And oh my what a beautiful flock of crafters arrived this morning for our Easter themed needlefelting workshop!
Our morning began with
decorating Easter eggs followed by needlefelting some tiny birds to be homed in felted nests.

| Tiny birds in nest |
Once
fully warmed up and having enjoyed homemade cake and coffee, we sculpted birds
on wire legs and before we knew it, Mistletoe Cottage had become a real nature
reserve and home to some very rare breeds!!!!!!! Super cute and a complete
antidote to the busy world around us.

| Cheryl-Ann's colourfull pheasant |
 |
| Rebecca's floral birdy "tweet tweet" |
 |
| Some of the nature reserve, some were camera shy and flew away! |
Our session finished with sculpting bunny
keyrings, using pipe cleaners as our base. A joyful morning with a buzz of chat
and industry - we all agreed it was a great way to welcome spring and prompt us
all to start planning our Easter trees.
Coming up at Mistletoe we're looking forward to welcoming a group
of homeschoolers who shall be learning crochet next week with the aim of making
some Easter baskets where quite possibly the Easter Hare may pay a visit!
Don't forget we're happy to run workshops for "ready-made" groups: a friend's birthday perhaps, a civilised hen party or exam stress busting!!!!!!!!! Minimum number in group 8. Book for 10+ and one comes free. Contact either Dianne or Jacqueline to book and to discuss your options.
