September ...

September is already on it's way.

There was some sun,

there was a splash of rain ...

Nooo ... not as big a splash as this ...
this splash was made for the
(still on-going .... no we can't stop)
on-line felting class of Corinna Nitschman

But
the month started with a long-desired wish :

solar panels

Our roof faces south-west, so why not !

Happy now !

The postman brought a long-expected package from Germany !

Some months ago I got a proposal for a swap

from a German blogging-friend, Heidi

a special pendant for her and a handmade stoneware bowl for me.!

I send her the pendant and patiently waited.

She needed some time to make the bowl ...

bring it to the kiln ...

then it was holiday-time ...

so she send it the end of August.

Ahhhhh, had a fright when it arrived : a big hole in the package ...

but luckily Heidi had packed it safely in two cartons !!!

phew !

Isn't that a beauty ?

Love the design she made of the flowers I could choose :

Fritillaria and Snowdrops !

And with it came a piece of her solar-dyed fabric !

SO happy with it all !

THANKS  HEIDI  !!!

And on went the making of felted shells

(I must confess : it starts to look like an addiction ...)

Two new spiral ones and an "old" one,

and two more "normal" shells, but forgot to take a picture.

And, to unlearn, another pair of wrist warmers.
