Mini Pudding Puzzle 2024 Part 1

 Mini Pudding Puzzle 2024 Part 1

Now for something completely different. I had promised that I would do something from a Kit and here it is.  This Kit was bought from Bakewell Museum. It is a great place to visit and I have attached the website address at the bottom.

Bakewell Museum Kit











I picked this Kit because it was dealing with a modern form of English Paper Piercing. I have never done either so this would be something completely new.

Inside Kit











When I opened the Kit this is what was Inside.  There was the Hexiform (small pieces), the Material (larger) and the Holly and Beads.

Checking Hexiform











When using any type of Kit whether crafting or DIY I always start by checking that I have the right types of Materials and the correct Quantity.

I have checked the Hexiform and it was all good apart from the fact that at this point my Pen decided to break on me.

White Set Layout











I was about to Count all the White Pieces when I had an inspiration. I would do it by laying it out against the Pattern. This killed two birds with one stone.

White and Brown Layout











So far so good. The White was all accounted for so now time to add the Brown to that part of the Pattern.

Brown Layout











Eureka! All the Brown Pieces corresponded to to the Layout.

Both Layouts








In the photograph above you can see Both Layouts side by side. Above the Layouts is the Pattern. You can see a blue sticker. That holds a Needle. Unfortunately there is no thread so I have to go hunting.

Torc About Lucky 2022

 Torc About Lucky 2022

Back in 2018 my friend was kind enough to take me to the National Coal Mining Museum.

My Friend Finn











 It was Finn’s 10th Birthday. He is a beautiful Clydesdale Horse.

Finn’s Shoe











 

During a visit to the Blacksmith I was given one of Finn’s old Shoes.

7 Inch Long

 











It is hard to properly gauge the size so I thought I would get out the measuring tape and from Top to Bottom it was 7 Inches Long.

7 Inch Wide

 










Since it is a Curved object I thought I would Measure it at its Widest point. Unbelievably it is as Wide as it was Long.

5 Inch Heel










 

Lastly I Measured across at the Bottom. Finn’s Heel was 2 Inches Less at 5 Inches.

Horse Shoe Tools


 







An idea is brewing in my brain. How at first I needed to get my Tools to clean the Horse Shoe.


Apologies for the layout, Not sure what happened.
