[lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Dear Secret Pal, Your parcel arrived last Thursday, which coincided with my Brithday so it made an extra surprise for the day. I was very pleased with all the contents - I'm always short of divider pins and the needle threader will be very useful. The pin cushions are really cute and the little bag will be useful for keeping thread in. I have just got back from a long weekend away so have only just been able to get to my computer to reply. Looking forward to finding out your identity next month Best wishesAndrea Want to get more out of e-mail? Then get Outlook Live!

Dear Secret Pal, Thanks for my parcel it is full of goodies as usual.The chocolate has been tested , just to make sure it survived the trip all right. My home smells lovely from my incense sticks ( I always burn incense ) my bath bomb smells beautiful can't wait to try it and last but not least my Brugge keyring, None of the other girls in my group will have one and it is lace tomorrow, time to show off a bit with my secret pal present. ;-) I am going to try to make the stork on the card you sent me, will try to graph it out when I am finished what I am currently doing. Next month I find out who you are, at this point I don't have a clue. Thanks again, Shirley.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
To My Secret Pal, I am so sorry for the delay in sending to you - we were away for a fortnight in the Lake District, so the package had to be picked up from the Post Office on our return - and Monday was a Bank Holiday, so couldn't be picked up till Wednesday. However - I am delighted, once again! The bobbin case is lovely - and as I was contemplating sorting out some of my stash of material to make another, it came just at the right time, as I can make more lace now, not bobbin cases! The chocolates received the seal of approval from the four grandchildren! (I managed to sneak a few too, and as chocolate covered peanuts are my favourites, they went down very well indeed.) The pin and the cloisonne bell are both delightful, so I am a very fortunate person indeed! The socks - I love them!They will be worn a lot, believe me! We have wood and tile floors in our house, and I tend to wear socks as slippers, but these will now be abused like that - they will be worn with shoes, so that they don't get more holey than righteous, too quickly! I am so looking forward to knowing who you are - this time, I really haven't any idea, but I love hearing your news and reading the cards. I expect you were so disappointed at not being able to go to the Kylie Minogue concert - I am sure we all wish her every success with the treatment, and hope that she'll be back fit and well, and performing very soon. I know what you mean when you say you want to spend as much time as you can with your Dad. I still have both my parents - in fact we spent the fortnight in the Lake District with them - and they only live in the next county, about two hours away, but even so, I think we all feel we don't see enough of each other. However - many thanks indeed for the May package, and I shall look forward to knowing just who you are this month. All best wishes, Carol To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thankyou
Dear Carol, It is lovely to finally know who you actually are. Thankyou for all your wonderful parcels and this last one is no exception. I enjoyed reading your letter, especially how you met your husband :-) Congratulations on your daughters upcoming wedding. An exciting time ahead. How's the garter going ? When I showed my husband the tea-towel from the English Lakes he was very interested. His family originally came from the Lake District and he loves the water and old boats. Hopefully one day we will be able to visit all these wonderful places. Thankyou also for the bookmark, I would love to see it and for the pillbox. I have a collection of small boxes so this is a very welcomed addition. The boobins will join my next project. Thankyou. I have really enjoyed receiving your parcels over the last few months and I look forward to keeping in touch. Kindest Regards Julie from New Zealand.

To my Australian Secret Pal A huge thank you to my new Secret Pal. What lovely gifts you have sent me - I am very lucky indeed! The threads are all very lovely - I particularly like the one with the variegated green shades. The pin badge will go on my pin cushion and the magnetic book mark has come at a perfect time. I am about to go on holiday - holidays are the only time when I find the time to sit and read a book! The tissue holder with my name on is superb - and is just a perfect size for my handbag. It was very kind of you to think of the children. I am saving the necklace to give to Bethany when we go on holiday and I think the big lollipop will last Matthew for ever! Sadly I think the Postman was a bit heavy handed with the parcel and the two bobbins have been broken during their journey to the UK. I am going to fix them with some superglue though as the woods are lovely and I am sure that they will still be useable. Thank you one again.

Hi Secret Pal in Australia, Thank you so much for my parcel of goodies that was here when I got home from work yesterday. The bobbins are beautiful and very unusual and I will think of you when I use them ! Thank you also for the ruler and lace pattern, I have not seen one like this before.

Hi to my Secret Pal, And many thanks for the package which arrived this morning - a lovely start to the day! The koalas on the needlecase are splendid, and I am delighted with the case too - it will have my supply of curved needles in it, as soon as I finish this!I am also very pleased indeed with the bobbin - that will be spangled and put into use almost immediately too - I have to renew some threads on the garter for my daughter, so it is very handy indeed. However, the address was still slightly incorrect - the 'Stratford' bit was omitted, so I'll let you have the full address again - as follows: Mrs Carol Adkinson 2 Swaynes, STRATFORD ST. MARY Colchester. Essex. CO7 6YQ UK The package had the post code on it, so it reached me, but I suppose its bettter safe than sorry, isn't it. Once again, many thanks indeed - take care, and may your pins never bend!

