<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>How are you all doing out there in the real world?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>This is a year we won't forget isn't it, odd, interesting, baffling, infuriating, scary and many, many more such feelings - and many will only surface later maybe.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Little has altered for me, still working from home and enjoying it and in no rush to go back in to the office again.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>We can potter around more freely and drive further afield to potter too. But even so, part of me is concerned that an invisible virus is floating about that may infect me which is annoying. The fact that its most likely going to reach me by the lack of common sense in others is most annoying of all lol</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I am certainly not worrying myself silly about it however, there is nothing other than basic common sense that I can use to try and help prevent infection. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>But I'm sure it will have coloured the outlook of many of us and our future plans, as to whether we enter the community in the same way we had before.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I am still thinking that through!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>And then the appalling death of yet another US black person.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Humanity doesn't learn from history does it and you know, for me, that is the most sad and infuriating thing of all right now.</b></span><br />

<div>
<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Common sense would have meant I stuck to a size that could be framed in a standard size frame and mount right?</span></b></div>

<b>Do take a look, it is open worldwide after all.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I bought a 500 piece jigsaw last november for the princely sum of £2 in a charity shop, a striking picture of Gaudis moasaics in front of grey/white/black shadowy buildings.</b><br />
<b>I meant to start at Christmas but didn't.</b><br />
<b>It's quite years since I did an adult jigsaw, and by that I mean a country scene not something sexually explicit! </b><br />
<b>Disney ones oh yes, lots with my kids and the grandchildren too.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So yesterday I took a break from hexi stitching, yes I am still hexified ... and started the Gaudi.</b><br />
<b>Well what fun it's been, relatively easy with the mosaics as so bright and colourful but now I'm on the harder upper building sections so this may take a while!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But once the charity shops are open again, I may well buy up all the jigsaws at those cheap </b><br />
<b>prices! </b><br />
<b>Have you seen how much they are to buy new?!</b><br />
<b>And now of course, everywhere is sold out to buy online LOL</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I did earlier today win a 2 x 500 box of Yorkshire seaside scenes on Ebay.</b><br />
<b>(Will sanitise the box once it arrives!)</b><br />
<b>I had no idea there was such a roaring trade in used jigsaws on Ebay!</b><br />
<b>Dozens for sale currently and of course NOW, the prices are jumping up and up, will be interesting to see how they sell when we are back into a less stressful state mind you.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Right back to the jigsaw and to see if this post too, has white stripes round the text - you see, </b><br />
<b>I try to keep you and myself too, guessing!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cyber hugs folks </b><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Women throughout history have generally been considered
to be frivolous, emotional creatures whose purpose was to adorn a man’s arm, with
or without a wedding band. Who were prone to ‘hysteria’ and were strictly
limited in what was considered to be their social station in society. They were
restricted by cultural and social expectations, by family ties and men’s need
to be the controlling factor in his individual and socially male dominated life.
In all levels of society women were inferior beings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Women brought up in this manner for generations, passed
this repression on to their own daughters, as if they had no prospect of being
anything important in their own right and should not aspire to anything more. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was as if they weren’t entitled to anything more and
that home making, keeping and mothering were menial tasks anyway. Their life
was primarily to minister to man’s sexual whims, run his household and/or
provide him with children but thankfully most of us now have the opportunity to
select which of those things we want to do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Medicine provided us with a freedom of choice and with
means of contraception so we no longer have to rely on men themselves taking
the initiative and using a sheath, or the withdrawal method alone. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The ‘Keep your hand on your halfpenny’ advice for young
women, to avoid their too early deflowering and the social shame of pregnancy,
might no longer be so often used in earnest or jest. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mostly we make no secret that we take precautions, so we
avoid bringing children into the world for the wrong reasons, yet some may feel
unable to admit to using these forms of contraception, so for them, it is truly
‘hidden’. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Some are unable to use them even if they would want to,
think poverty and the need to buy food rather than contraception. Think
religious doctrine that prevents its use and the emotional guilt burdened on
those who consider or use it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are ‘hidden pocket’ wombs worldwide that hold
untold secrets, some that make hearts ache whilst others hold or held joyful
blessed gifts and memories. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m here, still alive and .... writing a blog post!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m pretty certain I will be nattering away to myself, that you have been busy elsewhere too and probably hadn’t noticed I wasn’t here lol</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But that’s fine, I hope your all well, happy, healthy and enjoying life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have no excuses, really, for not blogging, other than I lost the urge to?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">But oddly, the urge seems to have returned so here I am, giving it another go.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course because himself jiggered off with a younger model, wanted a divorce and then went and died still aged only 40 - its always a hard day for me.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My kids of course never even think about it lol thankfully I suppose.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I never ventured back into the mating/hurting game and now I guess its just as well, looking around me at the half made this, that or the others : )</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I'm off work today having tripped and clattered splat, on a patio yesterday, reajusting my nose and upper lip abit and jolting my neck and shoulders, so am not at my best today.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I had a lovely Easter break, hope you all did too.