Woolly Witches!

The past two Saturdays have been super busy at the store, filled with felting and Halloween preparations. Our first felting workshops of the season went fabulously, with witches and notebook covers coming out wonderfully!

Last Saturday Robin taught our kickoff class of the season, guiding felters through the process of making their notebook covers using sheets of wool felt and roving. Some people chose to make spooky fall scenes, while others made colorful pictures from their imaginations! There was even a mermaid!

Yesterday, Maria taught her very first felting class (hooray!) and filled our store full of woolly little witches of all shapes and sizes. Workshops have been incredibly popular this year, with our sign up lists already reaching capacity for some weekends...that means all the more reason to call ahead and reserve a space! Still to come in October are felted pumpkins, ghosts and a felted snowman!

We are also getting pretty excited for the conclusion of Faber-Castell's Dream Castle contest (we can't wait to find out the winners!), and of course for the most imaginative holiday of all: Halloween! More and more costumes and masks have been coming in every day--none of us can decide what we're going to dress up as yet, but we are sure having fun trying on all kinds of different disguises!
