I am sorry!!! I didn't re-read my posting before I hit the send button!
Chiara and I were of course, looking at my antique bobbin collection I
have managed to trace many of our family names on antique bobbins, but

Hi.
I've just recently visited the website where the Christmas card exchanges
have been posted. They are beautiful and I am so sorry that I didn't
organize my time well enough to participate in this one, I did enjoy it the
previous year and have given myself a stern lecture to pull myself up

I have been following the thread on fireworks with interest. Perhaps some

Ouch. Doing it from a photo is even harder than doing it from a piece

Consider yourself lucky that the fireworks are only on for half an hour once
a week in Summer.
Here in Malta, we have fireworks every weekend between Easter and late
October for each of the village feasts. There are one or more each week. The
fireworks start from Friday evening, Saturday and Sunda
Hi Adele !
What I know about reconstruction probably won't help you much. But I
took a class from Michael Giusiana last summer, and we were given HUGE
files of extremely high-definition scans of old lace. When it was
printed out, the 1" X 12" piece of lace was 54 inches long!!!

We don't have a lot of fireworks around here this time of year but my
neighbours said it with pots and pans and their voices. Oh, and the odd

by different countries, and last year when one started with a giant

Jean, Easter eggs were spotted in the big supermarkets here in Sydney over

So glad to hear that Valentine's cards have been spotted already - Easter
eggs should be a bit later this year (end of January?) because it's not

I quite agree with Jean in Poole - I am glad it is all over too. Our dogs
suffer with fireworks, and at the risk of seeming a spoilsport, why do they
have to start at 10.30 and finish at 1.00 - not all the same person, I

Finally it's all over. Got woken at midnight (stopped staying up to see the
change of year long ago) by the usual fireworks. Threw a blanket over my
dog's head so he couldn't see the flashes and had to leave him to shake for
half an hour while the barrage went on. This morning, while out for his