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you so much for the lovely parcel of goodies you sent this month. The metallic threads are wonderful colours and I look forward to experimenting with them.

I love the assortment of wools you sent also, I have a project or two that they can be used on, underway at present. Thank you also for the paper.

Dear Secret Pal Many thanks for your lovely parcel of wonderful gifts. I will be totally honest and let you know that it arrived last Friday. I have however been busy entertaining my nephew visiting from Canada. My children were so excited to see him so I am sure you can imagine it has been a very hectic time. Now he is visiting other relatives and I have time to catch up! I am so sorry for the delay in acknowledging your parcel. I could smell the gorgeous aroma from the soap before I opened the parcel - that one will be kept for special soaks in the bath when I need to relax!! The beads are very special and will definitely come in useful. The sewing machine badge is fun and will go on my pin cushion. The quilting patten looks great. I have never attempted this sort of quilting before - but my mum has! Maybe she will do it for me We had a lovely holiday - thank you for asking. It was very relaxing and nice and hot too. Don't worry about getting my son's name wrong (it was very close anyway) - he definitely enjoyed the lollipop!! It lasted for ages!! Once again, thank you for everything.

Dear Secret Pal in Belgium, Thank you very much for this months parcel. It was a nice surprise when I came home from work!!! I can't wait to start the bracelet, the colour is perfect, it goes with everything that I wear. I am going to use a translator I found on the internet to make sure I know what the instructions say. It will be fun to do. I will wear it and show it off at my next lace event. The beads on the divider pin are so pretty, I think I will use it as a pin on a jacket to start with. If I ever get short of a divider pin, I will know where there is an extra one. The card is lovely, the work that went into that project is unbelieveable.

Dear Secret Pal, I must first of all apologies for not replying sooner, I dont know how I managed to do it but I overlooked sending you this thankyou. I was thrilled to receive your parcel, thankyou so much for the lovely spider stamp. I have already put him to good use. The threads, wire and beads will be very useful also. I am slowly resorting my bobbins, threads etc and rearranging a few spangles so your timing is perfect. I am doing a class in a couple of weeks to make a new fancy recipe book so the pad will be perfect for putting in it. You must be a mind reader. As for the picture holder, I always have photos waiting for somewhere to put them so it will be very useful. Many thanks once again.

Hi Secret Pal, Thanks for this months parcel of goodies. I love the needle case and my aunty who is a lace maker and a bobbin maker will be very jealous when I tell her about the rescued trees! The bobbin is very unusual and I don't have another like it. I also love the spangles and will put them to good use. I had guessed in the end that you must of been here or sent someone else who was over. What a great pity that I missed you and Faye it would of been so lovely to meet you! I was at work but only work a mile away and could of popped home if I'd known you were coming. I'm surprised that you found our house at all ! Friends here have a problem with the aptly named Wigley Road and I'm not surprised you got lost trying to return ! What a fantastic trip you made and you were very lucky to visit so many countries and so many lace places! The past months have gone so quickly and I can't believe next month is the last.

Dear Secret Pal Thank you for another lovely parcel which arrived this morning. You must have bought loads of that pretty wrapping paper in my favourite colour! This parcel was just great, as always. I love the little teddy, and he supports such a good cause too. I support Breast Cancer Charities myself, as my Mum was a victim. The emery board is in another of my favourite colours and will be saved for a special occasion! The little candle holder and candle are so pretty - almost too pretty to use - and the apron will be pressed into service over Christmas, as the one I have now is a bit past its best, to say the least. (VBG) The little coin purse is so sweet. I like the belt loop on the back, and it will be so useful when I take the dogs for a walk, as I will not have to take my bag, but will have some change handy for parking etc. The serviettes/napkins you sent me in a previous parcel have been used and admired when we have had special visitors. I have never seen such pretty ones in England. I am greatly looking forward to finding out who you are next month. Thank you once again for my parcel.

Dear Secret Pal in Australia, Many thanks for the lovely parcel of goodies that arrived yesterday. I had a bad day at work so it was a welcome relief to have something lovely to open ! I love the teddy key ring ! It has already been added to my keys. I might follow your suggestion and use the fan sticks when I make the fan that I have been promising myself for about the last 5 years ! Although the actual fan is very pretty.