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I went with my daughter, SIL and 2 kids and her in-laws to Cabo Roig in Spain where Tylah and Rich have an apartment. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>The in-laws rented an apartment alongside and had their other son and daughter staying with them too.</b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">So it was real family holiday.</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>It was lovely weather 21-24 degrees, really welcome after a long grey and soggy winter here.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>I enjoyed spending time with the grandchildren and when they went to the beach in the afternoons, I was able to sit and stitch in peace either at the apartment or in the Irish bar round the corner lol </b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">Not for me the sandy toes on the walk back to the apartment no,</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">rather the</span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;"> cocktails or beer, with an audio book and stitching for me and an occasional chat with other customers : )</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;"><b>I took some with me to Spain and managed 4 blue diamonds whilst there. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;"><b>Evie took it upon herself to be the 'puller out of snipped basting stitches' and 'remover of papers' - since she said, she has smaller fingers LOL</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I have stitched them staggered rather than alongside each other and I haven't noticed any stitched like this on Pinterest - so I'm guessing there must be a reason why others have not used this design ...!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>It's actually an interesting book, explaining a manner of making a quilt from the centre out, allowing the quilt to form itself rather than set out with a precise pattern in mind.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>It is an old book but choc full of advice and interesting information and how to's, so a very useful book to have. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I have always said how resistant I am to strictly following patterns and this almost gives you permission to explore 'add ons' and spontaneously including corners and strips here and there.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>It doesn't encourage sloppy stitching though, just creative exploration so an interesting book to read through.</b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">Okay had best top up the pain relief, I thought I was healing nicely but actually I was just fully dosed up on pain relief I realise now!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">My daughter was in the shower when she heard the splat sound and when she came downstairs, I was giving my grandson his lunch with a very red and swollen nose and lips - but he didn't seem to be scarred by the event at all! Phew lol</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">Well there was little point making a fuss when an 18 month old needed his lunch after all. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">But as she came in and after explaining, I set off to the A&E, where I sat amongst some of lifes extremes of humanity - less said about that really!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">Fortunately the Max facial Dr said I didn't need stitches although theres a really good sized split inside my upper lip and no, the nose wasn't broken, so it could have been far worse. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">But the sort of whiplash my neck got is blummin painful still so codeine and paracetomol here I come : ) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">I will try and post again before May! Take care all : )</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">Here's a run down on what I've been making at work recently, there was much more but mostly duplicates of what I've shown on here before, but these are new.</span></b></div>

<div>
<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">I bought a copy for myself since the illustrations were originally made with textiles and stitching and i have a small collection of books where textiles have featured.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">My 4 year old granddaughter loves it as much as I do which is fun.</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I made a tactile book for work too</span></b> </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>and here's a look see -</b></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">Tania Neasby is a talented textile artist who makes delightful pictures with textiles, often nursery rhyme like scenes, do look her up and this story is really charming. </span></b></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whilst admiring this unicorn below, a lady stood alongside told me her daughters believed for years that they were real creatures. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> very young children they'd had holiday staying on a farm that had newly born foals there.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: verdana;">The foals had whorls of hair on their forehead and the farmer told the children, that was where the horn would grow and they would become magical unicorns lol</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: verdana;">I loved that! </span><br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">It is supposed to be the graveyard scene where Harry Potter came up against Voldemort and this is far as I've got.</span></b></div>
<div>

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hmm ... did I show you that cushion before, cant remember?</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">I've made a few crochet cushion fronts too, they need to be finished off into cushions come to think of it!</span></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">Right I must crack on and stitch a bit. I've been making some blue and white fabric hexi flowers but of course I haven't got enough blessed blue with white fabric - oh bother - I may have to buy more fabric sigh.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I wondered what the effect would be if I put a hexi of wadding in and behind the centre hexies and then when the top is complete, simply back it with a layer of fabric, so its a lightweight cover and only quilt around the inside centre hexi of each flower - does that make sense to you?</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">Let me read it back lol</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">I wonder if it will work?</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">Watch this space and see lol</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">It does mean that you make the flower, remove the central hexi paper and tuck in a hexi of wadding, basting it in position so the overlap of fabric at the back of the hexi, snugly holds the wadding in place.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">My idea is that the final quilting inside the centre hexi of each flower will hold the backing to the front.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">I'm sure its been done before and maybe it doesn't work because I cant recall seeing it anywhere LOL</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">Siemen's have built a factory here in Hull where they make these blades and they went to enormous lengths to transport this from there in to the city centre. </span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had a go at the jelly roll race method of making a quilt top, used a Moda Scrap Bag I'd picked up a while back.