I am lucky in that my work is often in the most visually interesting places. Today I was at Prema in Uley, where this wall is very much in the Cotswolds but is not a Cotswold wall you'd immediately recognise!
Another photograph of this beautifully decorated wall is on my photo a day blog

But I don't think they really mean this box, but the box which was inside: a Sky+ box.
sigh The trouble with living with a pedant for 28 years is that I'm fast becoming one myself.

Seen stapled to a telegraph pole in the village this morning.

Found this little gizmo in the City Quilter and thought it worth a try. Got out the old felting needles when I got home, played about a bit and, bingo - the result is revealed in my picture of the day yesterday.
Set me thinking that I could use one of my large collection of cookie cutters to do the same job. Hmmm....
craft, textiles, travelling Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 4:08PM Amongst the less interesting purchases (ziplock bags, koolaid and other permanent fixtures on my US shopping list) I unpacked a few goodies when we arrived home.

There's a short length of a fun fabric spotted in Purl Patchwork which will make a cute little bag for a small friend. The Interweave Felt contains a pattern from the Shibori Knits book which tempted me but didn't quite convince - maybe I'll give the scarf a try and see how I feel after a few months. Couldn't resist the little Japanese polar bears to needlefelt and had a similar lack of resistance the minute I picked up that skein of yarn - or was that Jordi's fault?
A curious fibre mix, n'est-ce pas? But oh, so soft.
;)
Isn't it an amazing colour, too?
Oh, and yes, that is an edamame pod in the picture. Well, a visit to Kinokunya results in all kinds of amusement!
