Daughter Renee returned to Japan last week. We will miss her but hope she can visit again in May. So now there’s no excuse – back to work for me.

I’m entering a scarf competition where you receive a white paj silk scarf and embellish it how ever you like. Below: an experimental one I did to see how it would look. The competition scarf is bigger than this and I’ve decided to do it differently but I do intend to use yarns and cutouts in it.

Below: a few ATCs. Only the lower right one is very new – the others were done during the Ken Smith workshops to practise bobbin work and use scraps.
