Maternity leave win: Getting my act together to sign up for a conference with free online viewing. Maternity leave fail: not realising until too late that the timings given were local and missing the paper I wanted to see. #DHAConference #TapestryConservation

A reminder to not cut corners (literally please do pull out furniture and remove all those carpet corners!!)
Q. In a museum full of hairy, furry, feathered objects, where did we find clothes moths? A. Living on old wool carpet under a large book case. Carpet fitters had cut round bookcase to fit new synthetic material but left the old in place underneath. #attentiontodetail

Fantastic video featuring Icon member @HanSuthers discussing how the conservation team prepared a stunning My Fair Lady costume for display. The costume was once worn on the West End stage by Julie Andrews in her role as Eliza Doolittle in the classic musical My Fair Lady.

People writing up PACR reports for accreditation, I'm on the hunt for better words for saying "I did this". I feel like we all hate writing like it wasn't a team effort, but needs must. Please add your thoughts below 🙏 I noted I highlighted I pointed out I chose I recommended...
