I cleared out of the hut last night / this morning after a really successful week. The commission came good with a deposit paid yesterday and fortunately it’s for a Little Egret in the water so something I’m reasonably sure I can do! Now I have to start thinking about the next thing: a solo exhibition at a very nice little gallery in Whitstable in less than 2 weeks. More upmarket than the beach hut so I will have to be on best form and behaviour! fishslabgallery.co.uk/exhibition/lindsay-wilkinson-kent-coast-in-felt-and-photographs/

Good luck! Didn't do any felting, but I did find the scissors and cut in my first and only felted dress. Bittersweet! It's been up-cycled as seating pads (yup, that thick - no wonder I was unable to wear it!). Nice to know that the felt finally gets a purpose. I'm also ordering a few things today so that I can continue on the skirt.

Always good to upcycle felt you aren't happy with. How's the skirt coming along?

I’m not good at re-purposing so have bags and bags of offcuts & failed projects lurking about making me feel bad. I do chop up white, beige, brown & grey bits to make pebbles but everything else lurks!

I made an A5 book the other day, will try and post a pic later. I am running out of my scraps which is a shame!

I’ve just bought a load of notebooks so I’d be interested to see your pic, Tracey. It would help if I spent a while sorting them all out but there always seems to be something more interesting to do!
