The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 10th of August is "four in a row". Recently, a rather worn set of French dominoes came into my possession, and I have been looking for an excuse to photograph them. It is the middle of winter where I live, and most days have been grey with overcast, leaden skies, and yet the other day in the afternoon we had some glorious sun. I noticed the rays of light shining onto the floor of my sunroom through the French doors I have looking out onto the garden. I liked the dramatic shadows that were created, so I went and fetched my Grandfather’s hand made marquetry chessboard and put it in the sun with the intention of setting up four pawns in a row with their shadows. Then I remembered the dominoes, so I set them up instead. I did several configurations of them in a row, but this one with its dramatic shadows cast across the board won out! I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
This rather worn French dominoes set that has come into my possession has earned each and every chip, dint and scratch as it was made by hand in the late Eighteenth or very early Nineteenth Century. The black base layer is made of ebonised wood, whilst the top, white pieces, are ivory - now yellowed with age - with the circular grooves inked in black paint. The two layers are affixed together with a silver rivet in the centre of each piece.
The chessboard was made by my Grandfather, a skilful and creative man, in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 18th of September is “floral fantasy”. This requires a photo of flowers taken outside of their natural environment, artistically used in a bouquet, flower arrangement, still life, corsage or the like. It is also a requirement that it not be a macro shot, so that some context of its surroundings may be considered. Unfortunately, still being in a severe lockdown means that I am even having difficulty getting fresh flowers for my house, so I have delved into my archive this week’s theme, and chosen a photo from this time last year when I received a bouquet of beautiful flowers artfully arranged in a bowl as a birthday gift. I actually took this photo to remember the occasion and the gifts, but also to send to the friends who gave me the card and the flowers as a thank you. As my birthday this year will have taken place two days prior to the posting of this photo, I may have received another bunch of brightly coloured flowers to help celebrate my day! I will see. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
.... why he only got one fish from the first time he fished until this Monday ... :-D :-D
"Thank you very much for all your faves"

Two of my nice Spanish teacups. No two are exactly alike.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” this week is “one point perspective”, so I decided to set up my favourite chess set read to go into battle showing one point perspective using parallel lines that lead us towards the background. The two opposing armies of chess pieces have created the effect of the lines merging closer together towards the background as they lead towards the vanishing point.
These beautifully created chess pieces behind it were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. The chessboard the pieces are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.
The theme for this week’s “Smile on Saturday” is “spinning around” in which I needed to catch a spinning action or the impression of movement in a circle in my photo.
I know it may not be the most original of ideas, but I took out a newly minted one Australian dollar coin which was wonderfully bright, and I spun it on my maternal Grandfather’s chess board. Luckily, I seem to have the knack for spinning coins. I had quite a bit of fun spinning the coin over and over, trying to catch its spinning movement in the light pouring through the window. I came out with a few shots I was happy with, but this was the standout with the spinning coin becoming a golden orb or a ghostly golden ball. I will leave the interpretation to you, however I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it brings a smile to your face, as it did mine taking it!

I've taken on quite the task of making a banjo quilt for my son. He plays/teaches so I got ambitious. Still lots to do here. It took me forever to make the neck and the drum still needs more support with more stuffing. I placed it on the background to make sure it still fits in the borders! He doesn't know I'm making it and he'll be quite surprised when I give it to him at Christmas when I will be in Toronto!
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” is “motion blur” in which I needed to catch the impression of movement in my photo. I know it may not be the most original of ideas, but I took out a newly minted one Australian dollar coin which was wonderfully bright, and I spun it on my maternal Grandfather’s chess board. Luckily, I seem to have the knack for spinning coins. I had quite a bit of fun spinning the coin over and over, trying to catch its spinning movement in the light pouring through the window. I came out with a few shots I was happy with, three of which I have used in this collage. They all show the spinning coin becoming a golden orb or a ghostly golden ball. I will leave the interpretation to you, however I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it brings a smile to your face, as it did mine taking it!

