A bit of a twit

I've joined Twitter and I'm not sure I like it. Following the twit feeds of celebrities I like on screen doesn't mean I want to know that they're a) being sicked on by their new babies or b) being wined and dined in an LA restaurant. I feel like I'm stalking, although the celebrity feed is open and they tell their twitting followers only what they'd like them to know.

But it's a feed I don't think I'm hungry for. Not sure how long I'll last there but if you want to follow me and find out what I'm doing - staring out of the window - contemplating my naval - then I'm flaming_nora. Tweet, tweet, my lovely.

Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
