There's something rather special about handspun yarn. Ok, it takes for ever, but I find the slow rhythm of the spinning wheel very therapeutic!

More practice displays..
couldn't resist taking the picture of a shop on St. Pancras Station! I thought it looked so inviting and rural ...

I can't seem to keep up with the request for more gloves......they are fun to knit and I usually knit the flowers whilst on train journeys! It's so good to have comments from people when they see me knitting! What a great way to make friends!

I couldn't resist taking a photo of these gorgeous vegetables.....pumpkins = Halloween...so autumn has really kicked in. When I go walking I love to feel the crunch of acorns, and crispy golden leaves underfoot. Although the weather is colder now, it has its compensations!

I spent some time yesterday planning my limited space for the Exhibition. It is so difficult to display textiles, because they can so easily end up looking like a jumble sale!! Anyway, I have a better idea now of what I shall do...and of course I shall have my good old coat stand with me!
The weather has changed (sadly) so the bright colours helped to cheer up an otherwise dull day. This morning I shall wrap up, put my boots on, and head off to the woods with the 'girls'!

Today I am going to line and finish off my latest bags ready for the Lewes Exhibition at the end of the month. I can't believe it's October already, so I must get my skates on!!

For some reason I love edges...I'm not sure what it is that fascinates me but it could be something to do with 'looking through'...a bit like looking at a pathway and wondering where it will lead.......I also like to see things en masse..piled high or put together in some way. Like looking at the fruit in a greengrocers, or flowers in a flower shop. It's always disappointing to buy some flowers, then when you get home they look rather sad on their own!! Anyway, here are some of my edges of sketch books, felt and gloves.
