Basic Needle Felting at
Home Ec Workshop, Oct 10th

I had eight wonderful students for this workshop event. My youngest was 10 years old! Everyone worked very hard in the hour and a half allotted for this class. For those of you whou felt, knit or work on any crafty project, you know 1.5 hours is not a lot of time. It seems you just get started when it is time to clean up.

Here is a great shot of Mai Ling neeedle felting for the first time. You can see Home Ec Workshop in the background. John is sitting on the couch.

Here, Penny is working on her project.

A lovely star for her Christmas tree. Mai Ling's finished bird, and a cute little felted ring.

Home Ec is a delightful, comfortable space to work, socialize and make friends. Last night, even though they were closed for business, there were many people hanging out and working. With my class folks there it was like a little party. If you are ever in Iowa City, I recommend visiting Cody and Alissa at Home Ec Workshop. Here is a shot of the class working.

Up to my Eyeballs

I feel like I am lost under a sea of wool roving. I am trying to build up a supply for back-to-school and the holiday season. I have never felted so much in my life! I am seriously considering wet felting large swatches, or getting a machine to felt the base color of my pieces. I don't want to mass produce, but I cannot seem to produce enough on my own.

On another note, I am teaching 7th & 8th graders to sew pamphlets tomorrow. Yay!
