Wooly Caterpillars And Wool Applique...


Wooly Caterpillar - ThreeSheepStudio.com

August is quietly slipping away...
as September makes her 
much awaited arrival.
  
The trees in our back lawn
are slowly starting 
to drop the occasional leaf...
you will miss it
if you aren't watching.

My husband is a road cyclist.
(as in bicycle)
He rides 80-100 miles a week.
The last few weeks, he has been
telling me the sun is different.
The smells are more pungent and
there are grasshoppers everywhere.
The farmers are beginning to take down crops.
Wooly caterpillars are beginning to cross
the roads.  There is a folk tale
that predicts the severity of the winter
by whether the wooly is black with a copper stripe
or copper with a black stripe.
(I don't care what they predict,
I just love to see their arrival !)




Wool and Perle Cotton - ThreeSheepStudio.com

The wool is out with threads to match.




Valdani Perle Cotton - ThreeSheepStudio.com
 Eye Candy !

Valdani Perle Cotton Thread and 
various sewing needfuls
are arriving every few days.
I am 'over the moon' when a new package 
awaits on my porch stoop !




Wool Applique by Rose Clay at ThreeSheepStudio.com

I've been working on some wool applique
in yummy pumpkin and golden shades.
I have a little twist to add to this applique...
check back this week to see !

Spending the afternoon 
in my 'nest' of sewing...
