Still working with yarn but using it as embroidery thread to embellish a straw hat I bought in a charity shop. Embroidery isn’t my strong point, but if you squint it doesn’t look too bad!Now it’s finished, it’s ready for some sunshine adventures. ✨🌿🌸☀️🌸🌿✨.

Look at these slices of woolly heaven ✨🐑✨from lovely Lora @spinjones …..a little self treat for me 😊. I was powerless to resist these little batts and they are even prettier ✨🧶✨ in real life. For now though they are pets, stroked and admired whilst I hatch a plan for them.
