First published during the mid-Victorian era, it is today a charming window on the past, offering glimpses of basic crafts and industries of the period. In addition to detailing the work of tailors, shoemakers, bakers, plumbers, and housepainters, the text devotes full chapters to the work of bricklayers, cabinet- and gun-makers, sugar refiners, coppersmiths, calico printers, millers, and twenty-one other tradespeople. With facts and hints for modern craftworkers and fascinating background for anyone interested in bygone ways of life, this rare primer will be treasured not only by cultural historians and hobbyists, but will also delight collectors and Americana enthusiasts.

The trading system is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to trade principally emeralds for items (and vice-versa) with villagers, as well as wandering traders. Pressing use on an adult villager with a profession, or on a wandering trader, opens a menu, allowing a player to trade with the villager or wandering trader. This action pauses any pathfinding the entity was doing. If the entity takes damage while trading, the trading menu closes. All transactions involve emeralds. Villagers buy or

Its all about the end of the month in this post. November brings the Knitting and stitching show in Harrogate and I went for a visit on Thursday, with a friend. The first person we saw was the one I wanted to see the most, the delightful and extremely talented Michala Gyetvai, who I've know from blogging and flickr almost from the start of my internet life! I was dying to see her recent work, inspired by landscape and trees and influenced by a recent trip to India. Some of her pieces are huge and intensely stitched. If you want to see more of her work visit her website and blog. http://www.michalagyetvai.co.uk/ It was a pleasure to meet her. I also met up with Julie, Wendy and their friend Tina. We arranged to meet and I was having my lunch when I saw Wendy I swallowed a big piece of my sandwich so I could say hello, and proceeded to choke. Fortunately Wendy was a dab hand..or should I say a dab fist, at thumping on the back, which she did and saved my life. Honest! I was choking. SO embarrassing. We had a laugh about it...but I was quite shaken. I met a few other textiley friends including Kim Thittichai, Sue Dove, Angie Hughes, Clare Bullock, and Wyn Ingham. I'd had enough of the whole stall thing by 3.30 though. I'm getting a bit jaded. I went out into the fresh air and did a bit of shopping. Talking of fresh air...at the weekend I did craft fair in The Palm House, Sefton Park, Liverpool. Its an amazing huge Victorian Glass house. When I arrived I had no idea whether my stand would be in the Palm House or in the Marquee next door. It turned out I was in the Palm house and I was mighty glad because it was cold and windy on Saturday. Its a stupendous venue and in theory a good place for a craft fair. I had a perfect spot and met some truly great makers. But sadly, not enough buyers of my work. The weather had put a lot of people off I think, and perhaps my work was not right for this event. Such a contrast to Woolfest and Yarndale where I almost ran out of brooches. By Sunday the winds had got up and after about an hour the people with stands in the marquee had to leave. There were huge gusts and the whole place resounded with noise of the wind against the glass. Trees were being blown over in the park, so the organisers made the difficult but very sensible decision to close. Rather a pity as I'd sold as much in the first two hours on Sunday as I'd sold all day Saturday. I'm having a rethink about Craft Fairs. Even the beautiful ones. Now I'm going back in time to earlier in the month and in the last post I showed you the birds, Well, I made lots more (for the craft fair) and had a little play with them for photographing. And today I put all the ones I didn't sell at the weekend (which was nearly all of them!) into my etsy shop. Here they are peeping and ready to fly. And indeed many of them have flown today in my own online craft fair. If you'd like to join in I'm giving 20% discount with the coupon code VALENTINE. Now...if you don't know how to enter a coupon code here's a picture that might help. Do you see where it says 'apply shop coupon code' ? Click that and you get this. Put the code in the box and click apply. Just so you know! There are other things in the shop besides birds. Selling fast. I'm having a big rest from sewing now and going to tidy up so there may not be any more.

Due to an increase in costs of vintage items i have had to put the price up, however as these are all made to order they are unique little pieces of fabric art. Also please note extended processing time as many customers are buying a few sets at a time and thus these orders take more time to process. These clusters have a neutral colour with a hint of a second colour, choose the secondary colour from the drop down, the photos are an idea of what you will get, but as they are now made to order, you may not get exactly what is pictured. I might be able to make another set of the colourway you would like if you don't see a colour option you like, please feel free to message me. Handmade embellished fabric clusters for your junk journals or as a part of a slow stitch project, they are made using a combination of vintage and upcycled fabrics, lace and buttons. You get a pack of 3 coordinating clusters which have been hand stitched and embellished bits of vintage lace and buttons and further decorated with beads. They measure approximately 2.5" by 3" (7 x 8.5 cm) Message me if there are specific colourways you would like and i am happy to make these for you. These clusters would make a lovely decoration in your journal. Leave them to hang over your page like a tab giving your journal lots of texture and interest. or as a finishing touch to a slow stitch project. These little pieces of embroidered and embellished fabrics would even be lovely in a small box frame as a piece of textile art.