Hello to a very generous person! I was delighted to receive my package this morning! and what lovely goodies, beautifully wrapped, and with a lovely (hand-made) card too - what a person of talents! The wind-chimes are delightful - I am one of those who cannot go into a store selling windchimes without giving them a try, so I am really pleased with them. I will hang them over the window catch in the 'Lace Place' so that every breath of wind will activate them, and I will be reminded of you. The little calendar is very handy, so that is already stuck to the computer monitor - saves me straining to see the wall-chart my husband has on the wall, which is too high for me to see clearly, so that is greatly appreciated. The tape measure is a stroke of genius too - my 'Lacemakers' Circle' tape has just given up the ghost, so you must be psychic! Did you do the cross-stitch yourself - it is lovely, and will be treasured. Especially if it helps the inches of lace grow into yards ... The key-ring!No one else can 'borrow' it as it has my initial on it, so I am very pleased indeed with it - I do thank you very much. So - thank you so very much for all the goodies - I am really pleased, and do hope that your SP is as good to you!

I bulk buy beech midland bobbins from Tim Parker, so my commemorative bobbins (from lace weekends) and the bobbins I have received in a swap from Jeannette Fischer (south africa) glow in their beauty nestling amongst their less adorned brethren and your bobbins from last month and this month will join the other beauties.

Dear Secret Pal, today, when I came home, I found a very pretty envelop. It was so unusual, that I knew immediately it must come from you! The cross-stitch magazin is very tempting again. I love it! The necklace is pretty - Did you make it? I can't figure out the technique, but I really like it! The pencilcase will help me to keep my felt-pens for the colour-code drawings together and to see which are in place. :- My children like the shapes of the magic towels. I asked the girls, not to tell their little brother what they are. ** At the moment he tries to avoid taking showers and I told him to take the little "thing" in the bathtub with him tonight.

Hello to my Secret Pal, Well - firstly, I think you were very brave to sign up for the exchanges when you are moving house!Isn't that supposed to more stressful than almost anything else in life - but it sounds as if you are coping well! The package was delightful to receive! The small of the lavender even before I opened the package fully was great - I love the scented sachets, and the toiletries, and they are in use already. One of the sachets is in my car, and the other strung over the lamp above the computer - it will stop us getting stressed, I am sure. The colour of the thread is lovely too. I am getting (very gradually!) more adventurous with colures, and those muted colours I love. I will now have to find a 'special' pattern to use it. The little pink bag is super too - in fact, the lavender sachet is in that, in my car, so every time I turn a corner, I am reminded of you and your generosity! Now the ear-rings. What can I say? I am delighted with them, and am looking forward to wearing them - roll on Easter Day!!!You'd be surprised - I love the shell, and one of my class members toured Australia and New Zealand in a camper van for three months last year, and brought back some earrings - but she asked me to spangle a pair of bobbins with them as her ears aren't pierced, and she very rarely wears ear-rings. I was pleased to do it for her, but was very envious, as the Paua shell is so lovely - but now I have my own, so I am pleased indeed. I also owe you an apology for last month!I didn't mention the package of 'Mud' toiletries, did I.It wasn't because I wasn't pleased, it was because they were already in my bathroom, being used, so thank you so much for them - I sometimes have trouble as my skin is awkwardly sensitive, but they aren't causing any problems, and are definitely doing good! So - thank you once again for everything, I will hope that the move goes well and in a trouble-free manner, and also hope that your SP is as good to you! Love and God Bless, Carol - your Secret Pal.

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 ...

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for my parcel which came today. I'm glad nothing wrong happened to you, just a problem with your computer. I love the glass bobbin with the willemite in it and the little stone hart too. In the village where I live there were stone quarries till 1960, no willemite but blue limestone. Now the quarries became a natural reserve and the house of the quarry master became a stone museum. I'm tourist guide for the town of Ath and also for the stone museum, so this present is really appropriate and appreciated. The hibiscus pattern is wonderful. I just finished a duchesse design and my duchesse lace pillow is empty. Perhaps I will try this one and the pin cup will go on the pillow also. I have pincushions but they don't fit for the little duchesse pins, the pin cup will be perfect. The pencils are welcome in the lace design equipment and a little note set is always useful. Thank you once again for the lovely parcel. Liduina from a very windy and rainy Belgium.

To my awesome Secret Pal, I received your parcel today - DH brought to work for me after he had been home for lunch. I love it when he does that, it really makes my day :-) The bobbin holder is so lovely. I really love the bobbin pattern on the outer cloth, and to find the bobbin snug inside it was such a bonus. I love the colours on the bobbin - I am a big fan of strong colours. As for the wee note-box and pencil, that is just so cute. I am not quite sure yet where I will put it. it will be somewhere that I can see and use it regularly. I do hope you enjoy your trip to Greece and Athens. Cretan lace is a needle lace, isn't it? How lovely to be able to share a hobby with your mother. I have the incredible privilege of sharing the craft of card making with my DD - it's just such a pity that she lives a distance from us. Once more, thank you f or you gift, it is really appreciated.

