Ahhhh. August is here, the grass is burnt to a crisp. Ants are on the rummage -try wiping down with vinegar and water- the sky gods paint in deeper hues and the orb weavers know the whispering winds of change, as they ready their webs for an abundant catch!
Tis also the close of the Spring and Summer season workshops that culminated with the 3D needle felted playscapes this year. I hope those who attended the 'Something out of Nothing' classes this Spring and Summer were inspired to take their talents onward and will come back for some of the Autumn and Winter sessions with me!

Hello! I just discovered your blog and can't wait to have more time to explore. Such beautiful wool creations! (If I had found you in time to enter the giveaway I would have said that any post with pictures of your playscapes are a favorite. Wonderful!!)
Enjoyed reading your blog and seeing your felting! Off topic, but where is that beach scene? I think I need to go there! Did you?
Thanks!
What beautiful felting! And thank you for sharing the gardening calendar. I am learning more about biodynamics and enjoying it very much.
