We have school holidays coming up here quite soon. I’ve planned that I will do some creative things with my daughters then.<\/p>\n

The other night at the opening of the Stitch+Stitch=Magic exhibition I was talking with a lovely lady, Gail Davis, who had felted the background for her embroidery. I asked her a bit about felting, as its something that I’d like to try. We talked for a bit, and she mentioned that she recently felted with a 4 year old relative of hers. It made me think that it would be a great thing for me to do with my daughters during our upcoming holidays.<\/p>\n

She suggested a reasonably priced place to get wool tops for felting with – Virginia Farm Woolworks<\/a>. I checked out their prices compared to other places, and they did indeed seem very reasonably priced – about half the price of most other places.<\/p>\n

So on Tuesday I went onto their website and chose 4 different coloured wool tops, and rang them and ordered them.

\nThey arrived yesterday (the next day) which is great service! I was so pleased with the yummy colours, and the wool is so soft! I’m keeping it all a surprise for my girls for now, but I think we’re going to have fun being creative and getting wet!<\/p>\n

I’m also trying to justify why I should give it a go before I try it with the girls. Surely I need to have tried and understood the process before trying to do it with others?! (If you’re having trouble reading between the lines, I just can’t wait to give it a go!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
