"Summer" Projects

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 !
