeze into ice cubes for
future use in casseroles and sauces.
Maxine's Way
Leftover wine HEL-LO !

We learnt about this when we were both at school, too many years ago,
now we can't remember.

[lace-chat] swedish help needed

2004-09-21 Thread Janice Blair
Hi,
I have just finished a tape lace design based on the Swedish red wooden darla  
horse.  Whilst I was working on the design I found some photos of horses for sale but 
no information and searching today under different spellings, etc., brought no 
success.  Can anyone tell me story behind the horse.  Is it lucky or is it a seasonal 
thing such as Christmas?  I was hoping when I frame them that I could put some 
appropriate Swedish words or phrases around the picture.  Does anyone have any answers 
for me?  Thanks.
Janice
