Obsession

This year, I was very organised about my Christmas wish list ,making it clear that I really didn't mind what I received as long as I can make felt with it. I even (rather naughtily) kept slipping the name of my wool supplier into conversations.

What can I say, Santa was extremely generous and sent half the contents of Wingham Woolworks my way. I thankfully received a couple of kilo's of wool, some of it pre-dyed and blended with silk, a hat block, an amazing book full of felt hat designs, a tussah silk brick, silk gauze for nuno felting, a wash board (yet to be tried), an Ashford felting board, a felters rolling pin (a must have), India's magical book, olive soap, bubble wrap, and so much more.

Lets just say that I am very happy and have enough goodies to fuel my woolly obsession for a long time to come. Thank you Santa!

Hello Jasmine - I'm so glad you stopped by! I thought I had added you to my Blogs I Love list and I hadn't - arrggh! I couldn't for the life of me remember your blog's name, so now I have made sure I've put you in my side panel. The necklace you made me gets so many compliments, you'll be pleased to hear. I did what you did before xmas too and told all my santas that I only wanted art and craft supplies. Well, did my santas deliver! Lol.

PS. I love your solstice photo - BEAUTIFUL!!!! Magical...spiritual!

Debrina - That is so kind of you to say so. I took the Stonehenge picture in June at a Druid fire ceremony. i had hoped to take more recent pictures at the winter solstice gathering but was unable to make it. Wishing you all the best for 2010 xx

Lucky you! Santa must have thought you'd been very good last year to leave you such a wonderful pile of gifts. We hope you have fun with them.
