Although my body is busy recovering and repairing itself, it seems my brain is enjoying the freedom!
I have so many ideas for 2026 including "box of....." collections and Acorn the tamworth piggy.

Spinal surgery done and all went well, although the disc was worse than the scans showed. I'm very very sleepy and they said that could last a few days, and the first 2 weeks I have to take things very slowly.

Adding and smoothing the base layer and little bits of highlight on my black chested buzzard eagle wool painting.
Next stage is starting to add the details of the feathers.
These are right up there as one of my favourite birds.

Sometimes you just need to make something that is extra cute, like a highland cow holding a penguin chick.

This year seems like a bumper year for fungi, so many species and abundance in the woodland.

I spent some time at the BärenPark in Bern yesterday morning.
The bears are preparing for hibernation, and it was lovely to watch them eating and snoozing.
I have lots of inspiration and ideas for artwork and projects going forward.

This has definitely been one of the hardest birds to create for my Wild Woolley Friends Collection.
After many hours surrounded by photos from every angle of Angola from the Hawk Conservancy, I've made a secretary bird.
Measuring 8m tall and made from 100% wool plus felt for the head feathers.

The perfect birthday.
A lovely day with Chris, a good swim, homemade brownie, raclette and wine.
It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed.

Pretty much my days and weeks right now and making the most of it.
When I get home, things all go a bit crazy busy with work and impending C5/C6 spinal surgery.

Morning, hope everyone is well.
This week, the decision was made that I would require surgery on my C5 vertebrae.
I am currently working on a big shop update for the end of Sept ahead of the surgery.
This will include the 1st batch of Christmas decorations and some new animals.

I've been asked a lot for pigeons, so I designed one based on the rock dove.
