hi mama!
i'd be happy to felt with you sometime.
Soft Horizons Fibre right in town has roving & other fibers in stock..... not sure of their prices, may be able to find it cheaper online. it's been a while since I've bought some wool, but I'm running out of batting... will need to restock soon! I usually use wool batting (which is cheaper) for wool balls, dolls, and whatever else, and use nice colored roving for the outside.

hi Carrielou!

I wouldlove to felt with you. I want to get Lily into it, i think she'd really enjoy it. particularly making beads since her dad makes jewelry.

I'm thinking about going to the crafting group tomorrow see you there?

i couldn't make it today... had an appointment with my midwife... and no car.
oh well. next week, if the babe isn't here!??

lily would probably really enjoy felting, it's nice when the weather warms up- we can put out big tubs of foamy hot water and dunk wool in with our hands. lola likes to give her dolls a bath while i'm felting. fun!
