i was taking some photographs of the snow the other day. i found a perfect snowflake on our car window, focused the camera on it, and by the time i went to snap the photo, it had melted.
last night was spent cuddled under blankets on the couch with my love. we drank tea, and i worked on a needle felt project while we watched mary tyler moore. love that show. i was working on the base of a needle-felted playscape. the base is my least favorite part as i find it gets boring rather quickly, but i finished it. tonight my love is going out with a friend and i am looking forward to spending the evening adding colored wool and bringing the playscape to life.
i just began felting wool this past fall and find it a satisfying way to make something beautiful. the wool is comforting in my hands...soft and real. i often find myself wondering about the sheep that the wool came from, especially when i find a small piece of hay or grass as i'm working.
this is my first playscape, created this past fall. i came up with a vague idea in my head, went with it, and this is the result. i am very happy with how it turned out.
well, the little one is up from her nap. it's time for some soup for lunch.
