Have you ever had those days where you enjoyed getting your mail? I mean we are used to getting bills and a bunch of junk that we never really look at...not too exciting there. Well, yesterday was a fabulous mail day for me. First, I received my Peace Felt from Anne-Marie in the Netherlands. I am absolutely in love with the piece! She represented the land and sky with the panel and added a ring of flowers.
The next wonderful piece of mail was over 3 pounds of raw romney wool from a farm in Michigan. I have finally gotten enough courage up to try to clean my own. I REALLY want to make a small rug from the wool. I ordered it from Oak Willow Farm on Etsy. Wonderful service-check them out!
And finally. I received an awesome market bag I ordered from Beth's Market Bags, also on Etsy. If you are a fan of oilcloth, then you will love her bags. I was so happy with my purchase that as soon as I opened it, I ordered another one! I do have to say I cannot remember a time where I was so excited to receive mail! Well enough rambling from me, I hope you have a wonderful day!

It is nice to get real stuff in the mail, isn't it? I got a big order from Wollknoll in Germany and it had my first hat block and 4 kilos of wool and silk chiffon for more scarves. Lots of stuff to play with! I haven't cleaned wool before--how do you do it?
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the draw backs of trying to dye my own fiber now....less packages to look forward to from Etsy dyers . I swear I get more excited when a package arrived then I ever did at Christmas as a kid .
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your washing....I've only done it once and swore I would never do it again but I think it was more from all the VM I had to pick out then the washing .
