Slowly an idea has been formulating.
I thought …. Dresses, Lace…. and then thought again …. Dresses, Lace and came up with an idea.
Most people are happy with a pet goldfish, cat or dog but my younger sister has an alpaca or three. They have a wonderful temperament and keep the weeds down in her meadow and also produce wonderful fleece…. which she gives to me !

Dotty and textiles are my perfect combination.
I slept like a baby the evening of the felt workshop. Although the felting process is a very physical one, I had forgotten how tiring it is to think on your feet and make design decisions fast as part of the creative process. The felt scarf took a day to make and I absolutely love the result. Especially wearing it with my lovely vintage ‘linen’ brooch.
