Hello everyone, It has been a while . Bob and I are in the process of moving from one beach house to another. I collect things. All my life collectibles are in this house . I have to log and label all the items and liquidate them . I am over whelmed by the task ahead. I have about 400 totes full of things .....

Felting Workshop

2009-02-28T15:41:00.001-05:00

This is my first post to my new blog!

What a way to spend a rainy day learning to felt with my friends, Julie and Carolyn. Our first project was a bunny. We learned to use the needle...we learned about wools...and we learned how to form the shapes. We were fortunate to view museum quality pieces created by our instructor...Melissa at Tail Spinners.
