This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.
Please do not use my images or pin them without permission.
My interests range from ancient greek to tudor periods, and I tend to be an artisan rather than an academic - not that I don't do research, I just prefer getting my hands dirty.
I dye, spin, weave, sew and embroider, and have been doing so for several decades...

His tiny size and fierce look remind me of the nano dragon in ‘How to train your dragon’… books, not films. I think he’s lovely!
Ziggurastica was the name, I think.

I like him. Don’t you dare call him small or he’ll trample on you.

is that like cat trampling where they look all small and delicate but they can pput ten times their own weight on a single paw that just so happens to be directly on your bladder at six am?

Yup, that’s the technique.

branston’s good at that, but I used to have a white cat named Persephone mowse who was like some sort of jedi master in the technique

Probs – it’s very hard if you’re very small

I think he might have a bit of a napoleon complex

sometimes very very small progress represents a very very big thing….it’s a matter of perspective.

I think it’s just the excitement of being very nearly finished. plus it’s always nice to complete something in a single evening, most things take me a week or more

I think he’s just a very long way away – plenty of space for a good run up before he jumps on you!

now there’s a scary thought

*grins wickedly*

And if he is jumping from a great height …

oooh, truffles used to jump from the top of the wardrobe onto the bed in the middle of the night, bad cat
