Žiema ant nosies / Winter is coming soon

The first snow showed up yesterday. Time to prepare for the Winter!


It is very important to keep your feet warm, the best way to do that is to wear organic wool felt shoes . I made them of just sheared and carded rough Lithuanian sheep wool. They are very warm and massages the feet. An ankle of the shoes is knitted from the merino wool (also Lithuanian), which I spinned with my antique spinning wheel 

I've mentioned the first snow - here it is:

Snow covered my rose garden... My kids were making a snowman today:))) Beautiful Winter, but I will miss my roses and warmth. Thinking of that, I have made a wool felt wrist warmers which reminds of a pink rose petals. Batt for these warmers I made with my drum carder. I've mixed pink and white shades of different fibers. 50% softest merino wool, about 40% silk and a bit of ramie and bamboo fibers. Wrist warmers are warm, very thin, light and soft like a rose petals:

Now all my thoughts are going to concentrate on... Upcoming Christmas rush! Like a year ago, I will help Santa Clause to make warm wishes come true:) Here are the first signs - these warm beauties are preparing to fly to Japan:
