All about life on the edge of Europe on the Island of Whisky ..Islay #fbpe #followbackclimate
I spin, felt and crochet my way through life
A bit of pre #newyear #wetfelting on a ball. Using local #islay fleeces and silk hankerchiefs I have a new light for my hall table. #handmade and #sustainable

Morning from a chilly #islay .. a beautiful sunrise, and if you look closely, the sliver of a new moon

Busy making #felted soaps from local fleeces and silk. If we want a sustainable future we need to use all the resources we have around us. British wool is undervalued and shamefully almost worthless according to the buyers. #wool #handmade

The Met office really got thr weather wrong today.. supposedly we were to have gusts of 38mph. The current arrangement of my roof tiles tells me this was incorrect 😤..
