Lavender Class at Los Poblanos

What a day we had at Los Poblanos!
We made nests from fresh-cut sprigs of lavender and then stitched tiny felt birds and filled 'em up with dried lavender from the farm.
The room smelled fanTAStic!

Here's the group at the table
We had a great time together!

starting the nest - weaving over and under
And, once the nests were done, we started on the birds
Everyone had such wonderful imagination.
The birds that evolved were delightful!
.....and sitting in their nests.....
cute!

Oolie and me as the day was ending
We had a really nice time.

Thanks to all of the people who attended.
It was a pleasure to meet you all!

Jone is teaching a class on making her bracelet in August at L.P. that I think I must attend!
