What new projects are you starting now?

I have begun Long Dog Designs' Mouline Rouge, which I am working in
shaded dark/cobalt blue Anchor pastelle on Golden Promises linen from
Silkweaver.

Get back to me in about 10 years and I'll let you know how I'm getting
on.

OOOhhhhh not allowed !!!!! lol!!! Seriously though , they used lead piping
and the waters in the bath that they let you look round is so contaminated
it probably contributed strongly to the madness of the Romans and later the
Georgians "taking the waters' There is actually a very old and very well
reported school of medicine built around the waters and the study of
rheumatology (? is this a word?)

I think we tried "drinking" the spa water and couldn't. I just remember
wanting to climb in the pools and soak my aching feet!

The only'bath' in Bath in which to bathe hasn't opened yet as it's

way over budget (should have opened last year) but in the Pump Rooms you
can
'take the waters' by the glassful - supposed to be beneficial but I
repeat
my warning - it tastes disgusting !!!!

I thought "taking the waters" was bathing in them, not drinking them!

Best unplanned part - spending 4 days
in Bath. On the Crescent - shades of Jane Austen ;^)

Sounds great!


It was a nice stop. If you're a Jane Austen fan. Did some great
shopping
there - less crowded than in London. And even went to the theatre -
funnily
enough, seeing a Tennesse Williams show - and then listening to all
these
snide comments by people who thought it was truly representative of
America
at that time. Really interesting to go to see the Pump Rooms, the
Roman
baths, etc. Very nice.

You'll have lots to do, and lots of fun.

That was another place I went - would have loved to take the waters
while
I
was there.

Oh the most beautiful place ( IMO) and the place which takes you back to
Jane Austen's era is the Assembly rooms - close your thougts to the other
tourists and you're a gay young thing at a ball waiting for your Dance Card
to be filled by the elligible gentlemen !!!
The costumes in the museum are so beautiful and it makes one truly envious
of such fine needlework.

It looks disgusting, as well! But it's pretty fascinating seeing how the
Romans set up the heating system under the floors. And envisioning the
real
scenes of the Jane Austen novels.

this when they turn 25. between now and july 13, I have two turning 50,
two graduating from highschool and 4 turning 25. and then i can take a
couple of years off.

Does the phrase "I can't decide" ring a bell? I am finishing up a Christmas
house kit, and then I have several more "waiting in the wings" but I don't
know yet which one I'll do. Maybe the birds or the cat.

Now that the holidays are nearly over and everyone should have a little
more
free time, what projects are everyone starting? I only have one Christmas
UFO
to finish, and one general UFO after that, so I can feel totally justified
in
having fun with some new projects. My thoughts are running to a Hardanger
cushion from a recent Mary Hickmott's New Stitches magazine (I can tell
Hardanger is going to become a major obsession for me), and/or a blackwork
cushion from a summer issue of the same magazine.

I didn't get any stitching-related gifts for either holiday (we celebrate
Christmas and Chanukah here, which means I've had no time to stitch too!),
but
fortunately before the holidays I treated myself to the two things I
wanted the
most, a DMC Sweetpea Flower Fairies kit and a DMC peonies ready-made bag
kit,
which I'm thinking of making for my mother's birthday in February, so
those are
possibilities too.
