mitten weather and a much loved bag

Last year when I was in Austria I visited the Geiger factory and brought home some ends of their wonderful boiled wool. I had made one pink pair, but this week have been also working with the turquoise, navy and moss. The Geiger wool is the most beautiful I have worked with. It is like velvet. And they are great with shearling. I’ve also made a jumper out of the navy–and will show you once my model visits.

And I had to share this photograph of a much loved birdbrain bag. A friend visited today with her bag which has been in daily use for three years plus. And it is still going forward–a testament to real leather and craftsmanship.
