1892 Ohio Infantryman Silk Scarf
I love the cemetery. It is a great place to commune with the dead, my crayon, and my silk. It's like going to a mellow party where I get to meet people one-on-one and spend as much time with them as I like.
There are many Ohio Infantrymen at Greenlawn Cemet… Continue

Hannah Died Silk Scarf
Hannah Died... in the mid-1800's. But I think she might still be hanging around her grave at Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio. When I left the grave site, my engine malfunction light went on. Curious.
After I got home, and my kids had returned hom… Continue

Yup that be me and my "stuff."
I have scaled back a bit and am getting ready for a show in one more week. I will post some photo's after the show (bad luck to show before you know).
I haven't been back to site site too much lately due to work (which I'm leaving for shortly) so I probably need to do some housekeeping.
Thanks for your comments.

- Welcome Alissa, I have enjoyed reading your blog, viewing your photos, and reading the article about your gravestone rubbing scarves. How interesting and a bit exciting. I just started reading about rubbings and I like how you honor the dead with your scarves. I also LOVE that Fall color scarf in your photos. I looked at your etsy site and didn't see it, darn! Your work is beautiful and fascinating.

charlotte nunn said… - Hi again Alissa - What a great idea! ie. to find out if there's an Historic Soc. for Grand Manan and if they've any record/information about that lonely little tombstone by the sea. You're sooooo right! It is amazing that the tombstone letters could still be read!! It was in very poor shape, as I recall - the lettering badly worn, but still 'there' enough to be able to make out most of the words. Cheers! Charlotte

- And as a funny aside--somehow a group of french stitchers got my flickr and my blog on their minds and I'm getting TONS of comments and questions IN FRENCH!!! ha ha ha ha I have NO idea what they're saying, but it seems very enthusiastic. I'm just trying to keep up with my little dictionary in hand! Be careful what you ask for--oui?

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
