onwards
there will be flowers.
I don’t often do flowers.
obviously they will be quite cartoonish yorkshireish roses

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...

She is waiting beneath her bower, for the handsome knight of her dreams.
yes, but she has to patient because at his age his armour needs oiling before he goes anywhere
Bless her, she’s had enough of the world for now, hasn’t she!
don’t worry, shes bolted the door in case any of ehr kids try to sneak home from university with a bag of festering laundry
Good for her!
Ah yes, the age of linament and WD40.
