• New Felted Necklace Starts

  

  I just finished felting these two necklace starts. Next I will figure it out how I want to decorate them. So fun to be creative– learning to felt in new ways.

• New flyer for the workshop at the ranch

  Jennifer, the owner of the Alpaca Ranch, suggested a flyer with more color; and my daughter Melanie suggested more photos of workshops on the flyer, so I came up with this.  I like this flyer better with the white background because the lettering is easier to read.  The flyer may not be as “pretty”, but…

• Fun and Productive Workshop Yesterday

  On Dec. 8, we had a workshop with Eileen and MaryJo.  MaryJo chose red merino and silk 50/50 blend, which, when dry, will be super soft and have gorgeous texture.  I wish I could have taken a photo when the red wrap was dry, but that usually takes overnight, and my workshops don’t last that…
