Hubby chopped my head off (part time wood chopper!) I was quite pleased with the hooded cloak though.
We had a lovely weekend, last weekend.
We went here. The Tolson Museum in Huddersfield. It's a lovely little museum but we went mainly so I could see the rag rug exhibition.
There was some great pieces by the West Yorkshire Ruggers.
Then we went for a walk up castle hill but it was really really cold! can you see the snow on the hills behind? It was an icy cold wind. My nan use to say it was a 'lazy wind, went right through you instead of round you'

We don't usually read the Times but I bought a copy on Saturday and found lots of interesting things in it. There was an article about Ysolda Teague and her successful knitting website. There was an obituary about children's book illustrator Susan Einzig. and a very good article about the animals that have won the Dickin Medal over the years. You can read the article here but the line that made me laugh was-
'Cats-lacking perhaps a sense of public spirit or social solidarity-do not feature strongly in Dickin annals' but there is one. Simon 
read his story by clicking on his name above.
What a dashing cape...
ReplyDeleteThe displays at the museum are wonderful especially the rag rugs by the West Yorkshire Ruggers.
I have ancestors from that part of the world... Kingston upon Hull, Holy Trinity if it even still exists.
The blooms at the top are so very beautiful.
Enjoy the weekend.

Great outfit. The rag rug exhibition is wonderful isn't it. I loved the recycled rag rugs made from carrier bags, quite fancy having a go myself.

ReplyDeleteLovely post Lyn. Your shoes are great and the stripy socks/stockings/tights? are too!!! You did a great job with the cape. How are you getting along with the rag rug? I would love to see it when its finished. I started one many years ago but never completed it as I was bored with the stiff denim I was using. I am going to check out the links you have provided now. x
