Today Prune’s teacher was on strike, the whole school was closed and both girls stayed at home. Since I’d like to learn and make felt adornments for my art-yarns, I took this occasion and offered them to make felt beads for a necklace for Prune’s teacher. (not sure she’s the kind to wear necklaces, but [...]
This week I received my brand new Ashford hand carders. Of course I had to try them right away !! The first tries were not great : from looking on Youtube I see I wasn’t doing it properly, will watch some videos next time I try!!
