It is a lovely April morning. (Does anyone remember the book entitled April Morning?  It was a fictional account of a colonial battle in New England.  Such a wonderful book.) 
Seems as though it is going to rain today. The air is soft and still. It has a damp quality to it. The wisteria has blooms on it already.  There are two different kinds about my little place.  I think the one on the porch is "Chinese" and I do not remember the type of the other one!  They have different looks to their leaves, their blossoms and their scent.  Can anyone tell me which is which?

daffodil cake



felted this cloth ,then cut and sewed it into a jacket. It reminded me of a cake an old friend used to make.. it was an angel food type of cake called a "Daffodil Cake"

The fabric was made of marino prefelt 19 micron, silk hankies, bombyx silk threads and merino roving. I cut the pattern so that the edges of the fabric would be featured. Living Felt approved!
