News & Updates
Hello again ! We last had a catch up in March , and here we are in mid "Summer" already . Well the seasons may have changed since March but the weather certainly has not . Apart from a couple of days last week when the sun came out and the temperature managed to get up into the low 20s C here In the North and West , we managed to get a couple of walks on the fells and then it was back to grey skies , wind, rain and temperatures hardly into double figures . The vegetable garden , is doing quite well under the circumstances , and I now have the benefit of a greenhouse which is is something I've always wanted and helps a lot . ![]() As the weather is so inclement , we've been been getting on with indoor felting projects. I wanted to introduce another kit to the current ones available and red squirrels are something I've made in the past , and Richard has done several cushions .These delightful animals are popular subjects, and can be seen , if you are lucky, in just a few parts of the UK and Ireland now, and we are lucky enough to have some around our town . I'm working on a kit with video instructions like the hare and others , and Richard has been working on another A4 size picture kit which should be available on Etsy soon using a hessian template as with the other picture kits . The squirrel is in a pose on top of a fence post or if you like a log , with a backdrop of , mountains ,trees , a Cumbrian lake , or it could be a Scottish loch , Welsh lake or Irish Lough? As with all the pictures you can use your creativity and imagination to add your own details to the basic scene with the wool provided. ![]() The squirrel kit I am working on will take a little longer and will be available when I've worked out the method and put together the wools and a video. This should be ready for the Autumn and the shorter days which will be here before we know it , I'll have to be thinking about the nativity kits again too as another year seems to be flying past ! I will of course let everyone know when the kits are ready and when the nativity figures are back in the shop . Until next time, best wishes and enjoy your crafting ! Comments are closed.
