We are surrounded by colour combinations in daily life…..and one of the things I really enjoy is to somehow connect them up with my textiles.  I took the photo of beach paraphernalia (is that how you spell it??) the other day…..my tea cosy echoes it, which reminds me, I must make some more!!  I got my car yesterday - I LOVE it……have a good day x

More fleece ready to spin or felt…..this blue sings to me - such a rich colour.  Today I'm off to Brighton with a friend who is buying an I-pad…then home to get my car…yippee!!

There seem to be a lot of bikes in this part of the world ….. and not just for riding!!  I enjoyed biking in the summer - but tomorrow I get my little car - so shall I still use the bike??  We shall see!

My boy Jeeves checking out the logs … all stacked up ready for the winter.  The spun wool is in the process of being made up into another whacky bag.  Will I ever stop??  I don't think so!  Have a good weekend x

Gorgeous dyed curly fleece….there's always an element of disappointment when this is used in some way .  I think it looks so good like this - maybe I should just have baskets of fleece around the house…….I'm very excited today because I've made the decision to buy myself a little car.  I sold my last one in the summer, and although in many ways I am ok without one - I do miss the independence and freedom of being mobile.  So …… almost on the spur of the moment, yesterday we went around the corner to the garage and there sat a 3yr old little run-around.  exactly what I need - nothing fancy.  It is such a good deal and I get 2 years warranty, 2 years free RAC, free tax, free mot and 2 years free servicing.  A no-brainer really - so freedom - here I come….!! 

I'm not sure why but this combination of felted knit and weave always reminds me of the beach and sea…this morning the wind is roaring outside - so I'm thinking maybe not a good idea to dog walk by the sea - might get blown over!!  I'll just look at photos instead…..

A mountain of knit…..I enjoy seeing things pile up….now that winter is approaching it is quite a delicious thought to think of sitting by the fire knitting……..I always think that wool comes into its own in the dark, cold days.  I now have to stretch my mind and find good things to make and sell during the summer months!!
