It's tatting with some outer rows of mignonette tatting. It looks like the round Spiderweb doily from the Tatters Treasure Chest.

[lace-chat] MP-Tatted Crosses E-Book
Hi lacers, I realize that most of the folks on arachne are bobbin and needle lacers, but I know there are a few tatters amongst the crowd. So, for the interested, the web pages are up and running now with a working order form: http://www.gagechek.com/slb/tcbook/tcbook.html Since I only posted the cover page of the book on my web site you may want to check out the second page of pictures in my album: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lace2tat/my_photos As soon as I figure when to put that second picture it will probably end up on the web site too. I apologize for the commercial post, but I figure that even the people not interested in buying will probably enjoy looking at the pictures. I know I do, when other folks have posted their images.

[lace-chat] MP- Tatted Crosses E-book available in time for Easter
Hi tatters, I've finally managed to get all of the models re-tatted and held on to them long enough to get their family photo taken. grin Boy, the stuff sure doesn't last long around here, I have to hide it as soon as it's done or it gets given away. I wanted to get a couple of pages of colour pictures for the book so they could be seen altogether as a reference for size and shape and just as I got them all done somebody would really NEED one. Anyway, the cross bookmarks are done, their pictures have been taken and the book is ready. There are 16 patterns of varying difficulty and each pattern is on it's own page so you can print the page you need and tuck it in your pocket with your shuttle. This is an E-book that will be sent out in .pdf format and it's just over 2MB in size. The cost is $14.00 Canadian for anyone using PayPal or $11.00 US for Americans paying by check (or $14 for Canadians paying by cheque). I may, at a later date, publish it in a pocket size format saddle stitched so it'll end up 5.5x8 and this time I'm going to be smart enough to take the pictures before the crosses get taken :-) For anyone interested in a preview of the items I've uploaded the pictures to my photo album and DH should have all the wrinkles out of the order form this weekend. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lace2tat/my_photos Sharon Briggs To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Desperately seeking MS Office help .
Hi everyone, Hope you're all starting the new year off with a bang. Me, I'm stuck in a muddle I hope someone can help me out of. My dear hubby, the computer geek took on a project for one of our clients who wants him to do a major program. This client does parts testing for other companies and they want to automate their system. They need to keep track of all of the parts that they test regularly, according to specific requirements and then recall the parts at specified intervals. The client wants this done in Microsoft Office 97 and doing the reports is a piece of cake but programming the recall and automatic report numbering is a bit of a challenge when neither DH or I have ever used MS Office. He'd be laughing if they wanted custom software, as that's easy for him, but using Office to do what they want is a bit of a challenge especially since in the month since he accepted the job he's had the worst attack of Meniere's he's ever had. He may moan and groan like most guys when he's sick but he NEVER goes to bed with it. This last month he's been so distracted by the noise in his ears and so dizzy he's hardly been out of bed. Roaring noise in your ears, dizziness and nausea are all symptoms of Meniere's and there isn't anything that can be done for it. Anyway, I've tried to pick up this project and run (read stumble) with it. I can see how to set up an Excel spreadsheet to store and retrieve all the data. I can manage to get most of the data into an Access database, sort of, but I am totally lost with how to get Office to read a specific cell with a date, apply a frequency to it and output the information into another cell and put all of these bits into several different reports. I can see that Visual Basic is used to program some of this stuff, but I'm not a programmer and DH is a wizard with C and Assembly Language but he's hasn't used Basic much. His head is spinning so much that he can't sit and read for very long and his concentration isn't all that good. So I'm hoping that someone here has used Office enough that they can point me in the right direction. I've been reading up in a couple of books trying to get a grasp of things and I usually catch on fairly quick, but learning all of MS Office so that I could put together a usable package for this client in short order is a huge undertaking when I've never done anything like this before. I have about 15 differnt types of reports to handle about 50,000 different pieces of equipment belonging to various customers. The whole thing has to be made to be self sustaining, so that the staff can add, delete and change any or all of the reports as it becomes necessary. I'd really like to get a handle on this so that I can get it over with and get back to tatting. I'd rather retro tat a whole doily than struggle with this, but it's got to get done. I know if there's anyone that could help out it'd be someone in lace chat so I'm hoping the computer geeks in chat can give me a hand.

