[lace-chat] Silly, silly joke
Morning, Spiders! I don't usually indulge in jokes here *but* this was such a groaner I had to pass it along. May your threads never tangle, Cindy Cindy Hutton Norfolk, Virginia USA Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were having dinner at an expensive New York restaurant. It was the place to be seen and both had dressed for the occasion. Ginger was resplendent in a ball gown and diamond tiara while Fred wore his smartest morning suit. But the evening was marred when the waiter bringing their deserts tripped and covered Fred from head to toe in treacle sponge. I'm terribly sorry, said the waiter. You should be replied Fred, Thanks to you I've got pudding on my top hat, pudding on my white tie, pudding on my tails.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
My dear Secret Pal, Well - another lovely package, and timed just right too!The card is beautiful, with lovely words, so I will treasure that. Friends have been so kind, and sent such lovely cards, and they all help to make an awful situation just that bit more bearable. The 23rd Psalm is one of my favourites, and, along with the other little card 'God is before me' has gone straight into my Missal - I am so pleased with them both, and again, will treasure them. The beads are great - I love spangling, and I very often get the urge to re-spangle bobbins, so I will have a good supply of beads to use!The tin is lovely too - I love collecting tins of all sorts of shapes and sizes, so you can rest assured that it will be put to good use - possibly as a safe haven for beads and ready-made up spangles, so I do thank you for it. The chocolates inside it didn't last very long at all, so you can guess how pleased we were with those ... The thread is great - you can never have too much thread, can you!The patterns I am (still) designing for my sister's charity tend to use the DMC crochet cotton, so it will be well-used indeed. Lastly, the little book of Hope is lovely, and so inspirational - I have kept it by my bed, with my prayer books, so it is used almost every night! Thank you so much for your gifts - I think of you each time they are used, and I am so grateful! Love and God Bless, Carol - in Suffolk UK - where it is wet and not as warm as it should be!As soon as they slap a hose-pipe ban on us, the rain appears - maybe a hose-pipe ban is the UK equivalent of a rain dance ...

[lace-chat] What am I doing now?
Just about to set up a simple bookmark. Pricking done, now spangling the bobbins. I am attending a craft fair on Bank Hol Monday, first time ever, and just want a simple demonstration piece if needed. I was going to plant some vegetable seeds today, but my plot is like a mud bath and it is raining! The authorities tell you to save and store water, but all my rainbutts are full up. that means that I have about 650 gallons of the stuff stored. My greenhouse is full of plants ready to go out, but it is a bit fresh to harden them off. Apart from that, I am not doing a lot at the moment, but hopefully after this week, when teaching finishes for me till September, I'll have time to make some lace, cross stitch etc., that is if it rains. Agnes Boddington Bobbin Maker - will ship worldwide. To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
