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...

Stilettos are very useful at times, aren’t they!
I was, by the way, about to send a message saying “did you speak at all on the video”, then I discovered that my laptop had decided to use the speaker’s on my husband’s laptop – which is in the next room with the sound turned down!
Honestly, there are eleven people on the ISS right now, and we still can’t stop an ordinary domestic laptop from inappropriately exercising initiative.
*fumes*
I know, First World Problems, but still – grrr!
I’m normally an expert at fucking up with computers, but even I’ve never managed that one!
gold star to you
Thank you! *curtsies*
