Saving Culture, Craft, Frugality

History tells us the Welsh people were fierce warriors and even when the English built castles on their lands they had a way of rising above their would be conquerors.

As soon as spring flowers dotted the hillside beneath the shadows of the Englishmen's massive castles that could not be forcibly entered the local residents set up booths for their crafts.

The English were attracted away from their stone towers and in this way became friendly with the people.  Friendly enough to intermarry with the lovely Welsh maidens and lusty youthful lads.  In the end the Welsh were the conquerors.

The work is just to give a reason and rhyme for my wishing for the children in my family to know of their Welsh background (Joneses) and become aware of the value of hand work.  Even though we can buy everything much cheaper at the dollar store. 

Because of this busyness I've not had time to fill in with other projects going on around me.  However, promises are here for pictures of the craft show, coming up, Saturday.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I must get with it.  I have several aprons to do today, yet.
