Fibre life in Orkney. Christmas at Shearer’s 2014. Follow Northern Lace on WordPress.com. The Robe of Glory. That is a very distinctive title! It isn’t something likely to have been made up. There is a book called The Hymn of the Robe of Glory,. A highly mystical and allegorical story from ancient Gnostic writings. But the one I am referring to concerns knitting in the Northern Isles! There are, however, connections. There is the same mystery, and some of the same symbolism. I have been asking Orcadians ...

http://nobodylikesawhiner.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Nobody Likes a Whiner. Friday, August 29, 2008. This is May 30th, when we planted the garden. Look at those tiny plants. And this is today! It's been so much fun watching everything grow and produce fruit. Of all the plants I put in the ground only one died. I will definitely do one next year. Next time, no peppers (what was I thinking? I don't buy them in the grocery store.why would I plant so many plants? Links to this post. Monday, August 25, 2008. Super Yummy Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread. Mix together ...

Creative Academia: October 2014
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 October 2014. Once again I’m joining in with the very lovely Gillian. Although it may be too warm for a hat. Although I’ve dredged the boots out of the wardrobe, I’ve actually been coatless today. Outside. In Leeds. At the end of October. The weather is unseasonably warm. We ate like Kings for the next 3 days as the ABO and I tucked into; Lancashire hotpot, Steak and Mushroom Pudding (thanks to an IG cry out Sue. This time it was a hotpot with beef and veggies in the pot. I’ve been brows...

Creative Academia: September 2014
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 September 2014. More happies on a Friday. Thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my last post. I’m so pleased to be a part of the ‘precious things’ collaboration that Sarah. It’s been a busy week. I’ve been struggling to fight off a cold which seems to have burnt itself out without too much paracetamol or sniffing. So, BigR’s first full week at school was tiring for me as well as her! Even the combs have age restrictions on them! We love to see the kitchen garden and there was a vast f...

Creative Academia: June 2015
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Ten things : June. Here we are at the end of the month. I'm counting down to our (hopeful) holiday, the end of the school year and the end of the medication for LittleR. Hopefully normal life and nursery can resume soon. I need to be more positive I think. The British Summer is here. I think it actually might be too hot. Well, we're experiencing 2 days of 28-30C in Leeds then, I expect it'll rain and normal service will be resumed. I'll look forward to that then! To make sure we ma...

Creative Academia: November 2014
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 November 2014. Once upon a time I went through a period of illness. It was a very long time ago. Even now though, moments of that experience stay with me and very occasionally I think back to that time and how it partly moulded me into the person I am now. I chose most of mine for their colours and the way they felt in my hand rather than for their meaning. Every now and again I seek out my stones, for me they are a precious thing. You can see others’ precious things here:. I am trying to be...

An angel blog on earth . An angel blog on earth. The mad ramblings of a fallen angel . (also known as the mad ramblings of a middle aged woman). Somewhere to vent, so I don't pee off too many people!

moss stitch: November 2013
http://moss-stitch.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 November 2013. Shop till you Pop. I shall be a part of Popstop a new space in Walthamstow village opened by Little Mashers. There are different designer makers each week in the run up to Christmas. E11 Made is a new venture I'm doing with my friend Gail combining our makes. We have tried desperately to get our own pop shop but to no avail. It seems landlords would rather have empty shops than short lets. We keep trying though! Please do pop along, it'll be lovely to see you. Shop till you Pop.

Tuesday, 22 October 2013. Its a been a while. I have no real excuse why but here goes. This year has not been the best and maybe I'm now just trying to sit the rest of it out and hope next year will be better. It just might be. I've lost my way a little with blogging and don't feel I have anything relevant to say. It's just dawned on me that maybe I never did! Not me) Life was taken over with gas leaks, lack of. Hot water and heat. It was miserable. Ollie Cat went missing for 2 days and came home not qui...

moss stitch: April 2013
http://moss-stitch.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 April 2013. This was the week that. The handle broke off the grinder. No proper coffee all week. Wail. Broken part sourced, bought and replaced - thank goodness for the internet. All is good again. I cleared and moved stuff around and into my little studio in the garage. The car is full of stuff to go to school, charity and friends. Old table legs were painted and now waiting for a top to go on. A new batch of beer is being brewed, it bubbled and gurgled away while I was in the garage. There a...
