Love being involved with our local community,  Cedar Cottage in East Vancouver.

Took a nuno/wet felting class with my friend, Brenda Stengel.  Ryan, from Knotty By Nature, showed us what to do.  He and his wife are the organizers for Fibrations, a fibre arts festival that takes place August 16, 2015 in Victoria, BC at the Fairfield Gonzales Community Place.  Up to 60 different all-things-fibre vendors sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm through demonstrations and hands-on-activities.  We will be there with fabric and kits.  Check out the fibre celebration!  Free nuno felting demos if you want to learn
