Reading an old thread about crafts here.
There was an interesting comment that I've only just spotted.
What is classed as a "Macho" craft I wonder.
Leatherwork could be seen as macho but it's only stitching so what about embroidery?
Making jerky is manly I guess but what about baking cakes or making jam?
How would this distinction stand up to a mountain man who needed a great mix of skills to thrive?
Now that's an interesting discussion.

How's this?...
I've stuffed 2 spare socks with lavender flower heads that I've cut back in the garden and placed one in each of my lads pillow cases to help aid quality sleep (not that they really need it, they can sleep for England if we let them) and to freshen their rooms a bit.
I've also got some elderberry wine on the go.
Not really macho crafts I know but all I can do with a bust hand
