There everywhere- but ohhh so elusive.
Yesterday Claude and I went out for an acorn hunt. I'd flat ran out of acorn tops to fill all the orders I'd taken for these little nuts, so the big nut and I drove around for over a hour before we found a cluster of big oaks which bore enough fruit. It was a slightly ridiculous scene- Claude in a
sling with a blanket wrapped around us to keep him warm and asleep- me bending and holding, and nearly falling over trying to keep the blanket in place, gather the nuts, and straining on my unfit legs- up and down- up and down. Sometimes I curse my disdain for the car seat- really would it have been that hard to just carry him around in that??? apparently- yes.
So now back in the studio... I'm working away. Some orders have been sent out with acorns, and I have a few more to go. Nut Nut Nut.... repeat.
I took the last batch of boxes to the post office this morning- phew, that took far longer than I'd anticipated- so sorry for the delay everyone! No that they're all out, keep an eye out for your little box of joy which should arrive by the end of the week.
I've been doing a lot of hand dying lately... some felt, some yarn. The organic process is time consuming but so pleasurable. I just keep adding dye to the bath to change the hue until I'm pleased...
