From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith. "The accompanying photograph represents a second-hand clothes shop in a narrow thoroughfare of St. Giles, appropriately called Lumber Court, where. several similar tradesmen are grouped together, all dealing in old clothes and furniture of a most varied and dilapidated description. It is here that the poorest inhabitants of a district, renowned for its poverty, both buy and sell their clothes."

I am very pleased that it goes back to my project on the Catacomben Saints from Switzerland. This time it went into the Rheinau monastery and we visited 4 catacombs saint. I was fascinated especially the St. Deodatus and the St.. Theodora. Both are sitting on chairs to see and on the side altars. Here the St. Theodora the martyr on one chair under a small canopy. In the right hand she holds a a palm branch (prize of victory). In his left hand the sword (Arma Christi). The Authentika (Certificate of Authenticity), was exhibited in Rome on August 9th in the year 1682nd And it comes from the Cyriacae Catacombs of Rome. She was transferred on 22 October 1690 from Rome to the Monastery Rheinau Switzerland. It's always be very exciting for me to delve into the stories of these martyrs, and to see them in the open shrine.
Starting with vintage photography and illustrations of models sporting fashions from the 1950s, Amsterdam-based artist Hinke Schreuders applies a rich layer of hand-stitched embroidery, beading, lace, and flourishes of ink to entirely new images that can be both unsettling and exuberant. The pieces seen here are part of an ongoing series called Works on Paper, started in 2008. With her work Schreuders says she seeks to “subtly confuse notions of feminine vulnerability and reinforce the position of embroidery as an artistic medium,” something I think we can all agree she has done masterfully.

This great activity on Cold War leaders has your students creating Pop Up figures in their notebooks to better understand important figures of the Cold War era. The resource includes an engaging PowerPoint presentation (& Google Slides version), 2 graphic organizer options, lesson plan, and the pop-up figure cut-outs. Included are pop up cut-outs of: Joseph Stalin Winston Churchill Mao Zedong Harry Truman Fidel Castro Indira Gandhi Margaret Thatcher Mikhail Gorbachev Ronald Reagan Additionally, there are 4 "bonus" pop-up figures for: Dwight D. Eisenhower, Nikita Khrushchev, John F. Kennedy, & Lyndon Johnson. There are 2 graphic organizer options, both featuring a world map to help students connect each leader with where they were from.

One of the first things you see when you enter the Freedom Center is Aminah Robinson's amazing "quilts" -- what she calls "RagGonNons" because they "rag on and on." They both tell a story of her family's journeys beginning -- in the upper left corner -- in Africa. The medium: cloth (including socks), thread, buttons, beads, ties, paper, paint, graphite, shells, and music boxes. The work was a public art commission, and it's stunning.
One of the things I love this week was getting a photo of a wren. I've often caught sight of them down by the pond because I think they like the heavy shrubbery on three sides. There is a meadow there as well and loads of grasshoppers which I know wrens are fond of. However, it was right in front of my kitchen window that I managed to grab two quick shots of this little guy while he was checking out the decaying plants. In the third shot I took he was a complete blur. This was my redworked wren from that Crabapple Hill Designs series, Flight of Fancy. Perhaps I've shown you all of them now. We don't have the banks of sumac here like those that lined the farm driveway, but there are a couple of bushes. Amazing reds this time of year. Before I forget, the header photo is one I took a number of years ago. Hudson's Farm puts pumpkins on a cart in this field every year and you are on your honour to pay for one. You can see the cash box there on the left by the big pumpkin on the end. Remember I started a Medallion quilt back in August. I have been working on it a little. I set up the next round which are Spools and have 7 of them sewn. Every little bit moves it forward I figure. I may have more time to devote to it as my Dreamy Hearts quilt is a finish! It was my October OMG at Elm Street Quilts. I'm happy with it and it is now tucked away to be a Christmas gift. It is very soft and warm and single bed sized. Recently there was a great little blog hop hosted by Carol at Just Let Me Quilt. Sewists shared their patterns for quick little quilty gifts you can make. Two of our Thursday Likes group shared their work at these posts, Pieceful Thoughts and Life in the Scrapatch. And I love this too. Lena generously shares her free pattern for this lovely Moon Flower block at her Lena Pugacheva Art Quilts site. Lena also hosts the Friday link party, Creations, Quilts, Art. Just love this too- both the hands and the message. The photo is by Newfoundland photographer, Ned Pratt, and is used by Nonia, a non profit organization that has been selling hand made goods by Newfoundland and Labrador women for over 50 years. These are the hands of one of those women. I know by working with wool and fabric I am doing what my mother, both grandmothers and the one great grandmother I knew as a child did. That great grandmother had snow white hair, sewed quilts by hand but it was her gold tooth that fascinated me. I'm thinking this morning about how the fate of humans all over the globe may well be in the hands of scientists and researchers. They are working tirelessly to achieve the perfect concoction of a vaccine for us, one that will be safe in and of itself and also protect us from this awful virus, a monumental task. I am very thankful for them, their knowledge, unceasing labour and care. Here is a link to a Q & A with one such American researcher talking about how their quest is going.

This listing is for 1 Digital Download, PDF Knitting Pattern ONLY for Brianna's Capelet (ENGLISH ONLY). If you are wanting to purchase the finished garment that I knit, click here: https://etsy.me/2DTBXhC ************************************** I designed this Brianna's Capelet to be a replica of the one worn by Sophie Skelton (Brianna Randall Fraser) of the TV show “Outlander”, Season 4 Drums of Autumn. It's a lovely rustic-look garter stitch capelet (short cape). Perfect for those damp days in Wilmington. Skill Level: Advanced Beginner - Intermediate. This rustic garter stitch capelet is knit from side to side, using wrap and turn short rows to shape the shoulders. To knit this pattern you should know how to read a knitting pattern, and know all basic knitting skills, including the W & T technique. Designer’s note: Here is an excellent tutorial on Wrap & Turn in garter stitch that I highly recommend if you have any questions on how it is done. https://youtu.be/SgLcPUvsLUk Sizing: This will fit up to a plus size 3X as written. There are also notes to make smaller or larger. Supplies: 1 pair of straight knitting needles US size 13, or 1 pair of circular needles (or inter-changeable circular needles), US size 13 (I recommend using 32” circular cable). 1 Large eye tapestry needle for weaving in ends 1 Row counter (or paper and pen to keep track of row numbers and repeats) Optional: 2-4 buttons. 2, 1” buttons work best, but you can also use a brooch, shawl pin or alternative closure for the capelet. Yarn: Recommended Yarn is Lion Brand Scarfie yarn, Bulky weight, held double to create a super bulky weight yarn. You will need 2 skeins of 312 yards each. (If using the Scarfie yarn, because it is an ombre/self striping yarn, be sure that both skeins start at the same color so the striping happens.) You can also substitute any other super bulky weight yarn you like. Gauge: 4 stitches = 1 Inch Finished Measurements: After wet blocking, your capelet should measure approximate 15” in length, approximately 65” around bottom edge, and approximately 23” around the neckline edge.

The purpose of this workout is to serve the needs of those somewhat familiar with basic punching techniques (possibly with a martial arts background) who are wanting to get a good workout on a heavy bag into a busy schedule. i am a father, husband, full-time student and full-time employee at Xerox, so my workouts need to fit into some pretty tight timeframes! I hope you find this workout useful to that end as well.
