So Skype is amazing. If anyone has friends or family a distance away, get yourself a web cam and video chat with your loved one. This is probably the one thing that has saved me when I have been feeling homesick after we moved.
My mom is super lucky and has a felting store close to where she lives. The last month or so, she has been going to different classes on Saturdays and has felted all sorts of things. (Some of her creations are on older posts here on the Watering Can.) I, being in Rifle, was of course jealous that I can not go with her to any of these classes. Felting is something I have always wanted to learn how to do.
I got a little package from my mom in the mail the other day will all the materials and a little note saying we would felt together via Skype this weekend. Here is a quick video of how we had a little craft date 400 miles apart.
Thanks mom!
It was so good to spend some time with you this morning. I can't wait to see what creations you'll be coming up with using your new felting skill! Next time you decide to record our lesson I'll have to get all gussied up - at least do my nails or something! Love You!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are nerdy felters. How amazing to do this live together! I enjoyed watching the short clip!
ReplyDeleteNerdy? Coming from the woman who writes posts about Colon Blow and Toity Doilies? :) It was fun to do. Next time we record, I will try to remember to brush my hair.
ReplyDeleteLOL - It was fun - and next time Cindy we'll invite you to watch since you can't really felt - the wool wouldn't be good for you. I told Lindsay we should do a little cooking video so you could show us some of your culinary tricks!
