Felting With a Five Year Old

Our internet connection at the campground has been pathetic! Hit or miss most of the time. Thank goodness for relatives even if they are over an hour away from where we are staying. AND I did have some awesome lobster for lunch!! Worth the trip.

Now to back track: I did some felting with Gale, my five year old granddaughter last week. We used the felt I purchased at the Lunenberg Makery (see previous post). She did a great job. I forgot to take a photo of the finished piece but will post it next time.

She certainly enjoyed pulling the wool roving apart and stepping on the pedal of the felting machine. She wants to do some more this week in between swimming and going to the playground!

The Lunenburg Makery

Yesterday, I made a visit to The Lunenburg Makery here in Nova Scotia. I was also there last summer. Check HERE for my previous post about this shop. Of course, I did make a purchase of wool roving to use in my work. Aren't the colours gorgeous! These felt up beautifully. Since I brought my felting machine with me this year, I will be using them soon.

We also had unexpected visitors to the Motor Home.
