Well this seems bonkers we are already a quarter of the way through YOP16!  So it is time for a snapshot of what I have achieved on my list so far.

In summary, I have finished 5 wet felted items, 5 handspinning projects, 2 knitted items, 1 woven piece and 2 sewn items. 

Actually better than I thought!  This is why these snapshots are handy for me, my memory is pretty poor and if asked I would have forgotten some of these things.

One of my lampshades I put in the gallery sold during August, so that is comforting to know there are still people interested after 2 years absence.

We have spent the last 11 nights in Ireland, briefly in Northern Ireland, then across the border to visit County Wicklow and then a week in west County Cork.  I am sure on my travel blog I will write a post on our travels.

The snapshot below is mostly for my own purpose, so feel free to finish reading here.
