Garage Sale

Upcoming weekend there will be a Garage Sale in the little village I grew up and my daughters desperately want to participate, so they can earn some money. They made a lot of bracelets, necklaces and ear rings to sell.




And I crocheted Ice Cone Key Chains, more Market Bags and more Dream Catchers for them.

    What sweet jewellery your daughters made! I'm sure they sold very well. I think it's so good to allow kids to make and sell things - it really teaches them about money and commerce. Thank you so much for being a part of Hearth and Soul, Liz. Hope to 'see' you again this week!

  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo...

The Sugar Skull is Finished!

Image
A couple of weeks ago I showed you a half finished Sugar Skull that I embroidered. After some weeks of stitching, stitching and stitching again it’s now finally finished! Here’s the result. I found this great black frame to go with the skull. It matches perfectly! I know, pride is one of the seven sins, but secretly I’m a little proud of my Sugar Skull .  For the pattern, see this book: Twisted Stitches by Phil Davison http://betweennapsontheporch.net
