Another sunny but cool day in Blonduos, went for a walk after lunch, I strayed off towards the ocean but the wind was blowing pretty swiftly and I rather quickly changed my plans, I will go check out what has blown in to shore another day. I went to the grocery store to pick up some wool yarn. Yes, it is true what you may have heard all grocery stores in Iceland have a good supply of yarn. It is hard to imagine but true.  I needed some black yarn as I have made a two sea urchin and needed black to accent their “eyes”. Plus some mauve jumped into my hand. I also wanted to buy some tuna but not sure if it is packed in water or oil, I guess I will find out when I open the tin.

I cut open the marble piece today and it looks pretty good and here are the starfish.  I am not sure if they will make the final cut for my submission but they have got me rolling on ideas  I completed 1 spiky sea urchin today, he is still drying, I have 2 more covered but not wet felted and three more on the design table waiting for a design plan.  One is going to have lots of spikes but not sure what the other two want to be when they grow up.  I also got started on some hollow coral tubes, I would like to get 10 done, I have 5 done and grew bored so will get 5 more made tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will get to meet all of the staff of the Textile Centre and get a tour around town.  It was a national holiday when we arrived and so far we have met a couple of people but don’t really have the big picture of how this building is run and who fits in where.  There is a Textile Museum next door that does not open until June and I am hoping that we can get a chance for a tour it before we go.

That’s it for me tonight, thanks for reading.
