HomeWelcome to my site!
Hi all!
I love to do crafts! You name the craft and I do it, or probably have done it. X-stitching and knitting are my present preferred crafts, but I like to do a lot of others, too.

P.S. I respect copyright laws. The designers need the money to feed their families. They also need to get paid in order to be able to keep producing the patterns we love. However, I will happily share with anyone, where I found any free pattern.

Abolitionist John Brown seized the armory and arsenal on October 16, 1859. He saw the ferry as the place to capture arms with which to equip an army and free the slaves of the Deep South. Brown's raid was a... more

Oh, that's so cool!!! It truly is a small world. I'll have to ask Savannah if she knows him. I'm sure she does. She's such a nice kid that she makes it a point to get to know everybody.

Oooohhh..Mrs. Huffman's son, John Michael, was on the t-ball team that I coached. Savannah was in Mrs. Park's class this year, but she loves Mrs. Huffman.

My daughter is in the 2nd grade. She'll be going into the 3rd. You may have to give me your sister's name. I may know her.
bikergirl279 wrote on Jul 3
Well, if she's in the Gainesboro area, then they probably are in the same school. What grade is he in?

Thank you so much for your comment on my other blog ... I value your opinion and I'm glad you came by. ** Hugs **.
bikergirl279 wrote on Jul 2
Yeah, that's 522N. We're near the Gainesboro area. In fact, my kids go to that school.
bikergirl279 wrote on Jul 2
Is she on 522North or 522South?

And we never know how different the present would be if just one event such as this would have turned out differently...
Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for that Bayeaux tapestry video Linda. You are right it WAS interesting. It was fairly clever how that was done. There sure are some talented people around.... It was a bit gruesome in parts.... heads coming off, and all sorts, and i recognized the theme music from the movie, Gladiator!
One thing the tapestry itself ignores is this.....
In 1066 the crown of England was up for grabs..... There were 3 parties in the running, Harold, William- Duke of Normandy and a viking leader called Harald Hardrada, of Norway.
Harald Hardrada invaded the east coast of England first. He had 300 ships and 9000 men. He quickly defeated the English, taking York. By now, Harold of England was force marching his troops north to meet the threat. For once, the Vikings under Hardrada were caught napping without any armour, as they did not expect to see an English army in the vicinity. The ensueing battle was hard fought, swinging one way, then the next. At the crucial moment as it seemed the English would rout, the Viking leader Harald Hardrada, received his death wound from an arrow. The vikings morale collapsed..... Viking Reinforcements from the ships 15 km away, ran panting onto the scene. To late, the battle was lost. Harold of England had won.
It is said that only 24 shiploads of vikings limped back across the North sea to home.
As fate would have it, William duke of Normandy landed on the south coast. Harold force marched his battle weary men to meet this new threat. Harold was defeated and killed, but the answer remains... If only his army had not been weakened by the Vilking attack, perhaps the Battle of Hastings would have ended in defeat for William Duke of Normandy.

I had to go check the Bayeux Tapestry. Interesting. I had never heard of it. I find it fun to read about antique things like that.Thank you for telling me about it.
deanlannes07 wrote on Jun 15
Hey up Linda. Hows things? Hope you are okay.Having an hectic weekend here. Sometimes it's hard to keep up, thats for sure! I was reading a book about Vikings the other day and There was a section all about the Bayeux Tapestry. In fact it is not a Tapestry at all but an embroidered peice of linen measuring 40 metres by fifty centimetres. Apparently it was embroidered in the famous needlwework school at Canterbury, England soon after 1066 to celebrate William the Conquerors victory. The original is now preserved in the Old Archibishops Palace at bayeux, in Normany. There is also a very good copy of it in the Reading Art Gallery, embroidered by 35 industrious needlewomen, from Staffordshire in 1885-86. It is now mounted and framed in 25 dust proof panels.
Just thought you might be interested, in that what you do plays a part in shaping history.

Thank you for asking me Dean. Now it is much easier to keep up with what you are writing.

Thankyou for accepting my friends request too. I'm honoured to have you on board!

Thankyou so much Linda. History can be exciting.........It's all about making it interesting enough to grip peoples imagination. This story for instance, i've kept to hard facts about the campaign in 1812, real things that did happen and i've also tried to get thge dates exact. The trouble with teachers in schools is that they make lessons boring. they don't tend to set the imagination alight. Thats the problem. I suffered from it too at school, the sheer boredom, teachers droning on..........
My family thinks i would make a great history teacher, making it exciting....
I can understand you feeling tired, i know that it is long reading.... I have wrote part 8. I just have to write it up on here, and it should be up in the next few days.
Thankyou for sticking with this.... As i've said it's long, but theres a story to tell, and you will like part 8.
I've not needed much research on this story. I've been into Napoleon since my early twenties, being 39 now. I thus consider myself a bit of an authority on the subject!

Thank you for visiting and commenting on my WB piece. I visited you earlier, following a trail of pieces about Beauty and wondering where the challenge originated. I loved your sunset - sorry I didn't comment, I'm a bit shy when I don't know the person.
