Weaving Cloth
Hello, Welcome back to our blog. We are all fired up and ready to get stuck into lots of projects for 2024.
I hope you will find items of interest and inspiration here on our blog as well as over on the
Woollen Tree You Tube channel.
We have enjoyed the Christmas/New Year break. It has been lovely to ease up a little after such a busy 2023. Time with family and friends, time to re energize. I have spent January playing and experimenting in the studio, doing a bit of sewing and busy weaving cloth for myself and the home.
Pete has been busy building better storage in his own workshop as well as in my studio.

We are back to it now and all set for more in 2024
Weaving, spinning, knitting, wood turning, dyeing and running workshops and open days.
Our garden is showing signs of Spring and we can't wait to get started on the growing year.
Our dear Hillside Cottage has had a fresh coat of exterior paint and looks beautiful and happy.
Heritage White.
So we do hope you will join us for 2024. We will be stocking the online shops over the coming weeks and opening up dates for workshops again.
Our blog for 2024 will feature our country lifestyle, growing the garden and designing our home, along with sharing our love and joy of working in our chosen crafts in wood and wool.
We love our cottage life here, it isn't always rosy, things can be challenging as with everyone's lives.
Our workload is full of plumbing, fixing things up. The cottage needs attention and we are slowly doing up the place.
We have a good garden and we are working to be as self sufficient in fruit/veg as possible.
It is very special here, we have magnificent views, wonderful hills and woodlands surround us, a land steeped in history and dark skies at night filled with stars.
Hillside is home and it is magical.