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">It's true, you can make a jelly roll race top within an hour!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">This is about 45" x 60" ish and the top went together in around 40 minutes, probably less because I made 2 mugs of tea in that time too.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">Next day I simply quilted straight lines and put it all together.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">I also put together some of the smaller scrappy log cabin blocks I've been hand stitching now and then.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">But stitched them between some cat squares, with no real plan as yet. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">I might just make lots of scrappy blocks and then jigsaw them in some kind of pleasing arrangement.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">The larger ones aren't stitched together, but I've made quite a few of those and am hand quilting them one by one, again to use up the scraps. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;"><br /><br />MANOR POINT DEVELOPMENT WILL HELP PRESERVE RARE MOSAIC <br />The concave mosaic of Three Ships on the front of British Home Stores, home of the co-op building in Hull, is a well-known city centre landmark. However, there is an equally important artwork on the interior of the building which was recently rediscovered by the developers of the of the five storey property. <br />Manor Property Group is currently developing plans to refurbish the former co-op store and recently unveiled the interior mosaic on the top floor in the former Skyline Restaurant and ballroom. It is 6.85m (22.5 feet) long and made of ceramic tiles, marble and stone that depict ceramic fish swimming freely in a tile background of bubbling water. The whole piece is set between massive columns of kelp-like fronds in stone. <br />The significance of both the exterior and interior mosaics only came to light when Manor was contacted by Christopher Marsden, a researcher writing a paper for the Journal of the Tile and Architectural Society. <br />Robert Lane a director of Manor Property Group says the interior mosaic has survived very well and only requires a clean to bring it back to its original state. He commented: “We were delighted to hear from Christopher and to know we have a piece of history on the front of our building, and even more excited to rediscover the fish mural on the fourth floor of the building. <br />“This work has been covered up and forgotten for many years, but it has survived very well and we have plans to clean and refurbish it and incorporate it into the exciting plans for the redevelopment of the building now known as Manor Point, Hull. <br />“The exterior Three Ships requires some repair work as there are many scaffold holes in the face of the mural and we will be addressing this work as part of the buildings refurbishment with specialist contractors.” <br />Both mosaics were created by Alan Boyson who was commissioned to design Three Ships in Hull by Co-op project architect Philip Andrew in 1963. He created the iconic exterior ‘fishing town’ image, which was executed in glass tile mosaic as it was too big for traditional ceramic work. <br />Christopher Marsden explained: “The Hull mosaic symbolises the city’s fishing industry and captures the important role it played in the city’s heritage. I hope this research will re-awaken interest in the mosaic which has been on the front of the store for over 40 years. It looks as good today as it did when it was first created. It remains a testament and a reminder to residents and visitors to Hull of the importance and associated dangers the fishing industry brought to the city.” <br />The whole piece is 66 feet high x 64 feet wide. The face of the mural includes 4,224 foot-square slabs (each made up of 225 tiny glass cubes); altogether there are 1,061,775 pieces. The mosaic work was carried out by Richards Tiles Ltd from (now part of Johnsons Tiles Ltd) and affixed by A. Andrews & Sons (Marble & Tiles) Ltd of Leeds who is still trading today. <br />Boyson was commissioned to produce the second mural for a prominent position under what was regarded at the time as ‘an innovative and daringly thin concrete handkerchief shell roof’ on the </span></b><b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: verdana;">fourth floor of the building. The work was re discovered when Mr Marsden visited Hull to research the work and made contact with the owners of the building</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another month has gone by and we await the arrival of my third grandchild, currently a week overdue and clearly a football player to be, since he is kicking merry hell out of Tylahs' tummy!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana";">Before I go on, below is a post I put on my Facebook page, its an abbreviated story about my dear pal Jen and a Private Bassett who lost his life at the Battle of the Somme.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "verdana";">Maybe you too will think it touching .. the pins in question can be obtained from the Royal British Legion.</span></b><br />
<br />
Must tell you folks because I suspect you will all understand : )<br />
My pal Jen bought a poppy broach.<br />
A firm is selling a metal poppy made from WW1 shell cases which they have then painted with red enamel paint which is mixed with a portion of soil actually from the Somme. <br />
You got the broach and it has a commemorative card with it, with the name and number of a soldier that died at the Somme,<br />
You didn't get to choose who it was, it was a name from the very long list of fatali<span class="text_exposed_show">ties.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Jen got Private Bassett of the Devonshire Regt. She researched him and found he died aged 32, wasn't married and neither of his surviving sisters married, so there was no surviving family left to think about him.<br />
This year she and hubby Steve went to see the huge crater left after the biggest bomb in WW1 and to be at the Somme on the very day, 100 years ago that it all happened. She was going to take wooden crosses to place somewhere in remembrance of her own ancestors and also one for this Private Bassett.<br />
On the way there the guide on the coach ( a Birmingham firm organised the tours and most of the guides are ex police ) said he would take them, off the cuff, to a trench graveyard, where men had died and were simply buried in the trench they held onto - to the end.<br />
What were the chances - It was the Devonshire Regt !<br />
And the second gravestone in was Private Bassett ...................<br />
Isn't that simply wonderful?<br />
All his details checked out and she was able to actually place her wooden cross on his own grave.<br />
What are the chances of that happening spontaneously like that and how lovely that someone who has no one left to remember him, was personally commemorated by someone all these years later.<br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">Well, okay its 2 huge bags of scrap fabrics, a big container of beads and notions I once thought would be fine all jumbled together - big mistake really that. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">And another big bag of used fabric offcuts, denim etc. </span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">Just found out today that my angiogram (with an angioplasty if its found to be required on the day) - is to be the 10th November.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">Nothing special, just scrappy bits - though the cats look too scary, they'd do better for Halloween! Might dish them out if I get trick or treat'ers at the weekend LOL</span></b><br />
