@SArthure @drspacejunk Well done Susan. Amazing achievements and wonderful news. Definitely time for a well earned rest.

Northern Irish textile folks - can anyone direct me to where I can find out about jacquard linen table cloth designs, where/when made etc? I’m researching some family heirlooms and am after some manufacturing and social context. @roisin_aiston @valeriewilson57 @Ourlinenstories

@AidanOSulliva15 There’s no money to be had from baking unless you go big scale. I’ve been there, tried that. Have to find the sweet spot of still enjoying the creativity and occasionally covering your costs.

[Alison Beadnell @barmycakes]

@sallypointer Please note, original manual don’t cover changes of usage. Shifting to academic output after years of manual creative programs can cause glitches. Not sure if ‘turning it off and on again’ applies in this generation of soft(grey matter)ware.

[Alison Beadnell @barmycakes]

@sallypointer Congratulations. I look forward to seeing where it takes you. I’m starting an experimental archaeology GradCert at UCD next week. Yikes.

@howtobeadopted Do we ever believe we are genuinely deserving of credit, or do we always suspect there’s some other ulterior motivation or sympathy involved. I guess we think through and second guess every decision we make, so assume others do it to us.

@knitty_cat Ps… I made this from the fleece I was given. Can’t believe the smelly bin bag of fleece ended up like this.

Having a play with clay making some West Stow based spindle whorls. Not an academic exercise, but using the 1:1 scale drawings has helped. Hoping to cast some in pewter. #experimentalarchaeology

[Alison Beadnell @barmycakes]

@knitty_cat It’s a smelly job, but worth the effort. They should dry real quick in this heat too. 🐑💜

[Alison Beadnell @barmycakes]

@kariebookish Ooh no. We will be heading Kelvingrove and Botanic Gardens direction - any better luck there?

[Alison Beadnell @barmycakes]

Looking for a central Glasgow independent wool shop open this weekend? Any recommendations? @kariebookish @wandwoolly

[Alison Beadnell @barmycakes]

@besmart It’s the East Anglian Archaeology EAA 24 report. Volume 1 is the report text, vol 2 the drawings. I’m sure I downloaded it free, but I was a student at UCL at the time.

[Alison Beadnell @barmycakes]

Week 4 complete. Only 3 days left to go. Thanks to those who have already given. I usually keep my life private, but doing this is bigger than me. Nothing will change what happened for us, but @CR_UK can help change outcomes for others. https://t.co/n9D3PJ7rHO

The neurovascular-glial unit as a Cajal embroidery is featured on the front cover of The Lancet Neurology today. Thanks to the talented Paula Urrutia @DZNE_en of #TheCajalEmbroideryProject for her contribution.

My beautiful Mother’s Day card made from @WhoGivesACrapTP wrappers. Such delicacy out of waste paper. I do love a bit of up-cycling. 💛💚💙

This is what I’m up to this month....

This is my good friend who lost her husband to cancer 18 months ago very suddenly. It's an excellent cause.

@TheCoeliacSloth I made the beef in black bean. Then the KFC chicken. Both great.

@McGowanKim You could try whipping up one of these courtesy of Jay and Dom’s Home Fix, iplayer, S1 E9. Assuming you have some copper piping just hanging around. Have a lovely day whatever you decide to do.
