About Us

Alf and Emma: Hello everyone. We are Alf and Emma, a couple of 16th century alchemists, herbalists, and all-around eccentrics. Now, you may think it's strange that two Elizabethan persons (such as we are) might have blogs on the internet. Well, it is strange, but we alchemists have always been ahead of our time. In these blogs we plan to keep track of all the new projects and research that we have been exploring. So, hang on to your hats; here we go!

Judy Blume Quote

"My mother told me once that she had her talk with God whenever she started a new sweater: 'Please don't take me in the middle of the sweater.' And so soon as she finished knitting a sweater, and it was blocked and put together, she already had the wool to start the next sweater so that nothing bad happened."

Judy Blume
