I recently finished weaving a blanket wrap, it's gone to Pennsylvania now, but here's a few photos of it before I posted it, along with Daisy and Hazel who are two of my little flock of Shetland sheep. #handwoven #weaving

Yesterday we worked at the Shrewsbury museum with the medieval reenactment group we are part of, The Corbet Household. Here's a couple of photos of one of the medieval games tables. Elfin and Mila are playing swords and shields, and Adam and Tom are playing farkle. #medievalhistory #livinghistory
