[lace-chat] Christmas
Our families are also very far away. I usually make a log, made creme brulee instead this year. I think one is as decadent and indulgent as the other. I only make them at Christmas. On Christmas eve, I put out nuts, a big cheese board, crackers and breads, veggies, ect and we grazed. Cooked a lot next day. But the nice thing about being home, with no guests is taking a nap when you want and delaying dinner if you want. And I did. I've read 2 Ruth Fielding books, and worked on my shawl. There are 16 pattern pieces, I have 5 left! Ruth Feilding was a series written in the 1910's - 1930's for girls. There are 30 books, we've managed to get all but the last 8. It's easy reading, perfect for lying in front of the fireplace. DH and oldest DD, (who works at a Starbucks branch inside a department store and says they are very, very busy) are off to work, I'm going to do laundry, clay, lace, and write thank you notes.

Aren't the usual 750ml bottles for one person? Jen, how am I supposed to drink my cough stuff (in a sherry glass) with you making me fall off my perch like that (cough, cough, giggle, splutter)? DD2, Hannah, believes the 750ml bottles are one person, too - especially as neither DH or I particularly like the stuff! We went out for dinner on Christmas Day (to a fairly local Harvester restaurant - we started going out about three years ago, mainly because then I don't have to spend the morning cooking and DH doesn't have to spend the afternoon washing up!) and then to DD1's for the afternoon and evening - it was GD1's first Christmas and it looks as if she might get the hang of unwrapping presents by the time her birthday comes round next month! She'd had lots of noisy toys, and clothes, and was determined to stay awake as long as possible. I'm doing my normal trick, going down with a cold whilst I haven't got to go to work (it was always the same at school, ill during the holidays!). Lace related presents were a pair of bobbins and one of those circular Moravia (?) brooches that you hang lace on the bars across the centre. Haven't got any lace done, but at least I can now get to my pillow (for those on the Gazette forum, we found the living room carpet on Christmas Eve)! I can't say whether it was definitely Demon (our ISP) with problems yesterday - we didn't have time to put the computer on! But, with the news reports of all the sales, and umpteen million spent in on-line shopping sprees, I'm amazed the lot didn't grind to a halt! -- Jane Partridge To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] 750ml bottle
I'd have said that the 1litre bottle was a possible 2 person size. Mind you, my DD bought me a wine glass a couple of years ago for Christmas it holds 750ml, so surely the 750ml bottle must be a 1 person size!! (Only to be consumed when not having to drive within 24 hours) Hope everyone had a great one, Good luck for the new year!!

[lace-chat] prayer needed
Dear lacefriends, we did have a somewhat difficult Christmas time this year. One of our DDs was diagnosed with a cerebral tumor the week before Christmas. Tomorrow morning the surgury is sheduled to remove the tumor. Yesterday DH and I took Dorothee into a special neurochirurgical clinic about 120 km away from us. Tomorrow we will visit her there after the operation. Please pray, if you can.

[lace-chat] Cake recipe
Dear Alice, Thank you for the cake recipe. Sounds like a good one to take to my British club pot luck supper in January and I bought some chopped walnuts today. Nice and easy. Dear Dora, I only just received the Lace Digest with emails from before Christmas so I am sending a belated Happy Christmas to you. I should make it a New Years resolution to change and get the reflected mails. I wonder if I have to cancel my digests before I can get the reflected mails? I will take this opportunity of wishing everyone a Happy New Year, a prosperous and healthy 2008 and lots of time to make lace.

RE: [lace-chat] prayer needed
Martina, of course all our prayers will be with you and your family at this worrying time. I hope she will soon be well again after the operation.

Dear Martina, As an atheist, all I can do is keep my fingres crossed and my thoughts focused on the best possible outcome and I'll do that. May the operation be fully successful and the recovery speedy and smooth, so that you can end the old '07 on a happy note and ring in the New Year with joy.

[lace-chat] Lonely
Thank you very much you kind lacemakers who send me your messages. My dinner was a fiasco, because my duck did it her way and was not cooked as it should be. Perhaps I should have taken more care not to taste so much of the wine (out of a normal big bottle) but I thought and still do, that a bottle the normal size, should not be kept half full for days. Housework was out of the question, so just to see if all was well in the attic, I spend some time there, looking at things I forgot I had. And I found some Lacestamps from Germany. Old ones. If interested let me know and I will send them off. If several lacers are interested \I will have my neighbour pull the winners. And now I will have to prepare myself for the housework, but something urges me not to do any until the end of the year because I will have to see the New Year in and that means it can only be done with another drink or two or ... So I wish you all a Happy New Year PROST NEUJAHR.

Re: [lace-chat] Christmas
I had to run out and buy eggs this morning, having used them all up making Christmas goodies. And I need a dozen to devil for New Years. We have one Christmas party to go -- my great-nephew caught cold, and his mother thought it might be contagious, so she postponed her party a week. (Not to mention that noise and excitement would not be good for a sick baby.) -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.
