Simply Thimbles: January 2013
http://simplythimbles.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Educational and Inspirational. Welcome to the humble world of the Thimble. Sunday, 6 January 2013. Why is it such a chore? Is it because it hurts when you accidentally iron your fingers as well as that tricky hem that just will not lie flat? It never ceases to amaze me that we can fly across the globe, we've even sent man to the moon and yet, after all this time, we are still ironing clothes. Our ancestors sure had it tough. All things considered I think I'll stick with my nice, light, modern steam iron&...

Simply Thimbles: July 2013
http://simplythimbles.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Educational and Inspirational. Welcome to the humble world of the Thimble. Tuesday, 2 July 2013. Most people will be aware that man first landed on the moon in 1969. What might not be so well known is that the world's first supersonic flight was also in 1969. October 1969, flights had been subsonic, meaning that they were slower than the speed of sound. Concorde's first supersonic flight meant people could now travel across the globe in a fraction of the time. These days the 7 Concordes belonging to Brit...

Simply Thimbles: April 2012
http://simplythimbles.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Educational and Inspirational. Welcome to the humble world of the Thimble. Friday, 20 April 2012. Aluminium (aluminum) is a light metal which is workable from cold and although it can corrode, it doesn't go rusty. The metal has the same drawback as silver though - it is incredibly soft and damages easily. I came across this thimble in a local second hand shop. It was part of a block purchase that I picked up for 50p. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Ruth O'Leary T...

Simply Thimbles: October 2011
http://simplythimbles.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Educational and Inspirational. Welcome to the humble world of the Thimble. Saturday, 15 October 2011. I'm finally starting to get settled again after moving for the second time in 6 months! I've picked up a few thimbles over the last few weeks, all of which went straight into a box and I've only just had the chance to take a good look at them and to take photos of them. This first one is a Morris Minor, also known as a "Moggie". Sticking with the Moggies theme, this thimble is also really sweet. Thimbles...

Simply Thimbles: October 2012
http://simplythimbles.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Educational and Inspirational. Welcome to the humble world of the Thimble. Sunday, 14 October 2012. Anyway, the slight down-side is that thimbles can highlight the passing of time. When Eldest and Youngest saw this little guy, they hadn't got a clue who he was. Watching him on Youtube didn't help much. They thought it was too slow and didn't really get the humour. They thought it was weird. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Avon; American Fashion. El blog de Maria.

Simply Thimbles: A Tribute to Dad's Army
http://simplythimbles.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-tribute-to-dads-army.html
Educational and Inspirational. Welcome to the humble world of the Thimble. Monday, 27 May 2013. A Tribute to Dad's Army. These guys are the characters from Dad's Army, a British TV comedy from the 1970s. It was a sit-com about the Home Guard during the Second World War. Dad's Army is and always will be one of my all time favourite comedies. Which is why I read with some sadness today that Bill Pertwee, the actor who played Warden Hodges, has passed away. John Le Mesurier 1912-1983. A Tribute to Dads Army.

Simply Thimbles: March 2015
http://simplythimbles.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Educational and Inspirational. Welcome to the humble world of the Thimble. Monday, 9 March 2015. I quite like vintage cars. I also like vintage sewing machines. So imagine my surprise when I found out that the White Steamer was made by the same company that made White Sewing Machines. How cool is that? Eventually, when steam power could no longer compete, the White Motor Company switched to combustion engines for their cars. They also made trucks, buses and tractors. It would be like watching a kettle!
