A trip to Beamish

My daughter came for a visit and we took advantage of the good weather and visited Beamish - the living museum of the North.

There is lots to see - these were some of the goodies in the shops

This is a nursery in one of the houses

This is near the entrance to the mine

TAST 8 and Vintage Threads

Take a Stitch Tuesday - this week we are doing chain stitch. It is a simple stitch so this time I have kept the page for my fabric journal fairly simple. There is a piece of vintage fabric, some painted paper, dyed lace and a needle felted flower. This page was attached to another page with blanket stitch.

Below are some vintage threads that I bought at an Embroiderers Guild meeting, I love the cards that the thread is wrapped around.