[lace-chat] Re: Black squirrels
I must be lucky. I get black gray and red squirrels in my back yard. Although, I have only had one red squirrel. It chewed it's way into my bird house one day and when we took the bird house down to fix it, the red squirrel disappeared. The blacks and grays chase each other up and down the trees, along the fences and around the yards all year long. I have had a bird feeder and bird bath out for years so my backyard is a major feeding centre. We had to take the feeder down this year as there have been some major problems with both birds and squirrels doing damage to the houses. The neighborhood has requested that people stop feeding the critters as they have become a serious problem. They haven't done anything to our house, but a number of our near neighbors have had a lot of trouble. So in the interest of keeping peace we have taken the feeder down. I still throw out the occasional handful of food, sunflower seeds, not mixed food. I used to get the wild bird seed mix, but I found that it was full of seeds that a lot of birds don't eat. The feeder was positioned over the concrete patio to cut down on the amount of bird seed taking root in the garden I used to have to shovel up a lot of the stuff the birds wouldn't eat. When I switched to sunflower seeds I got the same type of birds using the feeder and only seed shells to shovel up. The squirrels really like it and they love the peanuts I throw out for the blue jays. I think part of the reason they chase each other through my yard is to lay claim to the peanuts. The grays are bigger and bolder, although both types that hang around my yard are fat and sassy.

A few years ago the city of Toronto had a herd of 300 critters made, but ours weren't cows they were moose. Much more appropriate that cows and the horns are useful for hanging up a lot of hats and coats. Some of them were very creative at least one of them was decorated in a Mountie outfit. Some of them were downright ugly, but a lot of them were quite cleverly decorated. They're probably still roaming around TO, but I haven't been into the city for a while to see them.

[lace-chat] Scanner problems
Hi lacers, I noticed several people commenting on problems with their scanners not working properly and just thought I'd mention something that we discovered with ours. We find that if the scanner is turned on before the computer is booted up, it works. If we don't turn it on first it doesn't. So every time I want to scan some lace I have to turn the scanner on and then re-boot. I don't leave the scanner on all the time because I don't want to burn it out and I don't use it every day. I used to have the scanner and the computer on the same power bar and if the scanner didn't hit it's ready mode before the computer had loaded Windows, Windows didn't even acknowledge that there was a scanner connected. That might have been David's problem and hitting the computer made it re-boot.

[lace-chat] MP-DMC Special dentelles size 80
Hi lacers, I have a question regarding DMC Special dentelles size 80 thread. I have used this thread for years and regardless of the vendor I buy it from it either comes loose in an individual little ball or in a box of little balls. The other day I bought a ball of it from Michaels and it was in a little plastic bag with a cardboard label on top bearing the DMC logo and the size, weight, colour and the words TATTING THREAD. This particular ball of thread was white and as I was running out of thread on a current project I grabbed the new ball and filled my shuttle back up. This new thread is TERRIBLE. It's stiff, it feels awful to the touch and it's harder to work with. I might not have noticed it so much if I were working a one shuttle pattern, but as it is every 4th or 5th ring is a split ring so I'm constantly using one nice old thread and the second horrible thread so I am constantly reminded of how ICKY it is. The thread is white so it isn't a matter of the dye affecting the thread and I've been doing a lot of tatting in different colours of DMC Special dentelles size 80 recently so I've been working with a lot of different balls of the same type of thread and this is the first time I've noticed this problem. I'm wondering if; A) that DMC is really cutting back on their thread quality, or B) packaging the thread in plastic bags is affecting the thread, or C) that the thread being packaged in this way for retailers is an inferior thread, or D) that I got one ball of bad thread. Has anyone else noticed a problem with the thread?

[lace-chat] Button Boxes
My mother was never one for sewing but she did own an old treadle machine for doing minor repairs and one of the drawers was full of an odd assortment of buttons. I added to the collection when I began sewing my own clothes. Each time I purchased buttons the extras went into the drawer. Consequently, when I moved from home I had no spare buttons and had to buy a little jar of buttons from a sewing store. One of the reasons people may no longer keep button boxes is that we use more zipper closures now and wear more T-shirts and sweatshirts that don't require buttons. People are more likely to send the whole garment to thrift shops these days, with all of the buttons attached. Sadly it seems that fewer people do their own cooking or their own sewing so that many of the younger generation wouldn't even comprehend what a button box was for. My MIL and SIL are the only people that I know, who not only keep their buttons, but actually sew them in size and colour co-ordinated patches onto a large square of fabric. Which I find really peculiar because neither of them sews! It's very organized (can anyone say ANAL) but what's the point if you have no plans to ever use them?

[lace-chat] Walnut shaped cookies recipe needed
Hi lacers, While shopping, a friend found some walnut shaped cookie molds and she remarked on these really scrumptious walnut shaped cookies her aunt used to make. The cookie molds sadly, didn't have a recipe with them and she was reluctant to buy the molds unless she was sure of having a recipe to use with them. The cookie she remembers, looks exactly like a walnut on the outside, but it's a light melt in your mouth kind of cookie. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Do you have a recipe? I did a search of the internet and found lots of walnut cookie recipes, but I have no idea what I should be looking for. None of the recipes I found required a cookie mold the coolies were mostly just formed into walnut sized balls. I know if there's a recipe around, someone on this list will have it.

