Upcoming Classes:

Felt a wee lamb with Kristi O’Donnell

Saturday April 12th 10:30-12:30 Casey’s Crafts, Langley

I’m fresh home from the magical island of Ireland! While there I did needle felting and made a happy leprechaun and his wee lamb.

Join me for a fun needle felting class. Here you will learn to make a frame/armature for your wee lamb, build a basic body with moveable legs, head and tail, and apply the finishing touches.

Materials are provided. Bring your own felting needle and foam block if you have one. I will have them for you to use or purchase as well.

Cost for the class is $20 per person, payable a the door. Class size is limited to 8.

Call Casey’s Crafts to reserve your space: 360-321-0577

You can see my little lamb in person this month at Casey’s Crafts in the front display.
