    My pre-Gulf Wars 12th century sewing projects… :)

    2016/04/02

    Now, that the pre-war stress, which normally comes along with the preparations for a huge event like Gulf Wars, is finally fading away, I find myself with enough peace and time again to catch up with my pre-war projects like this three “last minute” 12th century dresses. Well, to be a little bit more exact – I hand-sewed a new purple 12th century overdress (the one on the left) as well as two new underdresses with Trapunto necklines and Trapunto cuffs before Gulf Wars.

    I purchased a printed scarf, and Racaire was able to help me with international shipping (via messenger). The item arrived quickly, exactly as promised, and beautifully wrapped. And as a bonus, Racaire is a lovely person. I recommend Racaire and hope to make future purchases soon!

    positive review  I have admired Racaire’s Workshop for a while. The examples of period style and the detail put into the finished work always looks great. I ordered some linen coifs for my kit and was asked important question that made my experience a good one. Besides size, color and intended use. I am happy with my purchase.

    positive review  I have followed Racaire's work for a decade. She is a true artist, and absolute magic with a needle! Her block printed fabrics are gobsmackingly gorgeous, with historically appropriate designs, and her embroidery and textile arts are without peer. Her historical research is spot on which is something this history geek truly appreciates. I recommend her work heartily! (and she's an awfully nice person to boot!)

As some of you know I love re- & upcycling. Today I decided to give some of my propagated pothos plants a new home in hanging pots made from coffee creamer bottles. They are relatively easy to cut and, as you can see in the pictures, the outside shows their watering status very well which makes it easy to care for the plants.I love the little plant wall I started in the sleeping room, it has quite a calming vibe. Furthermore pothos is known to help with air quality, easy to keep alive and is a great plant for a sleeping room.I hope I could inspire some of you to recycle your common plastic containers and maybe add some more green to your home....and now back to working on my seahorse sketch...Love,Racaire💚💚💚🌹💚💚💚#racaire #recycle #upcyled #upcycled #upcycle #pothos #plants #plantsmakepeoplehappy® #plantsmakemehappy #plantsforthebedroom #bedroom #indoorplant #wallplants ...
