OT Can we have a roll call.
This group is getting less and less postings lately. Just checking on
google it say that there are 938 people subscribed. We must have a lot of lurkers. Can we have some to de-lurk and can the regulars sign in. I am of course Shirley with several aka's One Madame Tassel, Queen of the Swaps, Founder of Shirley's Spoon Club. I have many hobbies as some of you will know which includes bead work. At the moment I am working on the family history. Since both our sons were born in Malta whilst DH in the Royal Navy. There is no record of their birth in UK. So I thought anyone trying to do the FH in the distant future could come unstuck. So I thought I had better set to work on it while I can. Since our back garden is still in the throes of a makeover to make it easier to maintain, I took the pictures down on my web site. I have replaced them with pictures of the wild robin I tamed to feed from my hand. Alas though it is with us no more. Keep hoping another will come bobbing along for me to try my luck with. So come on lots hear from you and build the ratings back up on this group. Hugs Shirley -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.org.uk |

OT Can we have a roll call.
Hello All,
My name is Kathie Nightingale. I live with my DH and my two sweet little dachshunds in Victor, New York, which is on the southeast side of Rochester. This is a wonderful area to live if you are in the craft business. There are festivals and craft shows every weekend around here from May to September. I have lurked in this group for years and always read posts but never seem to answer much. I work full time at a medical supply company as the bookkeeper, but my passion is jewelry making. Mostly, I create my pieces with jump rings, semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals. Lately I have been dabbling in chainmaille, with taking classes and trying to expand my horizons a little. I started my own website a few months ago, and I plan on hitting the craft show circuit this year here in the Western NY area, specifically in Rochester. I have learned a lot from all of you, and I hope to contribute more in the future.

Welcome Kathy. I like your elegant designs. Good luck with your craft shows. I am a Jack Russell fan, but we borrow one now from our son.

Jerri from Ga. here! Lampworker, wire worker, seed beader, chain
mailler......I'm addicted to it all. Also known for dressing up Bella the guinea pig, as well as the dog, Spike and Caesar. I'm still volunteering with the rescue, fostering and helping with adoptions, and at the moment have a darling beagle/mix (thank goodness he's got enough mix to lose all the obnoxious beagle behaviour!) The new guy is Arlo, and you can see him he http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/Arlo2bsm.jpg And it's freezing cold in Ga. today!!! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com |

How interesting that there is no record of your sons' birth, Shirley! I was
born in England (My did was Air Force.) but I still got a birth certificate! Thank goodness, knowing my parents, if I hadn't had one, I'm sure they would have told me I was hatched! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Shirley Shone" wrote in message ...

There are records but not in UK. They have Maltese birth certificates written by hand in lovely copperplate writing. I had the foresight to get a copy of each before we left Malta. They have one and I have one. There is no record of them in the public record office in London. They could have had duel nationality but are solely British born of British parents in a British commonwealth country, as Malta was then.

Hi Shirley -
I stop by often to read the posts and to check to see that you're okay (really! I worry about you!) but as I'm not doing anything but selling beads at the moment, I don't like to just post ads and then run. I have very limited time to do any online posting as I was elected mayor of our little town (very, very little - 850 or so population) last November, my husband is on the road six weeks at a time training new truck drivers for the company he works for, which leaves me with all the household stuff to do myself, and I'm still selling beads on eBay. Add in several indoor cats and a group of strays outside and our large veggie garden and several flower gardens that need work year round, I'm pretty short on time! I thought of you on Monday when London virtually shut down for the day because of snow. I was trying to figure out why the Underground was mostly shut down when the trains run underground. I almost emailed you to ask about it. I hope you enjoyed seeing the snow and weren't inconvenienced by it. It seems such a rarity in England these days. I remember your robin very well - I hope a new one will soon make your garden its home!

Hi Shirley.....
Hope you are not totally snowed in. We have a couple of feet of the stuff over here. Odd that the Navy didn't see to registering the boys in England, but I suppose it wasn't needed if Malta was a member of the British Commonwealth. I shall tuck that tidbit away in case I ever run across something like that. Our ancestors were mainly British and Scottish, with a touch of Spanish for good measure.
