Taking a break from learning tambour beading (which is SO hard) with a new kit from @londonembschool.bsky.social. This is my first time sewing French loops.
One can only knot for so long before one's finger and thumb are wrecked! It's fun doing this in little installments.

Exciting new delivery! The knotwork kit from @londonembschool.bsky.social using my voucher for being learner of the month! Plus an extra treat, the very cute, tiny teacup needle minder. No more shoving needles in the settee arm and losing them inside...

Are there any mathematicians on here up for helping me to create a model equation to approximate an haematological problem? Just for fun!

Nine years since I made my husband's Regency tailcoat. By hand! I had septic fingers from so many needle sticks. 😂 Then I got really really ill with pernicious anaemia and haven't made any Regency clothes since. :( But he'll be wearing this again for a Jane Austen Festival event this month.

Wild garden is looking quite wild on this first day of June. As well as the magnolia and hazel saplings coming along nicely, there is a vast quantity of plantain - gives seeds over winter for birds - and wild strawberry - giving fruits to small mammals through the summer. #rewilding

Listening to Laura Bates' new book. Would love to hear a response from @newyorker.com's Daniel Immerwahr and @wjscheirer.bsky.social on Ch1 where she highlights how they ignore the impacts of deep fakes on women when they say they've had no effects of consequence. #EverydaySexism

This year one of our buddleja bushes is infested with aphids. Apparently this is something unusual being picked up by the RHS. www.rhs.org.uk/biodiversity...

I've finished my first of three tambour kits from
@londonembschool.bsky.social. It's been interesting learning. I enjoyed the swirls and they were quick work, but the rows of stitches were boring, like cross stitch, and I'm not satisfied with my turns at the end of the lines. Beading next I think.

Finally! A decade ago we heard Mr Tawny shooting, year after year. Then one day Mrs Tawny rocked up. I've not heard Mr this year but I've been wishing to capture a Tawny on Merlin since I got the app and finally there was enough of a break in the traffic when I was outside the house and I got her!

Box tree owners - it's time!
Picked 5 or more bastard box tree moth caterpillar babies off the hedge today.
New to this? You're looking for mottled and skeleton leaves. Leaves stuck together. Silk. And poos. The bigger the poos, the bigger the problem!
