[lace-chat] Re: [lace] Lace patterns in nature

2005-03-15 Thread Pene Piip
If any one would like the challenge of making a pattern, I won't be offended.
And I think it is preferable to call them sea-stars than star-fishes 
because
they are just not members of the fish family  are exoskeleton creatures.

I just have not enough time at present due to getting other things done.

Hi Pene et al,
The starfishes are lovely, and that one in particular looks as if he ahs
been decorated.   My grandson is here ate the moment - he has been poorly
with am attack of sickness, and has very nearly completed his basic snake
bookmark today (he has already made a cat in tape lace for his Mum) and
thinks 'someone' ought to make a pricking for a starfish just like the red
one .

 Many years ago I saw a photo of a sea-star that looked as if a
 lacemaker had  thought that it needed some decoration added.

[lace-chat] Armenians

 (Karen wrote) Hitler had learnt however that noone remembered the
Armenians.  Now if this had come up last week, I would have no idea.
This week, I have been watching 1914-18 with my son, and I have learnt
so much about WW1. 
 (Tamara wrote) we sort-of knew what the Turks did to the Armenians
during WWI
 
This morning, I was skimming the chat-digest, and came across the emails
about the Armenians.  I walked away from the computer for a minute
because my son was getting ready to leave and I wanted to spend those
few minutes with him.  We were talking about all kinds of things, when
he mentioned a friend of his at school (they both tutor) and how much
fun this person is.  He was talking about things this young man had said
about his family background (his father fled to the US as the result of
a massacre in their homeland in the 1980's), and my son was trying to
remember what his background was.  I said, Armenian?  
 
I was right.
 
(Always the student, I did a google search after he left.)

[lace-chat] Thank you S.P.

To my American S.P.
I hope that both you and your son are getting over your injuries and are
feeling much better.
 Your package arrived today, quite a surprise as it has only taken four days
to get here. I love jelly beans, but will have to let Roger enjoy most of them
as I am not able to eat candy. How did you know that I intended buying beading
wire at the lace fair this week-end.
I have been looking for some special beads to spangle the six bobbins that my
son made me for Christmas, I now don't have any excuse not to spangle my
special bobbins. I have just the project for the cross stitch cloth, I just
need to find the chart that I have put in a safe place g.
I think that I will use the linen thread to dress a ballerina doll in lace.
Thank you so much for the goodies that you sent to me, I am very lucky to have
you as my S.P.
I do hope that your knee is well on the road to recovery and is now causing to
much discomfort.
Happy lacemaking

[lace-chat] Fwd: Fw: Blonde Joke

2005-03-15 Thread Jenny Barron
I've not seen this one before - made me giggle

jennybarron

Scotland



A blonde was driving home after work, and got caught in a really bad
hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it
to the repair shop.

The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, and decided to have some fun.
He told her just to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard,
and all the dents would pop out.

So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started
blowing into her car's tailpipe. Nothing happened. She blew a little
harder, and still nothing happened.

Her roommate, another blonde, came home and asked,What are you
doing?
The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow
into the tailpipe in order to get all the dents to pop out.

Her roommate rolled her eyes and said...HEL-L  
You gotta roll the windows up first!