Hello to my Secret Pal Well - the package brightened up a decidedly gloomy week! I have just come out of hospital, after suffering the pain of a kidney stone which felt like the Rock of Gibraltar, and fully expecting to have it all sorted!But - right up until Sunday afternoon, I assumed they were going to blast it to smithereens this week - then was told that, as there were a lot of admissions to the Ward on Sunday and Monday, I would have to go home, and wait to be called back. At which point they will repeat all the tests they have already done, and make an appointment to have it all fixed . We will see. Anyway - as you can doubtless imagine, I was so pleased to receive the parcel! The thread is lovely, so I am going to have to choose the project very carefully to use it - I'll let you know what I decide. I am also delighted with the little tool keeper - and even more pleased that you had obviously made it yourself!The flower is lovely, and I do thank you so much - it will be used constantly, and I will therefore think of you a lot. The whirly note pad is great - we get through a lot of notepads in our house, but I think this one is too special to use for 'ordinary' notes - only special notes will be written on it. The tea-towel is delightful with all those kiwis - it will be used as a pillow cover, so that everyone who sees it will admire it. Now - you must really be psychic!I was due to go to a Lace Day last Saturday, but was in hospital, being dosed up with morphine (and what a difference that makes)!So - my long list of needs and wants wasn't used, but top of the list came a storage thingy for the beads - and now, thanks to you, I have one! So - many thanks indeed for all your kindness, and I do hope you are as lucky with your Secret Pal as I am with mine! I am looking forward to next month, as I am so wanting to know who you are - you have given a few clues but I wonder if I am correct. Anyway - thanks once again for your kindness, and I shall look forward to next month, to finally find out who my delightful Secret Pal is. Yours with love and God Bless, Carol, in Suffolk UK To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Secret Pal, I received your parcel Wednesday, it was a sunray after a gloomy day. The day before was so sad : I first went to the funeral of a friend, in the afternoon I learned that my mother-in-law was taken to hospital and in the evening our old cat was run over by a car. One should be able to erase such days ! Anyhow, thank you so much for the special goodies that you sent. The magnetized notepads and magnets are already on the fridge. The sewing kit will go in my suitcase so I'll take it with me in Spain next month. I'll have something to do during my free time after the lace lessons I'll give there. When it will be finished I'll put my lace tools for demonstration in it and certainly the little cutter you also sent. This one seems really convenient to cut threads close to your work. I looked at the postcards also. You live in a beautiful region ! I'm looking forwards to next month when I will learn who you are. Thank you again. Liduina, from a sunny Belgium.

To My secret Pal in England Your parcel arrived today, and DH brought it down to work for me after lunch - what a surprises, as ever. The miniature bobbins are so cute, and I love the wee embroidery kit. The lace on the postcard and card is mind boggling... definitely something to aspire too! I hope your wee motif is as lovely. Thank you for the doily patterns. I must get back to my pillow now my DD's tablecloth is finished. Your comment about conquering your "fear" of leaves is a bit of a give away, so I may have worked out who you are before next month, as I can remember your comment in a posting. :-) HHHhhmm - OIDFA conference in Japan in 2010 - that's a bit closer than Greece. It's worth a thought and some saving. Once more, thank you and I look forward to the final round next month to see if my detective work is accurate.

Dear secret pal somewhere in the Northwest; unless you are being very tricky in your clues, I have a quadrant of the US to place you. Your gifts are so Pacific Rim, you have to be on the West Coast. But on the other clues, I'm lost. Thanks for the package. It arrived in good time but I have been taking some work training which is knocking me out. Thanks for the travel bobbins. No, I don't have a travel pillow but these are just great for keeping the threads from tangling. The candle is fun. It made me hungry for watermelon! They are in season or it would have been torture. The Seattle skyline is striking. Reminds me that I once looked into moving there. Now that we are starting our summer, it sounds nice. All we get in SoCal in the summer is too much heat and too much smog. It may seem odd, but me 12 yo son confiscated the lavender soap. It's his favorite smell. I'm hoping that bathing with it will help him sleep at night. He will share the incense with me but I didn't even let him see the lace. It is mine-- thank you. And I will plant the flowers in the front. I just have to figure out how to keep the gardener from mowing them or stepping all over them. He really is a great gardener and a very nice man, but he has cleared out my poppy starts three times this year. Guess I need to learn Spanish. thanks for making this so much fun.

Hi I got the most awesome package from my Secret Pal from England. I got a package for May, June, and July. My Mom is so jealous. I got glass bobbins! My Mom has wanted a glass bobbin for years. I gave her 2. I got some fantastic thread. When I start a new project I wont have to raid Moms thread now. How cool is that? Im putting 3 lace item in the fair this year. Last year I won second place with a tatted bracelet I made up. There were some great post cards. I am doing a research paper on Europe this year. Guess what will be in it? I got a super Arachne cover cloth and a neat keychain. How did she know I collect these? There was a prickingand a kit. I really loved my goody box. Thank You so very very much.

