Hi all, have you been waiting, wondering where my post is? I wish I could say it was because I was felting or playing with lambs, but in truth, I thought today was tomorrow. I will make you wait until the end to see the lambs.
I will start with my new bits for taking pictures. What I was looking for was an arm to attach to my tripod that would hold my camera. I could find expensive things for proper cameras, but nothing similar for a phone. I did find 2 very similar phone holders that would fit right onto the tripod. They do point down, but they do not stick out very far from the tripod.
This is what I have at the moment. It’s a light ring with a camera holder. I use it for Zoom. I don’t like the holder, it is hard to adjust it to level. The other thing is that it is too tall, two feet above where I am working. Not a great shot, but it wouldn’t show up against all the wool on the shelves
My tripod will go much shorter than this. And these are the 2 attachments for the phone. I haven’t had a moment to try them out, but I will report on them when I get a little time.
The other thing I bought was a stand that sticks out. It came with a light ring like the one above. The two gadgets above will stick screw onto it. This is the one I have the highest hope for. The angle is adjustable
Next are some things I picked up last weekend at a local village’s community garage sale. We only get to go to one garage sale a year. It’s the only one on before we start at the Farmers Market this Saturday. https://barrhavenfarmersmarket.com/
I only got a few things. First, I got a small hair straightener. That might seem strange as I have long, very straight hair, but I got it for ironing inside a book resist vessel. More on that when I try it out.
Next are some mini hanging Shapes. I’m not sure what you call them. I thought they would look nice with little felt plants in them, or I could make tiny pods and place them over the candles that came with them. They are about 4 inches/10 cm tall
Lastly, I picked up the long roll of interesting fibre. It is probably nylon. I will have to see if it will dye.
Now onto flowers. My apple tree is starting to flower, and the lilacs will be along soon.
And here are all the kinds of violets I have
And finally, what you have been waiting for, more lambs
And proud popa, Storm. Really, what he is wondering is why I don’t have treats.
That’s all for now.
