Castle of Costa Mesa had a booth displaying needle-felted Mermaid Kingdom, Fairy Tale Dolls, Wool Relief pictures and much more. See Castle of Costa Mesa Etsy shop here for some of the items.
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 girls appeared in the local newspaper! (you will need to click on the sheep shearing photo and scroll on to see the photos of the girls)
The children loved climbing and running around this 1,100 year old oak tree in bloom!
How I wished I could compost with 1,100 year old oak leaves, alas, there were no dropped oak leaves in spring.

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…
