[lace-chat] horoscope

2008-04-03 Thread Janice Blair
My DH laughs at me when I read my horoscope.  I am always amazed that it fits 
my day but he says you can always make them fit.  Well, yesterday I was going 
to be filmed making lace for tv and I read my horoscope in the local paper:

"Your chances for advancing a special interest you've been harboring for some 
time is better than usual.  Without being self-serving, push for what is 
personally important to you."

Now that fits my day and life, especially about lace.  Before the interview I 
did ask, at least three times if I could mention the lace convention we are 
arranging , and did give all the information during my interview.  Harry 
Porterfield, the tv reporter, said that if it was cut there would be a link on 
their webpage.  I watched tv and at the end I was complaining that they had not 
mentioned it, when my DH shushed me because the anchorman was talking about the 
convention. I did watch it again and I was pleased with what the studio team 
said about lace making and the convention.

[lace-chat] Another odd item on ebay

2008-04-03 Thread Jean Nathan

Sharon:

item is a Tuffet.  It sounds as though she thinks a tuffet is a type of lace 
pillow.>


I emailed the seller and told him/her three reasons why it isn't a pillow 
and added it's a footstool, also known as a tuffet. Got an email back saying 
thanks for the information and he/she would change it. Got a strange idea of 
changing it.

Now the page says "With thanks to the ladies of the Lacework guild, this item 
is a Tuffet.  It sounds as though she thinks a tuffet is a type of lace pillow.

Re: [lace-chat] Another interesting item on Ebay

2008-04-03 Thread Brenda Paternoster

Hi Malvary

Here is another interesting item on e-bay.  Item No. 190210152964 is a 
stiletto and a bobbin both on the same spangle.  Not very easy to work 
with.
I seem to remember pinning bobbins together by their spangles in a 
recent workshop!!
I haven't had time to do any lacing since I've been home, but I will 
send you a photo when it's finished.


I thought that perhaps the stiletto was in fact a second bobbin with 
the head broken off.  I guess it still could be and it was ground down 
to make a stiletto.
I think you are right - and I don't think they were originally joined 
in this way.  Even though the beads are old I think it's a fairly 
recent respangling job.
