Just puttering around,

making things, dyeing silk

and getting ready for the upcoming fairs/holiday farmers' market this weekend.

Might go on a little adventure this afternoon,

but I'm still undecided...

Come out and PLAY!

A few of my newest nuno felted scarves...

They have come out to play.

The trees are quickly losing their beautiful golden leaves

so I am happy to have been able to get this photo shoot in last week with my friend Abi!

The colors do look amazing,

don't you think?

(P.S. I have put the first one in the shop, but the rest will have to wait until after my fair tomorrow...)

Flaxen and Shining

The woods around my house at the beginning of sunset, looking out from the front yard...

I can't believe how golden everything is.

It looks like the sun has woven its light into the body of each leaf

or like the trees are drinking in flaxen liquor up through each cambium layer and into its veins.

Shining out from within.

I have also been enjoying the mellifluous sound of birdsong as they fatten themselves up with seed at our window feeder.

They land on the chimes on the other side of the door waiting for their turn at feeder and when they jump off in excitement, they jangle the metal pipes into reverberation!

So peaceful and melodic!

P.S. I've noticed a little green light/orb in third and fourth photo.

Do you see it?

What do you suppose it could be... faeries at play?...
