A great time was had by all at our Adult and Teen Felting workshop
Our evening was full of fun and color! The library fundraiser with teens and adults was creative and busy, but most importantly brought in some needed funds and was full giggles!!! The members made what their hearts desired: a polka-dotted lizard, a yellow banana slug, food for the shopping stand, a sprinkled doughnut, bracelets and hair bands, a mysterious unicorn and even a sweet mouse!…..
Many thanks to Julie for a great evening – if you want to know more about Julie’s felting check out her website. http://www.license-to-thrill.biz/