Dear Secret Pal: I got the package today and was very impressed at how early you were! I mean, it's only the 11th and here is August's package (ok, so now you have a clue about how totally confused I am). How did you know we would be on vacation the first week of August! I was so impressed with your ultra-organization. And, even though I thought it was for August, I ripped into it. Ate the candy immediately, will bathe with the aloe/cucumber soap (the whole package smelled of it, so lovely), will bathe Sunday in the green tea bath salt, will have to put my glasses on to put the tiny Mouse Trap game together (and not drink coffee for a day so I have steady hands), quickly put the lace roll away to use someday when I actually have enough lace to roll up, have found some GREAT instructions for preparing poppy plants by freezing the seeds and then starting them (which is good because my very kind and hardworking gardener keeps clearing away my poppy starts) and to top it all off, the goddess pendant was a bonus. If you can easily get another, that would be lovely because my son appropriated it. That is when I realized this package was a not-so tardy July package. Your special spot for tatting is beautiful and looks much cooler than we have been today. What a treat-- unanticipated presents. Poor memory and organiz- ation has its benefits.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for this months package. I love the handkerchief, is it an old one? The tiny bobbins are so sweet, perhaps I'll have to make a miniature pillow, or else make some new earrings. The special one I'll put with those I show when demonstrating, to show the variety. The little fish decoration will go in the kitchen and the heart in the dining room. I mustn't forget the little utensil which will be useful in my smaller bowls. Thank you again.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal - Merry Christmas!
Hi Secret Pal, I have been pestering my husband every day asking "Did it come?" and today, it did! I got your wonderful package. Receiving it at any time would have been a treat, but it arrived with plenty of time to spare for a Christmas delivery. As for January, the later the better. I always need a winter lift when all the glitz and activity of Christmas subsides. (But it's not winter where you are, is it?) So you're going to be off on a post-Christmas, **summer** holiday. California is not a very seasonal place. It is colder now, but just cold enough for a sweater, really. And it's been raining some, but hardly a dramatic seasonal change. I'm one of those people who doesn't think I need more than one of any thing, but now that I have two new pin cushions in as many months, I can see a real benefit of having each type of pin on a different cushion. And the cover cloth is charming. The print is busy with needles and scissors and spools of thread, but the texture is so silky smooth, just lovely. I really like the two bobbins and I must say that being not quite the same is just my style. There is a family story about the time I was sent to get new bath towels. I picked a polka dotted one and a striped one and a blue flowered one and so on until we had enough. It never occurred to me to get a MATCHING set. Do you know what wood the bobbins are made of, some native New Zealand type of wood, perhaps? I have collected an assortment of bobbins that capture my interest and I've about decided that all my unspangled bobbins need to be dressed properly (I am a dedicated square bobbin user, even have square binche bobbins), but I am not sure that it will be with beaded spangles. Maybe beaded lace frills (since I won't use them, but want to display them instead.) H. I'll have to think about that. I got a kick out of the New Zealand Lace Society magnet. It is always so interesting to see how each group symbolizes the art of lacemaking. I think the New Zealand symbol is kind of like a secret handshake. If you're not a lacemaker, you won't know that it shows two spiders and a stylized worker pair. Has anyone in New Zealand every worked the symbol in thread? It would make a dandy motif. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful trip in January, Thanks for all the goodies, Patty Dowden To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Secret Pal with the changing identity Thank you for another great package which arrived on Saturday, actually it's a package full of packages - must have taken you ages to wrap everything so beautifully. I have already put some of the beads onto bobbins; and I'm intrigued by the cards, especially the one with applied lace. At first I thought it was a piece of embroidered net and looked at at closely to see if it was hand or machine run and it's neither! Looks to be some sort of paint applied to the underneath of the net. I've not seen anything quite like it before. Did you make it or was it commercially produced? Either way it's going into my lace collection although I would like to know the name of the technique.

