Like Fiona I live near Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England, in fact I was born and brought up in a small mining village a little north of Newcastle, in Northumberland. Most of the men worked down the pit as did both my Grandfathers, my Uncles, and my Dad until he left after an accident (he is 84 now). I can remember when I was a small child seeing men going home after shift with coal blackened faces and white eyes, just like you see on TV in old movies. Thank you for the tutorial Chrissie, and for stirring up a long forgotten memory.<br />Smiles<br />KateKate @ Smiles From Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525561534884021883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-74577951487876221712016-04-29T02:43:53.992-04:002016-04-29T02:43:53.992-04:00Living in Newcastle I completely get the heading :...Living in Newcastle I completely get the heading :) you certainly whipped up a veritable storm of pixie baskets Chris, they look great togetherCeltic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-56141152251329730112016-04-28T09:27:02.073-04:002016-04-28T09:27:02.073-04:00Beautiful!They make pretty and useful gifts.
