Feltmaking for door panels and Llanlidloes exhibition

Finally, builders and decorators all settled - one biomass fire burning away which makes Chess Cottage really toasty.  Decided that it was time to help folk who are not used to the wonderful darkness and near zero light pollution by making an optional door curtain to pop over the stable door.  Also thinking about buying a telescope as we are close to the Brecon Beacons National Park which as you probably know has been awarded International Dark Skies Status as an International Dark-Sky reserve  – one of only 5 in the world along with Exmoor National Park, Canada, New Zealand and Namibia. 
It's great to be back with my fingers in the fleece, ready to take to Felting in the Factory near Ross-on-Wye tomorrow to pop on a rolling machine.  I want to get this particularly fine ready to screen print with an image of our gorgeous ancient oak - a stunningly simple photograph I took last week.

Finally managed to extra the photo of the mystery fungus I found on a walk last week in our woodland - anyone know what it is - I can't find my fungi book at present - a great buddy who helped me with my library is jetting off to Australia today and I am at a loss as to know where it might have been located.
