Yes, I totally agree that it is probably best to wait for the cooler months as I certainly don't want you to injure yourself with a sharp needle. Your visiting bees are sure lucky to have you caring for them; you are not only the dwarf whisperer, but you are also the bee whisperer, too. Have fun with the bees and your hamily, and I will looking forward to seeing your gorgeous felting creations whenever you return to felting mode again, lol.
Zen's felting tribute was really amazing and truly touching; I'm glad that it gives you a sense of comfort being near it. Zen was such a special heart-ham and we all love and miss her so. Hugs to you, Cypher.
