Strange days .

Hello everyone .
First of all , I hope you are all well . I have not  written a news letter since February  , but then again these are very bizarre times , with  uncertain times ahead no doubt. 

We completed the first workshop of the year in March which was appropriately enough the hares , but If any of you have booked on any of my classes since then, at Quirky Workshops or Artison , you will be aware that everything is now up in the air , with any  classes that were scheduled while the current situation continues  having been cancelled  or hopefully  rescheduled, if possible.(and it's not just our felting classes affected obviously)    . All this will be a problem , to say the very least ,for Annie, at Quirky, and Sue and Gaynor at Artison , who work so hard to make everyone welcome and ensure these events run so smoothly. A difficult job at the best of times. Then there are the galleries , Viridian in Keswick , Thornthwaite , Gallery 2 down in Windermere  and Blue Poppy in Appleby .  Like many other  businesses , they have been forced to close their doors during this glorious Spring weather at one of their busiest times of the year , and  I'd  like to  wish Diane, Oliver, Bill and Lisa, well . See you again soon.

​
So , with everything else being on hold we have been making use of the fine weather by going outside and carding a couple of Swaledale fleeces which we have not previously  got  round to processing , and with the forecast set fine for the next week there's some Herdwick fleece to sort out too.
​

There has been some activity in the Etsy shop . I can only assume this is due to the fact that people are using their enforced spare time  to be creative , they can't really get out too often  I suppose . The things which have been popular, are the Lakeland picture kit , and the new three sheep kit which I have just put together . This one is accompanied by tutorial video instructions which can be accessed from this website . I've wanted to do this for a while but never got round to it , as it's quite time consuming , and then Richard had to edit it and upload it . Time is something we have found ourselves with however , and so that's all done now , and I'd be interested to get some feed back to hear how useful the videos are .
There's not much else to say really , we had intended to visit our Daughter and Son in law so are missing both of  them and  our Grandson , We are at least able to make do with Skype or Zoom , and  fortunately therefore , did not miss out on his first few words a week or so ago , but ,  everyone reading this, will be in the same predicament of not being able to visit  or be visited .

That's all for now , and hopefully the next newsletter will be a much more upbeat , and I'd just like to thank everyone for their support and wish you all good health and hope to catch up with you all soon !
​
Cheers !
