Tweed all about it! (geddit?)

This BBC series on Tweed looks fascinating...and is watchable/downloadable til the 29th...

For those of you not based in the UK, I'll write a wee bit up about it here...watch this space!

Baacode :-)

A friend told me about the Icebreaker baacode in her top....possibly the most inspired idea I've heard of all year (bar this one: stick with it, it's worth it).

You can use the code 213C3F390 to demo it and see the actual sheep ranch where the wool came from, how the fabric is made, and a video with the farmers detailing their lives and history. Fascinating stuff.

Alpaca

My, oh my. Think of this next time you squeeze a ball of alpaca yarn...it may be the softest of yarns, but, blimey, these guys are fierce...

Hope the farmer is okay....

Cecil Beaton

I find DIY fairly tiresome - but I would rip every scrap of the wallpaper off every room in our home and repaper tomorrow using this wonderful stuff! (If I had enough chocolate to get me up and down the ladder and I could still resist this wallpaper!)
