A plea for pronouns in signatures: Sometimes you're just not familiar with a name
and you don't know the masculine/feminine hints for that language
and you google the name and each of the three names in the signature is a Chinese surname!
Gender neutral pronouns it is.

Fun fact: The curtain was made with a swatch that came with our new curtains. So the fisherman has the same curtains as us!

Here they are, signing autographs for people who weren't even alive when they originally raced!

We're at the Athletics in London and engaging in the annual tradition of watching medals be award years after the fact because of cheating. Today was the men's 4x100 from 1997!!!!!!

It's 2 days before I leave for a re-enactment weekend. The perfect time to start a new project!
Crazy, but if I can pull this off it means I'll be braving the 30 degree heat in linen instead of wool!

My 17th century stays are nearly done! I have learnt so much making this, and I'm pretty happy with how it's come out!

A plastic spool, wrapped in colourful yarn, with a tail hanging off the end

I love this cat toy I bodged together! My cat loves playing with my wool or thread when I'm working, so I crocheted her own spool of yarn! It's just a chain stitch, wrapped around the bobbin with some slip stitches to keep it from unravelling, and a tail left loose to chase!

I'm working on a pair of 17th Century stays. Last night I finished sewing the boning channels, next step is to fill them! I can't imagine doing all of this without a machine

Apologies for getting in touch with you this way, but I can't dm you!
I really like your Reenactment/LH feed, but it only seems to go back a day or two. Is this just how feeds work? Or would you be able to make it go longer? I'd love to be able to browse it more!

Alice Lowe's Photo This is my favourite thing that I've knitted! A cowl I knitted in the round over December, with a new motif for each day. I learnt so much making this and it's gorgeous!

I've entered my favourite project, my advent cowl, into a competition to win some crafting supplies from The Works!
Please give me a vote! (Or hey, enter yourself! If you post a link to your entry I'll vote for you!)

If you see this post a sword

Throwback to last year, when Nona helped me blunt my sword so it was safe to hand to civilian children!

While technically true, seeing Shakespeare's Henry V in the "Inspired by true stories" category on BBC iplayer feels a bit off!

So is the "trap" part that they didn't arrive in time? And so got a tariff charge slapped on them at customs?

Sign the Petition Overturn the UK's New Legal Definition of a Woman

I never wanted to post about politics here. I wanted a place where I could just engage with things that make me happy. But things are dire here in the UK, and if a few more people are aware and sign the petition I'll consider it worth it.
Love you all ❤️

Free projects might sell it for me! The Make and Takes were my favourite part of the show! (I'm a bit obsessed with the bee I needle felted)

Those look great! I went for the 1st time this weekend and loved it! I was wondering if you got VIP tickets? I'm trying to work out if that's worth springing for next time?

Creative Craft Show March 2025 On Sunday I went to the Creative craft Show at Birmingham NEC for the first time! I went by myself an had a totally selfish day of doing exactly what I wanted, when I wanted. I was marvellous! I started off with the first of the two workshops I had pre-booked, Japanese book binding with Nicki from Daisy's 60 minute crafts…

This is still probably the best cityscape background I’ve done. Oh how I hate straight lined things
