February Crafternoon: Needle Felting

Today the craft was needle felting. And to my knowledge only 2 of our crafters had done it before. It's the art of taking dyed wool and piercing it with a barbed needle to knot it up into the shape of your choice. Our crafters felted fruit, a carrot, a flower, a dragonfly, and a ball. The rhythmic motion of felting was relaxing and peaceful.



We lucked out in having a beautiful and warm spring-like day. Almost all of the kids spent their entire afternoon in the backyard in their imaginary worlds. They'd occasionally come in for a snack or to see what mom was up to, then they were out again.

We had a brand new crafter this month who was born in the middle of December. After a good snack from mom he fell asleep in a sling while mom felted some fruit.