[lace-chat] Recipe needed
Hi lacers, A friend and I were talking about cabbage rolls and she mentioned her Ukranian mother in law, made a cabbage dish that she remebered fondly, but had no idea how to make it. Her mother in law has passed away now so she can't be asked and I thought if there was one source that was sure to know it was all of the folks here. The family was Ukranian on one side and Polish on the other so I'm not really sure of the origins of the recipe. Apparently, from what my friend can remember, the cabbage was shredded and she thinks steamed, probably with onions and garlic, then crushed tomatoes were added and just before it was served a good measure of whipping cream was stirred in (not whipped, just as cream). She's not exactly sure what went into it or how it was prepared as she was visiting her in-laws at the time when her kids were little and she wasn't really paying attention. Now that the kids are grown up and she could have sat down and written out the recipe, her source is gone. So does anyone recognize it? Have a recipe for it? Or is this just one farm wife's personal method of preparing cabbage? I eagerly await your responses as I'm all for recipes that use both cabbage and tomatoes. They're available almost year round and healthy to boot. Besides which, I'd like to give my friend a recipe that she thought was gone for good.

Well, I know some of the statements are true, but I know that the Canadian two dollar bill when it existed had a Canadian flag flying over the parliament buildings. Depending on the year of the bill it would have either a union Jack or the Ontario flag flying over Parliament, never the American flag. Since the $2 bill has been out of circulation for some time now, I had to dig out the old ones I'd saved just to check. They were newer ones so the flag is a Maple Leaf, definitely Canadian.

Hi tatters, I got this excerpt from another tatting list today and I thought you'd all enjoy reading it. Sharon from The Globe and Mail Tuesday, November 25, 2003 Social Studies, page A 22 Future Hops. This is St Catherine¹s Day. On the eve of the holiday in old England, lace makers had to sell the tatting that they had produced, writes author John Timson. Having sold their stock, the lace makers would celebrate in the evening with a Cathern Bowl, a powerful brew made from hot apple pulp, cinnamon and cider. Thus fortified, they faced the trickiest part of the celebrations. Each girl had to jump over a lighted candle that had been placed on the floor., swiftly enough not to singe her petticoats, but not so quickly that the draft blew out the flame, or that would bring her bad luck for the rest of her life. The chanted Kit be nimble, Kit be quick, Kit jump over the candlestick. Similar divination was a custom at medieval weddings, where grog-filled men tried to execute leaps without blowing out the candle flame to ensure a year¹s good luck. -from Timson¹s Book of Curious Days To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Re: Fireworks
Fireworks here, in South East London / Surrey have been on sale ALL YEAR ROUND. We are disgusted by the fact that every single weekend since June was have had fireworks going off Here in Canada, or at least in Ontario, fireworks are permitted on May 24th and on Dominion Day July 1st. At all other times it is illegal to set them off. There are exceptions, but those are by permit only. The laws relating to pyrotechnics were seriously tightened up after several children had fingers blown off, bottoms blown up, (from carrying large firecrackers called cannons in their back pockets), eyes blinded, from crackers going off in their faces and some really nasty injuries that made politicians move to regulate their usage. The companies selling the fireworks in the UK are probably getting their own way now, but as soon as there is a public uproar about them as a danger rather than as a nuisance you'll probably get more politicians on the bandwagon to either ban or regulate them. Common sense doesn't seem to move them until a large number of adults, or a small number of children, are killed or injured. Noise bothering a whole neighborhood won't do it, money speaks louder than complaints, but when there are people killed or maimed something positive will get done.

Forty thousand people have been evacuated from their homes, and one complete subdivision in the city of Kelowna has been destroyed, five others are now in danger too.

Sharon on Vancouver Island...watching for fires with the rest of the Valley I can understand the sentiment, but I suppose the largest blackout in the history of North America (was it 50,000,000 people affected?) and something that resulted in the Premier of Ontario declaring a state of emergency was something that was of such magnitude that it was deemed of interest to more of the national viewing public. Right in the middle of where it was happening, we needed up to date information all the time and those reports were essential. Many of the television networks are based in the Toronto area and for nearly 24 hours a lot of them were running on generators. The state of emergency was just lifted Friday evening and they had been required to reduce their electrical consumption by 50%. So even after some of the power was back on, they couldn't use it. I suppose things that are co-ordinated across the country are handled by the central computers so that even the reporting for BC was affected. Even so, here in Ontario we have been receiving regular reports on the situation in Kelowna, and even in the midst of what was happening here, the province sent men and equipment across country to help out. The fires are so enormous that they are visible from space, so we know there is widespread devastation. Several communities have been totally wiped out. The most effective help though is to pray for rain. Men and equipment are helpful, but a huge rainfall and winds to drive the fire back on itself would do more.
