Hi Anna, All of the tablets are 3mm or thinner (if they needed a bit of extra sanding!)

The look lovely. How thick are the 5-hole tablets?...

Segue : I've recently found Etsy (and now have a new set of rings :-) but I was quite suprised at the scarcity of tassels there. As in - bugger all.
I'm disappointed coz I want a new one for my cane (decorative as well as making it more visible), but the type you do would be too expensive for me. (So why am I telling you? I dunno - coz you are the tassel lady, and I've been searching for tassels) *grin*
What I SHOULD do is make one myself!!!!!!!!!!

Jem, I have been looking into downloadables - the shop software I use does have a function, but I'm not entirely sure how secure it is.

As I said, my bissest thing at the moment is what to do for smaller instruction and what to save for a book - and still ensuring that it is all simple, as I can waffle on a bit sometimes... ;)

Ooh a book, fabulous, I'll ordering a copy! have y...

Ooh a book, fabulous, I'll ordering a copy!
have you thought of doing downloadable instructions with a small fee for each project? It seems to work really well for the beading comunity and I know since I got a copy of Nancy Nehrings heirloom button book I've been overwhelmed by requests to lend so everyone else can learn how to do the victorian flag buttons!

Not entirely sure how it works, I think you pay via paypal then get ent a code which when you type in allows you to down load that set of instructions - the code keeps changing so people can't pass it on - if it's reasonably priced I think most people would buy a down load rather than faffing about copying it to a disk and passing it on....
maybe we should get together and do a historical craft projects download group rather like "beaducation"....Cathy might be interested in it as an extention of Your Wardrobe unlocked even...

Oh wow, that is stunning

Both your weaving and the hardware are really beautiful! I was surprised to read that it is for an exhibit at Dover. I was there in the 90's and it was in need of some repair. So I went to the castle website and was amazed at how much better the castle looks! And reproduction furnished interior! Wow!!! I may have to go have another look someday...

Oooh - that burgundy looks familiar! I am sure I just helped my mum sew the backing to it. I think Nicky is turning it into a medieval girdle belt with Jewelled rivet/studs.

Guess who is sewing the lining into place tomorrow (Friday?).

Very beautiful indeed. And if you really want to get "borrowed" covered as well, you could borrow her one half of the small frogs for the wedding (and collect payment after that). Or she'll just have to borrow something else : )
