preparation

This weekend I have been preparing for our Victorian day at school next Friday.

I think I might have a Victorian ailment from cutting up all these tee-shirts, the fibres are playing havoc with my lungs!
I picked up the prodders this morning from a member of the West Riding Ruggers. Made from dolly pegs and painted bright colours.
I will be cutting tee-shirts all week as we have 30 children attempting to make a small rug next Friday. We will also be dressed in Victorian clothes, I know my place and will be dressed as a maid-a rather posh maid I might add!
Now I need to show you this weeks photos for the 365 Project.

 I will tell you more about this fantastic bridge in a post, later in the week.
Today was wet and cold and grey. I popped out for the prodders and watered the plants in the greenhouse but most of the day was spent cosy in front of the fire where Lucy found a lap to sleep on.

Have a good week!

    I bet the children will have great fun making a rug - I know I would! A lovely week of photos. I have never seen Nipits!!! The bridge photo is wonderful but the water looks unforgiving! I wouldn't like to fall in there! Lucy knows where she is best off doesn't she?! x

    Hi Lyn! I love your photos and well done for managing to keep up with it despite such a busy life. The bridge phot is really lovely. Also, can't wait to see results of the kids' proggy mat making! xx

    Try wearing a thin scarf cowboy style over your nose and mouth - I did this when I was weaving cotton braids for my City and Guilds. Just remember to remove it if the doorbell rings! That cat sure knows how to make itself comfy!

    Lovely 365 photos again Lyn. I began a little proggy rag making on Thursday, although it's more of a little pad for the seat of a small kitchen stool, so it's not so hard on my legs if I want to put my feet up! I don't envy all that cutting but think Marigold jam's idea is a good one!

    Great photos! You need one of those little white dust masks whilst you are cutting. I'd love to have a go at making a rag rug. I was out photographing a bridge or two on Saturday one for the Scavenger Hunt the other for a blog post. Good old Lucy - my two are curled up just the same:)

    A great bridge ... is that for the Scavenger Hunt? I've hardly started this month. I'd better get a move on!
    Hope you have a lovely Victorian Day ... I'm sure you'll make a lovely posh maid! I'll have to learn how to make these rag rugs!

    What a beautiful bridge, I could feel the atmosphere and smell the air just looking at the picture.
