Nov. 26th, Wednesday.  We went to our weekly homeschooling playgroup.  Our location was slightly different.  We went to Midway Lanes for an afternoon of Bowling.  Loud and highly distracting to say the least.  The kids had fun!  Expensive, too.  They really enjoyed themselves!

Besides fighting with yarn and needles to make socks, I have tried some lovely little projects with my needle felting.  Below are the pics of my little bendy doll and her dog.  Kristie Burns at earthschooling.com and waldorfschoolonline.com was lovely enough to give a video lesson on how to make felted bendy dolls to her [...]