I really must say i am so lucky to have a SP that seems so in tune with me. You have touched me with your thoughtfulness, letting me have a pair of bobbins that have sentimental value.i will treasure them always. ( they are so very beautiful !) I have just started my first small square mat in torchon, so the piece you have sent will be invaluable as i compare me work in progress with how a finished piece should look. (with luck and determination i hope mine shall turn out half as pretty) The tea smells delicious, blackcurrent is a favorite of mine, the pincushion will be most useful, and the bathbeads used in those moments of stress after a long day at work to soothe and redirect my thoughts from work to lacemaking and Brittain. I empathise with your 3 hour trip home due to inclimate weather. Seattle really doesn't get much snow it seems we get a couple days a year but it's typically a laughably small amount to freeze traffic the way it does. Just a few inches and there is panic(which i do feel also- the thought of being on the road with people who are not willing to drive slowly and cautiously Terrifies me. :-) They get much heavier snow up in the Mountains or Eastern Washington. After i find out who you are I'll send some pretty snow pictures your way! Well, i'll be quiet now, and go back to lurking for another month.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the last parcel, it arrived yesterday and I took great delight in opening it. The Bobbin is lovely, and you are certainly spoiling me, as in Tassie there are not many bobbin makers and they don't make lovely fine ones. The beads are great and such a useful mix, I spent last night looking through them. The wire is always much needed and of course the thread. We do not have any thread suppliers in Tasmania so I just love to receive thread, I have used the Tanne and the DMC before but I am looking forward to using the C & F Linen thread, so when I have finished the Garter that I am currently working on (only 5" to go), I will start something with the linen.

Hello Secret Pal, The package arrived the middle of last week and the timing couldn't have been better. It was a real treat in a very busy time. My son is involved in a ballet that is performing this week and on the weekend. I have been sewing costumes constantly and driving him the 1-1/2 hours back and forth to rehearsals for the last couple of weeks. I had planned to send a thank you this last weekend but I ended up hardly being at home. I loved the snips. We had them at the theatre that I used to work for and I've meant to purchase a pair since then but never got around to it. The little honiton snowman bobbin is really cute and the needle kit has come at a good time as a couple of my other ones are slowly disappearing through the ballet. And I'm I real fan of maple syrup so I loved the candies.

The roller is brilliant and perfect timing, we are going to a suppliers fair on Sunday (will have to take the frog)as both my DH and I need some silk thread for making wedding garters (for two future daughters-in-law) and a roller was on my shopping list so it is just perfect. We shall enjoy using the eucalyptus rub too, smells nice, my feet will feel quite special after a long hike.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for this month's package - it arrived the middle of this week. I love the bobbin. I'll have to choose some interesting beads to spangle it with. The notepad and the sticky notes are great especially the really little ones. I run a book club with my 7th graders and they will be very handy for marking passages in the books (I'm always ripping up bigger ones). The ruler is really neat - I haven't seen one like it before. Now I have to figure out what I will put in the center. And I always love any sort of candy and the card is very cute. I'm assuming you made it. I'd be interested to know how you made it.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thank you
Dear Secret Pal, Your parcel arrived today, I have been visiting me grandchildren all day and arrived home to a wonderful surprise. The calendar is very nice and will help with the lace identification workshop I am doing later this year, the bobbins will go on my current piece of lace, and I am looking forward to making the Renouee it will be good fun. My grandsons overalls will look very nice with the kitten on them. Thank you very much, your parcel may have taken a little longer to arrive as it has been checked by customs in Australia. I am looking forward to working out the region of France you live in.

Re: [lace-chat] secret pal thanks
Anne - I wonder did your secret pal tell you that possums also have the habit of staging large, noisy fights in the tree-tops at night?? We have ring-tailed possums in our neighbourhood (in suburban Sydney - you don't have to live in the country to have possums around) and they apparently have a variety of homes around the area, moving onto the next one when they've exhausted the food in a particular area. They were very noisy here a few months ago, till one night they came down out the trees and ate ALL the new plants (many, many pounds worth!) in our garden. A couple of nights later, I noticed all was quiet, and discovered they'd moved on (presumably to the next freshly-planted garden!) The ring-tailed (so called because they have a white ring around the tail) possums use the overhead electricity wires as a sort of aerial footpath to walk along and cross the streets. It's a bit hair-raising, watching them - they wobble so much I keep waiting for them to fall off, but I've never seen one fall yet.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank You so much for the lovely picture bookmark. It is already in the book I just started. How did you know I needed an extra marker? The mountains are beautiful. The threads are so nice. I will wear my pin proudly when I go to town this weekend. You did a great job on making it. The mint Candy bar is a big hit. I did manage to get a small piece. The kids all three gobbled the rest. We are doing much better since the fire. We moved into another house and it needed a lot of work but we have a home again. Thanks a gain so much for the wonderful package. I hope you have a wonderful month. You sure made mine.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you very much for the lovely parcel that arrived today. I love the bobbins they feel so nice in my hands, and I have all tried the sweets and enjoyed then, the little fold up bag will come in very handy when I go shopping as will the mini address book. The postcard of all the regions in France bought some fond memories of my visit in 2002, (after the last OIDFA conference) and made my desire to go to Europe again next year stronger.

