My girlfriend came third in an embroidery competition for Livery companies, organized by the Broders Livery Company(embroiders), attached is a picture of the second place entry. I am sure that this has to be ,at least a candidate for hassock of the week
I think that this is going to be my one opportunity in life to say that, and as I am never one to miss an opportunity, I had to take it
Thanks Phil !this week's hassock of the week is quite special as it's from the ascension memorial church ipswich massachusetts. before you panic that i've spent the funkypancake travel budget on a trip to massachusetts to take a picture of a hassock, i didn't. i took the photo in a church in ipswich, england.
i think i've tracked down the ascension memorial church though. it's here. interesting rotating pictures on the front page, especially the one which shows a girls coat glowing with holiness
i'm starting to get a bit low on hassocks, so if you've got any nice ones you can photo, please send them to me at blog@funkypancake.com
an absolute classic hassock this week ! This is British Hassockery at it's best.
it's a magic electric finger (not to be confused with my cousin chris' magic fingers art shops)
i've decided to start a new category which i hope you'll all enjoy. i don't normally 'big-up' a new category, but i'm hoping this will be a good one.
it's Hassocks. you know. those church kneeler things.
the best ones are those made by members of the church congregation (some of whom may be reading this so i need to be careful).
Hassocks combine many of my favourite things:
* resting/kneeling down (though i'd rather sit to be honest)
* 1980s computer graphics
* tenuous religious links
* home-made crafting (cross stitch and needlepoint)
* church building interiors
* chocolate
he's our first one, which has a dog on it. dog is an anagram of odg and ogd, but also God. which is why i assume it's on a Hassock.
great stuff.
