 Hello once again Everyone ! It's been a while and here we are in the middle of March , with Easter fast approaching , and by which time for so many years , I would have had a workshop or two completed already , and be preparing for the upcoming ones . As many of you may know if you've read my previous updates towards the end of last year this year had to be different ( Looking ahead ) . We have been mainly busy keeping the Etsy store stocked up with all the popular items , and I introduced a new kit with video tutorial , namely the chicks pictured in the photo above . Of course chicks are cute and are a nice little project all year round , but as they are traditionally associated with Spring time , I wanted to get them ready for Easter . If you fancy making them they are still available at Woollysfelting on Etsy . I've also been making up some of the blended coloured wool batts on my drum carder , these always seem popular , and I really enjoy making them and choosing the shades to blend which people can use in their varied projects .I have also been sending a good percentage of orders out to The USA lately too.  The weather so far this year needs no mentioning , as it seems to have been equally dismal for most parts of the UK , our garden has been waterlogged much of the time , but I have managed to get some vegetables going in the conservatory ready for planting out , I am just hoping and waiting for some drier weather to do so . Despite the weather and other commitments , we have managed to take the occasional walk up the fells here in the Lake District on the rare fine days, which always makes you feel better after the fresh air and exercise  This has just been a short update to let people know that I am still here and keeping busy ,despite not having a full workshop calendar to prepare for this year, and this has freed up the time I may need. My Mother has for the last year or so had mobility and health issues and it means not having to try to fit in my commitments with various hospital appointments which often seem to get cancelled and rearranged . Though these updates may not be quite as frequent as in previous years If I have anything to report , and if I've been crating anything I think you might be interested in I will of course be posting it here . So best wishes to all , and keep having fun needle felting !  |
