Sewing with Lumikettu: Rainbow Dash's himation fabric arrived!

http://lumikettusewing.blogspot.com/2014/06/rainbow-dashs-himation-fabric-arrived.html

Lauantai 28. kesäkuuta 2014. Rainbow Dash's himation fabric arrived! And of course I had to make a test try. Mostly I'm happy with the fabric. Only things that bother me are a) the red is not very bright, but rather dull brick red and b) I ordered too little. So when my pay comes next month, I need to order a few more yards to actually get it trailing. Tilaa: Lähetä kommentteja (Atom). Other places to find me. Lumikettu's Adventures in Kimono.

Exciting writing from the eighteenth century and now. Friday, 21 February 2014. Samuel Johnson and Mental Health. Yet he would never have considered himself mentally ill, nor were such concepts explained to him would he have even accepted the notion of mental illness. This is the portrait of a person who is an.

I lodge in Grub Street: Top Ten Eighteenth Century Works (Part One)

http://grubstreetlodger.blogspot.com/2015/04/top-ten-eighteenth-century-works-part.html

Exciting writing from the eighteenth century and now. Wednesday, 1 April 2015. Top Ten Eighteenth Century Works (Part One). In January I made a list of my top fifteen favourite books of the previous year. I had wondered why the list had been fifteen and not the usual ten, then I tried it. It was hard. I’ve decided to split this up, 5 today and five tomorrow. So with no more ado…. Pompey the Little by Francis Coventry. The novel doesn’t get boring. Pompey moves from owner to owner with such rapi...8220;&#...

I lodge in Grub Street: Under the Glass.... Two - Might as well be cucumbers.

http://grubstreetlodger.blogspot.com/2015/03/under-glass-two-might-as-well-be.html

Exciting writing from the eighteenth century and now. Tuesday, 10 March 2015. Under the Glass. Two - Might as well be cucumbers. One of the best things about quotes is how, once out of the body of the work they originate from, they are open to as much abuse as you want to give them. Today I am going to bash three quotes together to make a little conversation. The old peripatetic principle that n. Samuel Johnson, Rambler 85. Better to think about cucumbers even, then not to think at all. About eighteenth ...

I lodge in Grub Street: Top Ten Eighteenth Century Works (Part Two)

http://grubstreetlodger.blogspot.com/2015/04/top-ten-eighteenth-century-works-part_11.html

Exciting writing from the eighteenth century and now. Saturday, 11 April 2015. Top Ten Eighteenth Century Works (Part Two). And here it is, after the clamouring, shouting and pleading; the second part of the Top Ten Eighteenth Century Works. Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart. The only person to have two entries on the list but I don’t think it’s cheating, the Christopher Smart who wrote Jubilate Agno is not the same as the one who wrote The Midwife. I would recommend that anybody try this book out.

I lodge in Grub Street: June 2014

http://grubstreetlodger.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Exciting writing from the eighteenth century and now. Wednesday, 18 June 2014. Review: The Governess or Little Female Academy by Sarah Fielding. It's not rock 'n' roll but I like it. The cover sleeve and introductions make large claims for this book, written by Sarah Fielding in 1749. It calls it the first school novel, the first educational book and the first children's novel in English. I am not convinced it is a novel, there isn't enough plot or general happening for that. This book is very safe. ...

I lodge in Grub Street: November 2014

Exciting writing from the eighteenth century and now. Thursday, 27 November 2014. Monday the 1st of December, all invited. On Monday, December the 1st I shall be performing a bit of Death of a Dreamonger. In the Brixton Bookjam. It describes itself as ‘congenial, intelligent, unpredictable and eclectic.’ I’m hoping to provide the congenial and eclectic. If anyone wants to come and have a look, the Brixton Bookjam starts at 7:30 at the Hootenanny pub on Effra road on December the 1st. The second is to see...

I lodge in Grub Street: May 2014

http://grubstreetlodger.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Exciting writing from the eighteenth century and now. Monday, 19 May 2014. Review: Pompey the Little. I recently read ‘Down and Out in 18th Century London’ by Tim Hitchcock and although I was sometimes lurched about by the anecdotal style, I enjoyed it and was pointed to a number of other interesting works. One of these was ‘Pompey the Little’ by Francis Coventry. How could I resist a book centring on a Bologna lapdog? The meeting of writers is torn apart by argument and Mr Rhymer walks home ‘in a ...
