Springtime... in the twighlight zone .

23/5/2020

 
Hello to everyone.
​I hope you have all managed to get outside and make the most of the lovely weather most of us have experienced during the Spring . Though at the time of writing, it is a lot cooler and very windy here .
I would guess , that no matter how many Spring times  you have behind you, that you've never had one quite so bizarre as  2020. Outside, nature continues  as it always has done , our resident garden blackbirds have fledged yet another brood as they have done for the last few years , the hawthorn is in blossom and the daffodils and bluebells have come and gone and the woodland is carpeted with the beautiful , and tasty wild garlic, with their bright white  flowers and lush leaves . The human world however, could have well been living an episode of the the twilight  zone since March , for those of us old enough to remember that series .😀
Sadly, there are  no recent workshops to report on , but be assured that Annie , at Quirky workshops, and Sue and Gaynor at  ArtisON  have been working tirelessly to try and reschedule all their postponed bookings , I'm sure everyone appreciates  this is a great undertaking and on behalf of us all , I'd like to thank them for their efforts .
I may have  mentioned last time that , we had a bit more activity in our Etsy shop , which I'm assuming is due , unfortunately, to the physical shops being closed . One of the things which has proved very popular is the Lakeland  picture kit which Richard put together  as shown  in the February News blog . He has since put together a new one , inspired by our happy memories over the years from our time spent in north Yorkshire . This  is a kit where you can create a Swaledale scene , featuring of course a Swaledale sheep . This too has been very popular with a few going overseas . Take a look at the short video Richard  has filmed demonstrating this kit taking shape on the videos page. this kit is also on  Etsy

You may be aware of the wool felting pads  which I use in the workshops , and you may also have bought one for yourselves ? I made them to a size which I have found best suited to most projects , from the larger things like doorstops and hares we make in classes, down to the hedgehog and bunnies ,  Richard also uses them for making the cushions . However, I had an email the other day asking if I had any smaller ones about half the size . I had considered making a smaller version but was unsure if there was a demand for it,  so it appears there may be,  we have  now made a few and  have them  listed in my Etsy shop .

That's all for now, and hopefully we'll soon find a way out of. .........
The Twighlight Zone !

Best wishes everyone.