To my Secret Pal, thank you for the parcel which arrived yesterday, I am always looking for bookmark holders now I will have no excuse, so maybe for the family at Xmas. The sweets are so nice and sugar free, so I am enjoying them, I have not seen them in the shops near me. I am going to have to find a project for the threads, I have a few ideas when I finish my latest project, which is a fan with fishes on it, so far I am enjoying it. The wedding is in February, and I have done the garter, but DIL to be has asked for a ring pillow, depend how I go for time. The repair kit is going straight into the caravan, as that is the sort of thing that happens when you are miles from anywhere. Thank you on ce again.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the parcel of goodies. I arrived home today after making lace with friends to find it in the box. I love the card of the 'Kangourou" it is very cute, and the page up will come in very handy while making lace. The lavender bag is very nice as is the magnet and little woven basket. The puppy is very special. I will share the mints with my lace friends.

Thanks for replying Helene 5 bobbins; um use three of them to make a hair type braid and pass the other pair in and out of that and make some picots on either side.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the wonderful parcel, it arrived today. It was full of so many lovely things, the needlecase such a clever idea and so useful, the pin cushion is so cute I don't know whether or not to stick my pins in the little cat, the thread is always a bonus, the perfume sachet will make my lace cupboard smell lovely, and I love the lace bobbins they are truly beautiful and will hang with the collection that I have from other countries, but my favourite was the beautiful book on costumes in Breton, it is superb and I am eager to finish all the housework to start reading. Thank you very much, I am waiting until next month to find out you name. I am planning atrip with a friend next year and would love to meet you for a coffee.

Thanks to my wonderful new pal. It was great. I got a box of tea, cookies, my favorite chocolate mints, and real Scottish Shortbread. I am in Hog heaven. I also got a beautiful tin and a too cute ladybug. There was some metalic thread that I dearly love and a pair of gorgeous bobbins. I also got a beautiful homemade ornament and a bag of biscuit mix. The kids have helped me eat all the goodies but the biscuits and they are on the menu for today. Thank You so much for my goodies and I hope you have a wonderful month.

Dear Secret Pal, The parcel arrived today. At first I couldn't remember what I had ordered from the UK and then I realized it was from my secret pal! I love the bobbin! Did you paint it? The thread is great. I haven't heard of that brand before - it has a nice sheen to it. And I really like the bobbin holder. They are especially good when travelling with lace for extra pairs, thread, etc. Thank you so much for everything.

A big thank you to my Secret Pal. My bobbins are wonderful. I think the Lady bug will be my new favorite. I love the heart one also but Ladybugs steal my heart. The notecards will be used soon. I love my Lady Bug Inn so much. The Gingerbread mix was yummy and the kids and my Honey helped me eat the kisses in the heart box and the conversation hearts. Thank You so much.

Dear Secret Pal, My package arrived at a most opportune time. I wasn't having a very good day Wednesday and the parcel really cheered me up. I really like the pillow tidy - I have pinned it on my current project to hold the thread and scissors. I am a third of the way around a Cluny mat designed by Odette Arpin. And the bobbins will come in handy for my next venture, a black silk Cluny edging. And the pin is wonderful!!! I love it. The tape measure is already in my sewing bag that I take with me 'on the road'. I'm currently working on ballet costumes for my son's ballet company and I have to take all my sewing materials to rehearsals as several of us spend that time working on the costumes. The thread cutter will come in handy as well, as I can leave it on my serger (which doesn't have a thread cutter built in). Thank you so much for all the wonderful gifts.

I received my package from my secret pal. It was wonderful! I had some marvelous orange cookies I shared with my Spinning pals. I got some gourmet cocoa, that was super. The sweet little bear is holding my bobbin till I get it on a pillow. The chocolates were so yummy. I also got the most fantastic pair of socks. They have spiders all over them. They will be wore out before long because I now have to have them on to spin on my spinning wheel and make lace. They are very rarely off my feet. Thank You so very very much.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you so much for this month's goodies. They arrived yesterday. I love the Easter chocolates, although I am having to share them with the rest of the family. I'm certainly didn't wait for Easter to open them! My daughter has already unwrapped the cross stitch so I can start on it tomorrow. I think she would like it for herself but luckily she doesn't have any keys to add to it and my key chain really needs renewing. The pin is really cute - I love ladybugs. And I love the bobbin. I don't have many decorated ones so this was a real treat. Now I need to start a new project so I can use it. As well I need to find some small snowflake or Christmas patterns to make lace for the little hangers. They are great - I haven't seen them before. Thanks again for such thoughtful gifts.

What a great secret pal. I got my package today. To start with the lady bug and the ladybug Welcome garden stake are so precious. The ladybug buttons will have to go on something very special. The parasol sachet is in my drawer and the shampoo, conditioner, and washrag are in my bathroom. The celestrel bobbin is on my pillow for my new project and the notepad is on my desk. I love that Scripture so much. The coffee has already been drank with my honey bunch. Thank You so much you made my day after spending 4 hours of having tests run at the hospital.

