The locomotive on static display is 1083, an X10 class crane locomotive used in workshops and depots until well after regular steam locos were withdrawn.
Former Brighton District #9 one-room schoolhouse, built in 1906. It closed as a school in 1939 and was left vacant for 10 years. Its first homeowners found the desks still nailed to the floor and the potbellied stove in the rear of the building. The bell tower remains a charming reminder of this building’s original use.

Klean Kanteen is another great company. Check them out for a variety of reusable aluminum water bottles.
Still don't have the handles on it yet, but man, it came out nice! The bottom has a faux gusset so carrying bulky things is easier. The top has pleats, making the opening a bit smaller than the bottom of the bag, so things don't fall out!
It's pretty simple really, The ReUse Project is about finding multiple uses for things and throwing nothing away that doesn't have to be. ReUsing is kind of like Recycling, only we arent geting rid of things, we are finding new uses for them.
Here are a few examples of how you might ReUse...
Example 1:
I was walking down the street the other day when i found ________ in the trash. I decided to take ________ home and turned it into _________.
Example 2:
I had _______ sitting in my closet for the last million years and I finally did something with it.
Example 3:
I got _________ for my birthday this year, and i really didnt like it, so i cut it up and turned it into _______.
There are many ways to ReUse.

My MIL gave me her Serger and I have accumulated a bunch of flannel. I have sensitive skin so I am going to try just using water with these in case Lyric has sensitive skin as well.

I created and then laminated these bookmarks so we could highlight award winning books and those on the NYT bestseller list. Since they are removable, they come in pretty handy!

Love this picture of an old pink 2CV car reused as a big flowerpot!
St Mary, Great Addington, Northamptonshire
From Woodford, I cycled over one last ridge and then down to Great Addington, where the church was open, with a "Church Open" sign outside. Set at a road junction, the east and west ends of the church towards two of the roads and the south face presenting a very pleasing prospect to the third. a Dec church with the Norman font of its predecessor, and Arts & Crafts furnishings, all very lovely. The 1490s alabaster effigy of Sir Henry Vere who died on the battlefield at Bosworth is unceremoniously tucked behind the organ in the north chancel chapel, probably its original location, although there is an earlier tomb recess in the south aisle where Arthur Mee found the effigy in the 1930s (or says he did). There are also a couple of brasses, but all in all I thought this church was greater than the sum of its parts, a very pleasant place.
Across the lakes formed by the Nene here, busy with canoeists and walkers, into the rather suburban village of Ringstead (you know, the kind of village that has an Indian takeaway and a ladies hairdresser) and the church of St Mary, which was also open, with a "Church Open, Welcome!" sign outside. Quite unlike any other church I visited today, because it was full of light shafting through big, clear Perpendicular windows, no coloured glass at all. The interior uncluttered, good woodwork, what my late friend Tom Muckley used to call 'seemly and fitting for Anglican worship'. The side altar has a tabernacle, suggesting that there was once an Anglo-catholic tradition here, and it is still used to reserve the sacrament, the altar dressed pleasingly with candlesticks and flowers. A very likeable church.
Ringstead quickly became Denford, a posh suburb of Thrapston, and here was the church of Holy Trinity. Locked, no keyholder notice as such, although both churchwardens were listed. I rang both numbers, but both were out. This was my one great disappointment of the day, because the church has a good collection of Flemish roundels donated in the 1960s, and I would very much like to have seen them. A big church with a proper Nene Valley spire, and why not, for the river runs behind it.
Thrapston was en fête for the annual charter fair. It was three o'clock, and I had a twenty mile bike ride ahead of me back to Huntingdon. The wind had dropped, but it still helped me climb back into Cambridgeshire and then slightly down hill all the way to Huntingdon, where I caught the 1650 to Peterborough and then the 1750 back to Ipswich. Total distance cycled? About seventy miles.
Forty Northamptonshire churches! I don't think I ever thought that would happen. Northamptonshire now stands seventh behind Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Greater London and Kent for the number of churches I've visited.

An unsatisfactory sort of day finshing off items for the Westhope Exhibition. I wrote an artist statement ( which I hate doing - how do you explain "just messing about"!), put the final touches to a couple of books and added these sketch book heads to my stitched paper hanging.
This will be displayed in the grounds and will eventually disintegrate, so I don't want to obsess about it.
These are stitched sketches on a variety of media - paper, cloth and a crisp packet.
Just a bit of fun really.
