Based on a repost, people in actual Shropshire are seeing this. If you know who the yobs are who stole a French-registered van of geophysics gear, report them to the police. If you are those yobs, leave the van where the cops can find it. Where are you going to sell a LHD van and an ERT set?

This summer’s batch of needle felted and embroidered fruit. #needlefelting

An assortment of woollen fruit baubles, long pears, round apples and peaches and small knobbly strawberries, all arranged on an old flat dish with a wrinkled texture like a cabbage.

A tiny landscape drawn last night as the sun was setting. #shropshire#landscapeart#pleineair

A tiny sketchbook with pages held open in a hand in front of  a rolling summer landscape of lushly green leaves trees and ripe golden wheat fields.

A little needle felt order for Easter sent out today. Not sure if an old poison bottle was the best prop to use!

An old green straight sided bottle which has a small, lichen covered twig sticking out of the top. Hanging from the twig are two small pink eggs with pearl beads  studding them. In front of the vase is a pink woollen pig and to the right of the pig is a woollen model of a sitting baby hare with its ears laid back.

Today’s walk - cold air making the colours pop.

A winding country lane with tall bare branched oak trees lining one side and a clipped hedgerow on the other. It is a sunny winter day, with a cold light and bright coppery leaves against a clear blue sky.

Tonight’s makings. #needlefelt

A hand with a little woollen robin perched on top of the fingers, in a plain plaster walled cottage bedroom with an old dressing table in the background.
