Icy roads and sidewalks, remnants of Thursday’s storm, prevented some members from attending the meeting. Still, we had 5 new people join.
A few of the members had participated in the boy scouts demo in the morning, we waited for them to arrive before starting the business part of the meeting. Here is a photo from the demo at the mall… more will be in the newsletter and /or at the next meeting.
Members had a lot to share for the show and tell part of the meeting.
The ‘library’ is up and running, some interesting things already donated and ready to be checked out.
The needle felting workshop was a fun activity. Those that participated quickly learned a few techniques and were soon working on their own creations. The participants started out with a simple project, an egg so they would learn the best way to roll the fiber tightly to avoid excess jabs with the needles. From there they went on to small critters and then on to their own ideas. Below is a photo of the eggs and first critters… members are asked to bring any other creations to the next meeting so they can share what they learned and we can take photos.
Several members had expressed a desire to participate in the workshop and were unable to come due to the weather. Needle felting supplies will be at the March meeting and needle felting help will be available for those that missed the workshop or those that want some help with working on more complicated pieces.
