We spotted some new arrivals when we looked over the paddock this morning.
Introducing Cajun and Bhuna (not sure which is which yet).
Well done Cardigan!
Community felting
August 10th, 2008 - Posted in crafts - by Sarah|
Yesterday I ran my first workshop in about 2 years. We are lucky enough to have our own community hall here and I volunteered to use it to run a felting day. 10 people made it along and only one had ever done any felting before but they all soon got into the swing of things.
A couple of people made pieces to sew into bags but most made table or wall hangings (although I did hear mention of one becoming a dog blanket!). The end results were just as varied as the personalities attending.
Everyone enjoyed themselves – most saying that they would be keen to have a another go and try something more complex. It was also a good opportunity for neighbours to spend time together and catch up without feeling the need to force conversation. After all the costs were taken care of we made $90 for the community hall fund and of course, everyone had something to take home too.
