I just love going to yard sales and estate sales and finding STUFF. I don't sell anything. I think I'm a hoarder. And I usually buy things because someday I might need it. When that time comes I can't find it. So off to buy more. I do make things but give them away. Now I'm onto sheet music ornaments.
I do use wool felt and I have a LQS that sells it but I mainly use 100% wool and felt it myself. I buy coats, skirts, blazers and even men's suit coats at the thrift stores. I've gotten long coats for $2 and you can't find a small piece of wool for that. It does take some time cutting the garments apart but it sure is worth it.
I've spent 60 years in New England weather and I'm glad I'm in Ohio. I get about 66 inches of snow but last year Cleveland got 88 but I'm not in that snow belt so I get less.
Dwina I hope your storm is winding down
Everyone have a great day
