Ugh.. I am so sick of embrodery floss! Lol. My fingers aren't small enough for these little things!!
A big shout out to Roxanne @ Baking In Miniature for the adorable sewing bag, books, and ribbon!
Adorable craft table is from Menutmon on Etsy / Menutmon.com
You can find a lot of thing in Kızlarağası. It is famous place in İzmir. And here a gift shop, a lot of things handmade. And one of it on the way.
Another model which was assembled as part of a display at a regional music festival in August 2022. This is a miniland scale build of the "Craft Headquarters," a wooden shed usually set up adjacent to an area of craft vendors. For decades it served as the distribution point for concert program guides, but a few years ago that changed and very few people got the memo.
i got most of the pictures from this fantastic book :: hare tokidoki hanko by keiko koma. i've had the tools and materials to carve stamps for years but it was just the other day that i pulled them out to create these adorable, customizeable and totally affordable stamps. i'm hooked!
A local antique/craft store has changed management. They now concentrate on repurposed items of a dubious esthetic.
A few days ago I received a copy of "Craft Inc." in the mail, sent to me from Meg Mateo Ilasco. She researched and wrote this book which is a guide for making people to turn their craft into a business. It's a great little book and I am flattered and proud to be included in it along with so many other fantastic and inspiring creators!
A break from my 'diary' now to show you the latest on the landing craft that will be part of the D-Day Museum here. Tim was off yesterday and we popped down to check Mum's house, riding partly along the seafront on the way home. Tim couldn't ride his bike this way, but waited while I came to have a look and take some photos.
Some info from the D-Day Museum website:
LCT 7074 is a 59-metre long ‘Landing Craft, Tank’ (LCT) that carried 10 tanks to Normandy for D-Day. The tanks belonged to 7th Armoured Division and went ashore in France on 7 June 1944.
LCT 7074 is owned by the National Museum of the Royal Navy, which has received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to display the ship next to The D-Day Story. The ship has been brought to Southsea seafront by sea from HM Naval Base Portsmouth and will open to the public in 2020. The Sherman and Churchill tanks, which used to be on show in front of the museum, will be displayed on board the LCT.
The lower shelves hold craft supplies. I found this CD shelving unit on the street. Love how well made it is and its thin profile for storing and displaying stuff.

My friend says both the spinning and the knitting are perfect to do in 'cooler' temperatures.
She starts spinning in Autumn, and often by the open fire.
Short draw spinning is used to create worsted yarns.
It is spun from combed roving, sliver or wool top.
The spinner keeps his/her hands very close to each other.
The fibres are held, fanned out, in one hand, and the other hand pulls a small number from the mass.
The twist is kept between the second hand and the wheel.
There is never any twist between the two hands.
Spinning the wool, hands again, my fascination ... since they are so expressive, almost as much as a face (?), a means of body language and non-verbal communication, we ‘say’ so much with our hands.
We touch, feel, handle, build and destroy, hurt and caress, kill and heal, make music (noise) and command or pray for silence, our hands can be rough or smooth.
The end product is very pleasing, I love the natural colours.
Sometimes the lady dyes the wool, also with natural dyes.
Characteristics of spun yarn vary according to the material used, fibre length and alignment, quantity of fibre used, and degree of twist.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments... M, (*_*)

I used my betel nut box from Thailand but any box would work. My box measures 8.5x9.5" , 8" high with the depth of the container part 2.25". I used several sizes of pharmacy bottles to create separate compartments. Now I can easily find the tool I want to use with the added benefit of being able to carry all the tools to different "clean" work spaces.
This amazing artwork is crafted on thick leather. The headpiece is of pewter or similar and there is a considerable amount of metal thread work.
It was hidden away in a B+B in Bergamo ... Antiques Roadshow material!
While I was packing the Dollies I took the chances of taking pictures I didn't take in the moment. Here you have a picture of the "daughters" of the Doll Manufacturer, Builder and Engineer!
The metal craft industry in Bangladesh, particularly those producing brass and bell-metal items, is now a "sunset industry" because of the declining demand for brassware over the years caused by the massive influx of products made of steel, crystal and ceramics.
The brassware of Bangladesh reveals the high workmanship of the artisans who have handed down their craft from one generation to the other. There are household articles and utensils made out of brass and bell-metal with different shapes and sizes. The principal items of brass are water pots, dishes, bowls, cymbals and other figurines.
Artisans also make figurines of elephants and horses from brass with intricate designs.
The best metal craftsmen in the country are the members of the kansari (brazier) caste who are known for their skills in producing artworks in brass and silver

The last surviving tank landing craft used at D-Day which avoided German shelling during the landings only to sink 66 years later in a dock on Merseyside arrived in Southsea today as part of her move to a museum.
Landfall, also known as LCT 7074, was restored at the Portsmouth Naval Base in a £4.7million project and will now go on to grace Southsea Common in Hampshire in front of the D-Day Story museum.
The 194ft (53m), 300-ton vessel was one of 800 such boats which carried tanks and military supplies on to the French beaches at Normandy as part of the Allied invasion force of June 6, 1944.

But a £5million rescue operation by the Royal Navy's museum then saw her raised four years later and restored at the Portsmouth Naval Base.
