Pumpkins With Attitude!






Well folks, Sunday we had a class at Maybelle Farm...Pumpkins with attitude. What a blast this was. The class learned how to make needle felted pumpkins with fun faces. Thanks to Kathleen, our eyes got a wonderful lash overhaul:) This was a buddy class, so the kids brought their 'buddies' with them to craft together. Hey, those that play together, stay together!

Vt Sheep and Wool...plus some.....

Well, well. What a wonderful time I had. The sheep and wool festival was a super day for me. I went with 2 good fiber friends....and we encouraged each other to buy, buy, buy. lol Half of a icelandic baby fleece came home with me...oooh so yummy. It is a tawny fawn color. That was the highlight... There were also some cotswold locks that found their way into my bag. Hum. Too many other things to mention.

Kathleen and I took a nuno felting class. Just curious how others teach and what their techniques were. Very interesting to say the least. We ended up with wonderful felted scarves.

Also, yesterday, Monday, I taught another class at Maybelle Farm. I think there are 2 little girls addicted to spinning now! They were the best and quickest learning little spinners ever. AND they loved it. One was just becoming one with the wheel and stated that she 'has to get one of these things'. It was so cool to watch. They just picked it up like kids in a candy shop.

Hopefully pics will follow......

And, I am working on a winter schedule...stay tuned. LOTS of new things and a new venue too!
