Big day on the felt ranch


The birth and anticipated births of a few friends' babies had Jeannette and I felting up a storm this afternoon/evening.

While I took care of most of the wool-into-felt part of the operation, Jeannette did an excellent job turning my raw 'fabric' into three dimensional structures that look like baby booties.

Oh, and in case you're curious - I did the owl all by myself.  And maybe for the first time in my life I've shaped something that isn't a piece of furniture or bread so that it looks like I hoped it would look.

Maybe if I'd been given some wool and a felting needle instead of crayons and paper kindergarten wouldn't have been such a struggle?
