I was very interested in your felt: I love it. I also wonder how magical feltmaking is : starting of with all the loose fibers ... (careful: don't breathe)and after wetting and rolling and (YES)throwing: ... MAGIC !<br />That book: we had a similar one here in Holland! <br />It's still great.Elshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599607935285683167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-24362806340641491072010-11-01T23:39:17.527+00:002010-11-01T23:39:17.527+00:00Great memories you brought back!

My mother would heat up a big bath sheet beside the fire before I went to bed at night and it would be my bed warmer so I could get to sleep. Oh the jolt of bare feet hitting that cold floor in the morning!! I used to get the hungries after I went to bed and my mother would make me a brown sugar sandwich (no wonder I have a lot of fillings in my teeth!!).Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-32022739340360731882010-11-01T16:46:59.327+00:002010-11-01T16:46:59.327+00:00Those leaf brooches are even more beautiful than t...Those leaf brooches are even more beautiful than the other brooches you've made.

Your creative leaps always fascinate me. <br />As for the 50's, I'm so tempted to look back with rosy glasses! However, your reminder about the cold brings me to my senses. I recall the ice on the windows all winter. No one had double insulated windows then. And the shower water could never be hot enough to beat off the chilly air in the bathroom. And of course,, no internet! How quickly that feature of modern life has changed my world, allowing me to get to know wonderful people like you! THAT could never have happened in the 50's.jeanette, mistress of longearshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/longears/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422137424280235275.post-14819971706373469152010-10-31T01:57:18.062+00:002010-10-31T01:57:18.062+00:00Your new felt is wonderful!!

I spent a weekend in Haworth once, it was lovely - I remember having the best Yorkshire pudding with gravy in a pub and it (the pudding) was the size of my head!
