We've done historical re-creation on the weekends for ages and sprang works great for Viking-age caps and such. It's a little difficult to learn (you feel all thumbs), but your fingers eventually get the hang of it. Peter Collingwood has a book on the technique.

I just poked around in here until I stumbled on where to put my pics and such. That's pretty much how I approach computers. ;-]

Now I think I might do it again. I like how my hair looked dark (I've had grey hair around my face since I was in high school, and before that it was a lighter dishwater blonde).

So maybe I'll get up the gumption again sometime and just do it! 8-]

Glad I could be of some help in keeping your going!

Nice meeting you too.

You're a neighbour of mine - well, relatively! I'm in N. Somerset, too, in Congresbury. I have 2 DDs too - (and a DS). I suspect I'm rather older than you, though: I was a late starter. Shall we go mad and become friends?
Best wishes,
Sue
