The Bakewell Old House Museum II

I'm sharing this post as Ruby Tuesday and My world Tuesday entry. As I've promised, this is the continuation of my post last week about The Bakewell Old House Museum which we visited on our honeymoon in Derbyshire. Now you'll get to know the rest of the old house museum characters during the Tudor period in Derbyshire, England.

In 1777 Richard Arkwright, the founder of the factory system, built his third cotton mill at Bakewell and divided this house into 5 cottages for workers at the mill.

This is what the farmers used to wear on their wedding during Tudor period 

This two buckets the lady carries in her shoulder was used to collect milk to make cheese during Tudor period

This is the equipment used in washing clothes during Tudor period

And what my hunny is holding is the machine used to dry the clothes 

And this is the head mistress 

And this is the most popular history, the discovery of Bakewell pudding. We bought one and was so yummy!

There you go, that's a bit of history of English life during Tudor period. Hope you enjoy the tour! Back to Chatsworth House, what's inside it?That's my next entry all about. So please come and visit me again..Have a good day!  

Honeymoon Token

Peak District I think is one of the nicest place here in England specifically Bakewell. I say it though I haven't travelled much here because its completely superb for me, the landscape, the traditional houses, the shops, the people, Chatsworth,, Monday market, everything! Oh I guess the very moment I stepped there I fell inlove right then on the place. So as that and as our honeymoon token, I decided to buy and make a crosstitch pattern of Derbyshire popular landmarks. I've started it, slowly moving though but hopefully I'll finished it soon!

The pattern, instructions, the coloured cottons I am using and the started master piece!

You see, I'm working on it, not that close but moving on slowly.hehe..Just have loads of things to redo but worth it in the end I know when I finally hang it in our wall framed! Yay!
How about you what is your art passion or have you had any honeymon token? Feel free to share it here and some tips for crosstitching as well please! Good day!
