My daughter Nunu, 11 and her dear friend Anicka, 10 were busy helping me teach visitors to needle-felt. I managed to take only a few photos. Here are a pair of sisters who made their first needle-felted bunnies that day with us.

The 1,100 oak tree was in blossom, it was powerful.

 

Our one-thousand-year-old oak tree has a tendency to look as though it is feeling sorry for itself. Not so today; there…