The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 17th of September is "tabletop game components". Luckily, I come from a family where tabletop games were something we all played, so for me it was just a choice of what pieces to use. I decided to opt for pieces that mean something to me and are part of my heritage. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week and that it makes you smile!
All the chess pieces behind him were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights, both of which appear in this shot.
The draughts pieces, although not made by my Grandfather, were his and it was these pieces that he used to teach me how to play draughts. Remarkably, considering they are also from the 1930s, they have survived the years of use and are still brightly coloured.
The chessboard the tabletop game components are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, the draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.
Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven by hand on a loom. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike most woven textiles, where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous (unlike brocade); the artisan interlaces each coloured weft back and forth in its own small pattern area. It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colours worked over portions of the warp to form the design.
Tapestry is relatively fragile, and difficult to make, so most historical pieces are intended to hang vertically on a wall (or sometimes in tents), or sometimes horizontally over a piece of furniture such as a table or bed. Some periods made smaller pieces, often long and narrow and used as borders for other textiles. European tapestries are normally made to be seen only from one side, and often have a plain lining added on the back. However, other traditions, such as Chinese kesi and that of Pre-Columbian Peru, make tapestry to be seen from both sides. Most weavers use a natural warp thread, such as wool, linen or cotton. The weft threads are usually wool or cotton but may include silk, gold, silver, or other alternatives.
Tapestry Room from Croome Court, moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, hung with made to measure 18th-century Gobelins tapestries, also covering the chairs. 1763-71
Tapestry should be distinguished from the different technique of embroidery, although large pieces of embroidery with images are sometimes loosely called "tapestry", as with the famous Bayeux Tapestry, which is in fact embroidered. From the Middle Ages on European tapestries could be very large, with images containing dozens of figures. They were often made in sets, so that a whole room could be hung with them.
The Triumph of Fame, probably Brussels, 1500s
In late medieval Europe tapestry was the grandest and most expensive medium for figurative images in two dimensions, and despite the rapid rise in importance of painting it retained this position in the eyes of many Renaissance patrons until at least the end of the 16th century, if not beyond. The European tradition continued to develop and reflect wider changes in artistic styles until the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, before being revived on a smaller scale in the 19th century.
La tapisserie est un tissu fabriqué sur un métier à tisser ou bien à la main, dont le tissage représente des motifs ornementaux1. Le tissage se compose de deux ensembles de fils entrelacés, ceux à la verticale, les fils de chaîne, et ceux à l'horizontale, les fils de trame1. Les fils de chaîne sont mis en place sous tension sur un métier, et le fil de trame est transmis par un mouvement mécanique de va-et-vient sur tout ou partie de l'ouvrage. Souvent la tapisserie est une réalisation textile décorative d'ameublement, se classant dans les arts décoratifs. La tenture murale d'une pièce peut être constituée d'une seule ou d'un ensemble de tapisseries2.
L'art de la tapisserie existe depuis l'Antiquité, et beaucoup de peuples l'ont pratiqué : Grèce antique, Chine impériale, Égypte antique, civilisations précolombiennes. La tapisserie occidentale connaît un essor formidable pendant le xive siècle, illustré par la tenture de l'Apocalypse commandée par le duc Louis Ier d'Anjou.
Un grand nombre de tapisseries sont parvenues jusqu'à nous directement. Elles sont parfois grandioses (tenture de La Dame à la licorne conservée au musée de Cluny, tenture de David et Bethsabée4 conservée à Écouen, tenture Les Chasses de Maximilien conservée au musée du Louvre), souvent plus modestes. Certaines tentures sont disponibles en plusieurs séries (tenture de l'Histoire du Roy dont une série complète se trouve au château de Versailles).
This pawn and the pieces behind it were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights. Although blurred you can just see them tantilisingly behind my last man standing. I couldn’t not include my beloved favourite pieces in this photograph. The chessboard the pieces are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.
The theme for Smile on Saturday on the 25th of April is “Pawn”. How could I fail to not use these fabulous pieces of my family history, so lovingly made?
Detail shot of one corner... I love the dangly ball trim on the quilt... so wicked fun!
My DH thought it looked like a nightmare though...but he's no Elvis fan.
Although not the most valuable object that I own, this is one of my most precious pieces. This is my Great Grandmother’s small Anglo-Indian jewellery box, which she brought back from India after she and my Grandfather finished a period in the diplomatic corps during the Raj just before the Great War. It is precious to me because it holds some of the most tangible memories I have of my Great Grandmother and my Grandmother. This sat on my Great Grandmother’s dressing table and housed some of her everyday jewellery. I remember visiting her and watching her take out her pearls and cameos and glittering rings when she was getting ready to receive visitors or to go out. Even when I hold it now or hear the rich sounds of the box lid as it closes, in my mind I can still smell her violet and lily of the valley perfumes and her cold cream. When she died, my Grandmother inherited it and it sat on her dressing table. When I hold it, I can hear her laugh as I played with the pearl necklaces, earrings and rings that she kept in there, including the Regency ebony and ivory earrings I called “Flora” and “Fauna”. The yellowing of the ivory is a sign of its advanced age, and its edges have been worn by many hands touching them over the last century: not least of all mine.
The theme for Smile on Saturday for the 15th of May is “full of memories”. The challenge was to search for something that brings back a certain memory, take a picture of it and share what memories it brings back for you. I have inherited so many items from my Grandparent’s estates that hold great sentimental value for me. The hard part for me about this challenge, was choosing one object out of the many. As I have used my Grandfather’s chess set several times before for other challenges in this group, I settled upon this beloved little jewellery box, which is full of memories.
The jewellery box itself is an Anglo-Indian (Indian made but designed for the British market who lived in India during the Raj) made in the 1890s. It is fashioned from ebony and rosewood with the most exquisite hand-made geometric marquetry inlay of ivory and mother of pearl. The detail photos show how intricate the geometric pattern is, and how perfectly each piece is fitted. This might impress you even more when you think that the box itself is ten and a half centimetres long, by six and half centimetres wide and four and a half centimetres deep. The ebony frames to the hexagons on the lid are one millimetre thick, the vertical rosewood bands on the ivory edge of the lid are half a millimetre in width, the smallest triangles on the sides each have sides of one millimetre in length and the triangles around the flowers on the lid have sides less than half a millimetre in length: and all of this was made with precision by hand by a master artisan more than a century ago.

Yes, it's a bit early to be thinking of Christmas ornaments. Or is it? Here it is almost September already.
I made one for a swap on Swap-Bot, and an extra one (see my Flickr profile for more information).
The theme for this month was hearts (last month it was candy).
Recognized as a traditional Scandinavian Christmas decoration (but usually made with paper) this woven-heart basket is made of 100% wool felt.
This purple and green ornament is hand-embroidered using the blanket stitch around the edges. It has a bright green ribbon hanger.
And here he is, all complete and ready for take off! For more info about the Gillis Organization and/or about the show, visit the links below.
I still have to weave in the ends, but I couldn’t wait to take a final shot of this blanket. I made it as a gift, but I’m planning to make myself one someday, because I loved having it over me while I was knitting the last few stripes 😌
This poor little black pawn is lost and all he wants is to go home to his Mummy. The problem is that I think he might be on the wrong part of the board!
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “different” was chosen by Jette, jettebaltzer.
When I heard the theme, I had a few ideas that immediately sprung to mind. One I thought of were the black and white chess pieces. You can’t get much more different than that, now can you?

This is the focal part of this handmade necklace.
It is made with natural ocean jasper stones, a Swarovski crystal, and a gorgeous Bali sterling silver bead.
The necklace is finished with dark green charlotte beads and an adjustable sterling silver trigger clasp.
I've added lots of interesting details to make this piece a one-of-a-kind piece of art!

This week the theme, “homemade” was chosen by Laszlo, Laszlo Papinot.
Even though I used these fabulous homemade pieces of my family history, so lovingly made, for last week’s Snap Happy theme of “different”, how could I fail to not use them again for this “homemade” theme? I couldn’t not include my beloved favourite pieces in this photograph.

Handcrafted by Mr. Harry H. Taylor dec'd of Newport, Virginia. His craftsmanship was perfect, even when seen at the macro level.
SCOUT: "Paddy? Paddy! Paddy, what's that?"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "I thought if anybear knew what this was, you would Scout."
SCOUT: "Well I don't, Cousin Paddington. What is it?"
PADDY: "What are those things on the lid and crawling over the outside of it, Scout?"
SCOUT: "They look like bees, Paddy."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "And what do bees make, Scout?"
SCOUT: "They make honey of course!"
PADDY: "So this is a honey pot, Scout!"
SCOUT: "Is it filled with honey, Paddy?"
PADDY: "It's filled with honey, Scout."
SCOUT: "For us?"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "For us, Scout!"
SCOUT: "Grumbly tummy Paddy! Grumbly tummy Cousin Paddington!"
PADDY: "Hullo everyone! Today is World Bee Day. World Bee Day is celebrated on May 20th every year, which is the birthday of Anton Janša, the pioneer of beekeeping, in 1734. The purpose of the international day is to acknowledge the role of bees and other pollinators for the ecosystem. Everyone, please be kind to bees and give them the love and acknowledgement that they deserve!
Happy World Bee Day everyone!"
To celebrate World Bee Day 2020, Paddy, Scout and Cousin Paddington are eating honey from an antique honey pot. I'm not quite sure how old it is, but it has beautiful bright colours and a gentle crazing in the glaze, so I suspect it is from the 1920s. I could imagine it sitting on someone's breakfast table or on the shelf of a pantry in a Californian Bungalow. Made in Canada it proudly states on the bottom: 'fait à la main' (made by hand). I acquired it from an auction some years ago.
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Cousin Paddington is a recent visitor to our family. Travelling all the way from London, he was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, so it looks like he is stopping with us for a while. The more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.

This week the theme, “geometry” was chosen by GG, Greenstone Girl.
Geometry is the part of mathematics that studies the size, shapes, positions and dimensions of things. Squares, circles and triangles are some of the simplest shapes in flat geometry. Cubes, cylinders, cones and spheres are simple shapes in solid geometry.
Marquetry is the art and craft of applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns, designs or pictures.

My first try at embroidering a whole 'picture'. Prior to this I'd just done a flower here and there.
Obviously not so great. I was experimenting with various stitches and techniques. My favorite bit is the hair.
Poor girl needs a nose job though.
My partner and I are born one day (and several years) apart, so it was our birthdays last Tuesday (his) and Wednesday (mine).
For his birthday, I baked a small French Lemon cake. The cake recipe is a very old one, given to my Great-Grandmother by her cook before she left service and retired in the 1960s. The recipes were probably written down by her when she entered service in the 1920s, and she probably learned them from the cook whom she was apprenticed to. My Great-Grandmother\'s cook gave my Great-Grandmother, who had never cooked a meal in her life, a hand written cookbook of her “never fail recipes”. Whilst my Great-Grandmother employed another cook and never cooked a meal throughout the remainder of her very long life, she did cherish the cookbook, which was passed to my Grandmother, who rarely cooked herself. She in turn passed the cookbook to me, and I do enjoy cooking many of the delightful recipes from it. These include the French Lemon cake.
A friend of ours is a paper artist and she makes her own cards out of recycled paper. It’s amazing what she uses: wrapping paper, junk mail catalogues, unwanted birthday and Christmas cards, tissue boxes, gift bags. She gave us each a beautiful homemade card each. This card is mine: given to me by her to sing me a happy birthday since she is not in good voice at present, with a rather nasty head cold.

My grandmother and mother were amazing at crochet. I have several doilies that Grandma made and I cherish every one.
Tunbridge Ware is a form of decoratively inlaid woodwork, typically in the form of boxes, that is characteristic of Tonbridge and the spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. The decoration typically consists of a mosaic of many very small pieces of different coloured woods that form a pictorial vignette or geometric patterns. Shaped rods and slivers of wood were first carefully glued together, then cut into many thin slices of identical pictorial veneer with a fine saw. Elaborately striped and feathered bandings for framing were pre-formed in a similar fashion. There is a collection of Tunbridge Ware in the Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery in Tunbridge Wells.

This Tunbridge Ware hexagonal jewellery box with its geometric shape and geometric patterns seemed to fit the challenge quite nicely.
