May 2007 and we had two out of 541 of Bill Birketts named tops to climb to complete the lot. Every named top over a 1000ft in the Lakes national park is on the list. We decided to tackle them after finishing the Wainwrights for the first time. The problem was that our last one was Pillar rock. Some suggest it’s a rock climb others a dangerous scramble, a lot depends on the conditions.
We drove up to Ennerdale early on Saturday and headed for Lingmell ( the one in Ennerdale) our next to last Birkett. From here we moved onto the ridge to Steeple, a path we hadn’t used before but we should have, a really interesting way to a great top. On to Scoat Fell, Black Crag and then Pillar – the parent of Pillar Rock. I had told Jayne that we were just checking it out with a view to employing a guide to lead us up it. As ever with these things you need to be 100 % sure of the route, which is easier said than done. After a sandwich we made our way down. As luck would have it two climbers were on their way down and we were able to watch and get advice. Conditions were perfect so I dropped my bag and made my way up the difficult part to check it out. We using the Slab and Notch route, the climb isn’t hard but the consequence of a slip are fatal. As with Broad Stand on Sca Fell, it’s the exposure and the consequence of a simple slip that causes the problem.
I climbed back down and was very confident that I could take Jayne safely up – and back! Her face was a picture as she reached the top. We sat and savoured it for quite a while – the Birketts completed. There are places where people abseil down bur we were going down the way we came. We made our way down below the western face of Pillar Rock, there were a couple of climbers, red specks, going up the hard way. A twelve mile walk with a bit of scrambling thrown in. Mission accomplished.
On Sunday we did a 15 miler around the Eastern Fells then on Monday we went to Glenridding to tackle Helvellyn – on a bank holiday weekend! We went over Birkhouse Moor, down to Red Tarn, up to Catstycam, Swirral Edge to Helvellyn. We made our way North over the Dodds, ticked a few tops off again and back to Keppel Cove and Greenside. A 12.5 mile day. The photos from this weekend aren’t that good, I used the Ricoh GRD and got plenty of blown highlights to show for it, more of a record of a great walking weekend.

I made this bag for myself with all the things I like best - great fabrics, lots of pockets, enough space, soft to touch and some embellishments...
Blogged here.
Witchery. It has 3 compartments - 2 outer pockets and a middle zippy thing. It's a bit slouchy too. niiiiceee.
bag made out of suit pants and a belt. the belt acts both as the handle and as the closure for the top of the bag, which can open very wide.
made from the Pink Chalk Studio Mail Bag pattern in vintage upholstery and Amy Butler fabrics - I love this pattern! The only modification I made was adding a magnetic snap, as I am notorious for spilling the entire contents of my bags on street corners.
Our flat door doesn’t have a number on it (though it has a brass bell puller, which I don’t think has worked for a very, very long time) so I decided to engage in a bit of geekery and make us a number. (It’s darker green than it looks!) I also may or may not have made myself a pair of earrings which look like this on a smaller scale…
We found this old Dr's bag at an antique store up north. We have seen them before,but they have ususlly been raided and are empty. We were pleasantly suprised when we opened this one and found it fully intact, right down to the crazy mirrored forehead strap on to look at you real good!
Elsewhere in another life, she may have grown up to be a beauty enough to grace the catwalk, yet her beauty never diminishes even in her present condition.
I always wanted to do a photo essay on the subject of street kids in kota kinabalu at its ironic that i only managed to get about it now when i was there for a day when i had five years previously to do so. These kids comprise of both locals and foreigners particularly those from the Philippines and Indonesia whose parents arrive here through both legal and illegal means. Most of then are without citizenships and thus are not entitled to education, health and social benefits that we enjoy, in other words they live in limbo from day to day. Yet if you meet them they are just like any other children with the innocence and joviality that only children can possess. Most follow their parents who are traders here or act individually to serve as bag carriers to the myriad people shopping for groceries at the Kota Kinabalu Market, exchanging services for a few cents of coins which will likely be used to supplement their parent's meager earnings to ensure that they survive the day with food and shelter if any are to be had. These photos tell their stories and we may have to look at ourselves and question who is entitled to be citizens and who are the foreigners, particularly in Sabah.
Shaundell Horton, 'Tree of Life', 2021
It's installed size is 140 x 140 x 50 cm and is priced at USD 850,-.
The materials used are tea bag covered rebar, nylon cord, batik cloth strips, wooden beads and jute yarn doilies.
Shaundell Horton kiest ervoor om in haar installatie de ‘Tree of Life’ uit te beelden. Het is een welbekend symbool dat een diepe en vaak overeenkomstige betekenis heeft voor verschillende culturen en religiën de hele wereld rond. Met de wortels die tot diep in de aarde verankerd zijn, en de weelderige takken die zich naar de hemel toe uitstrekken, staat de boom voor velen en ook voor Shaundell, symbool voor de verbinding tussen hemel en aarde. “Ik vond dat passend omdat wij daar allemaal deel van zijn en die verbinding ook in onszelf te maken is”, aldus Shaundell. De boom die zij met touwen en reepjes stof uitbeeldt binnen een grote open cirkel, hangt vanaf het plafond. Met behulp van een goed gerichte lichtbron werpt het een prachtige schaduw op de achterliggende witte muur. De kleine gehaakte ronde doekjes, oftewel ‘doilies’, die in meerdere van haar kunstwerken een nostalgische verwijzing zijn naar haar Guyanese afkomst, lijken op die muur te hangen aan de takken van haar ‘schaduwboom’. Symbolisch geeft dat weer een verbinding aan tussen het tastbare en het ontastbare, tussen het aardse en het spirituele.
Shaundell Horton creates an installation in which she chooses to depict the ‘Tree of Life’. It is a well-known symbol that is of deep and largely similar significance in various cultures and religions throughout the world. With its roots that reach deep into the earth, and its branches that spread up towards the sky, many people and Shaundell as well, see the tree as a symbol for the connection between heaven and earth. “I found it quite fitting, because we are all part thereof, and because we can also create that connection within ourselves”, states Shaundell. The tree that she creates with ropes and strips of cloth within a large open circle, hangs from the ceiling. With the help of a carefully directed light source, the artwork casts a beautiful shadow on the wall behind it. On that wall, the small crocheted doilies, which are a nostalgic reference to her Guyanese heritage in many of her artworks, appear to be hanging from the branches of her ‘shadow tree’. Symbolically, this again indicates a connection between the tangible and the intangible, between earthly and the spiritual.

The grommets are fun, but the bag is a canvas for the knitter. Instead of grommets, you could add sequins, snaps or buttons. Once you have felted it, you can decide how you want to paint your canvas with the endless list of possible emblishments.
This bag would be a great first felting project. The bag is designed in a simple shape so that the knitter would not need to felt the bag to an exact size. If your bag felts too much or too little you may just need to use different D-rings to attach the strap.
Embellish your bag with grommets or whatever suits your fancy! Pattern available as a download (.pdf) for $3.

I used some fusible craft interfacing on this one. I don't like the stiffness for a run-about bag, but it will be perfect for holding roving when I spin.

update 2010- This never happened obviously. After coming to an agreement with Lovelife, I bought the selvage denim and brought it to their studio... where it stayed for several months before I finally gave up on them.
I have a design for a new bag that I'd like to try sometime, but not enough time to do it on my own.
