<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Thanks for the info on the head scarves. I'm
going to try to get some together by Highland Games. As for becoming an
apprentice or protegee, it really varies more from peer to peer than it does
from one Kingdom to another. The best method is to find a peer who know
the things you want to learn, and with whom you personally feel
comfortable. Then ask that person - in person - the same question you put
out over the mailing list. See what answer you get and proceed from
there. Good luck.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>What a wonderful story! As for the blood, here's
a tip I got through the "mothers of small children" circuit.
Peroxide does work, but if you're not really careful it will also remove the dye
in the fabric. This sounds a little gross, but I use it with Diane's stuff
all the time & it works like a charm. Saliva has enzymes to
break down blood. Spit on it. When Diane was a toddler she stepped
on a piece of broken glass & bled all over my couch, & that's how I got
it out. Follow up with a spray cleaner, like 409, to remove other dirts
& residue. Blot with paper towels. You may have to do this
several times to get all of it. Good luck.</FONT></DIV>
