This is little Sam from next door,(he’s very old, but only half the size of our two lumps) we feed him when his monkeys are away. Sam adores gareth (he’s politely indifferent to me) and would move in with us if we let him. However this will not be allowed because much though we love sam back he’s FIV positive and we don’t want our two infected. Sam is A bit of a flat cap kind of chap, small and sensible, he was a stray until the neighbours took him in.
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...

Ah, he’s brought you a lovely present! I hope you appreciate it.
well, someone had to have a mousie, and our two have recently proved incompetant in that regard – trubble because everyone is his fwend, branston because the mouse was in the kitchen, and branston doesn’t do kitchens
As long as he’s polite – cats have so many other options available to them!
sam is normally polite (until he smacks you)