Dear Secret Pal, I should have emailed a couple of days ago but our cat decided to have her kittens under the computer desk so we have tried to minimize the use of the computer. It has been quite exciting especially for the children. I don't know how many chances they will have to witness a live birth - I won't go into the details but suffice it to say this wasn't planned. Thank you so much for the great gifts this month! The bone bobbin pendant is beautiful and I will have to find some really special beads to spangle it with -as well as to spangle the other beautiful bobbin. I had read all the messages a while ago about the horseshoe so was really pleased to get one. I have a piece on the go now that will certainly benefit from it once I get to the halfway point as the threads will start to overlap the pins. And now that my knee has healed up enough I can soak in the bath with my fizzie ball. The cover cloth turned out to be a bag which is great because I don't have a nice bag to carry all my lacemaking odds and ends when I'm travelling. And of course the chocolate disappeared fairly quickly! I have finally got over trying to figure out what I ordered from the UK every time your parcel arrives. Now I spend the walk back to the house wondering what wonderful things you could have sent me this month!

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the wonderful goodies this month. The cat card was most appropriate. The kittens are so much fun now - I don't know if I'm going to be able to give them all up! The spider card is really beautiful so I'll have to save it for a special person. The tea towel is too nice to use to dry dishes so I'm going to use it as a cover cloth. The key chain mount I will use for myself and maybe even the coaster mount, though it would also make a nice gift for someone once I get the lace done for the inside. The eye cream will definitely come in handy as the age wrinkles start to set in. And thank you s much for the glass bobbin! It is beautiful and I'm almost scared to use it. Just before the parcel arrived I had been looking at some on eBay so I was very pleasantly surprised to find one in the package. Last month I forgot to thank you for those wonderful threads you sent. The variegated Oliver Twist is gorgeous! Well I'm hoping for some nice days this week to get some gardening done but there seems to be some rain in the forecast.

Dear Secret pal. I am so sorry if this is not a repeat thank you. My computer has been on the blink off and on all month. To top it off I have been demonstrating Bobbin lace and spinning every weekend since the 30th of April. I did love my package so very much. I shared the coffee at a guild meeting. The chocoltes went fast. My 3 kids were right there to see what you sent. I have the jewel candle holder and tea candle on my bedside table. I had to make the ladybug kit up immediately. Lady Olivia the puppet and the metal bell ladybug are hanging up and looking so cute. The ladybug bookmark is in my Bible. The beautiful Angle bobbin is on one of my demonstration pillows. What a truely wonderful package. I I love it all so much. I hope that Ive already sent a thank you but if not please forgive me. Thank You so much.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you for the lovely gifts that you have sent. The first thing I did was boil the jug and make myself a lovely cup of Yorkshire Tea, just what I needed at the end of a long working day. The travelling brush will be just the thing that I need to take with me when I go to Europe and UK in August/September, I will also be able to put my photos of the trip in the lovely photo albums. The lady bird pin is lovely and will be put onto my lace bag. Our daughter is staying with us tonight as she is on School Holidays so I expect to have to share the lovely chocolate but my hips will appreciate that. The last present was so special a beautiful old bobbin, I love it and love using them as my imagination runs wild thinking who may have used it before me.

To my secret pal, After spending 11 hours at the fairgrounds I found your package. I was trying to remember what I had bid for on eBay from UK when I opened it. I didn't remember bidding an any of those items, then I saw your note. Thanks so much for the surprise. I can use everything you sent. The thread is really nice. I tested the thread size against Brenda's book, and it's the same as Fresia 70/2. Now I know what size pattern to choose. I look forward to making a special something with it. The sewing kit is so useful, and so compact. I may travel to IOLi with me next month. The bobbins are most interesing. I really like different woods in my bobbins. They are now in line to get some real special spangles. And the bookmark covers will be enjoyed. I was out of that size and can really use them. Thank you for all the goodies. It cheered up a very long day! Alice in Oregon To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Secret Pal, I have been away for a couple of weeks and just got home Sunday night. I am not sure when the parcel arrived as my husband was away for a while as well. The pin box is beautiful!! What a wonderful gift! I often use boxes or containers for my pins and am always worrying about them spilling everywhere so this box is perfect. The pyrography is great. I loved the card - did you do the tatting? The divider pins will be very handy for a length of Cluny that I am currently working on. I have an old French roller pillow and I need to separate sets of bobbins. And I will be sharing the chocolates with just my husband this week as all our children are at camp or their grandparents. It would be a great holiday for me but I have to get my daughter's room painted this week. Thank you so much for the great gifts.
