Weaving Class with My Young Posse

Six of the kids in the neighborhood have adopted me and have been learning to weave using the looms. Five have completed at least one project and in addition to weaving we have made cookies and decorated some Christmas Tree cookies.

Here's a compilation slide show of our fun together:
