Last Saturday when the shop was closed I was in Oban presenting a needle felting workshop to The Grocery Girls as part of their Scotland tour. They produced some amazing work and were so creative. This Workshop followed on from TJFrog (Tania's) workshop where the group made lovely Dorset Buttons. Well done ladies and I hope your ongoing travels are safe and enjoyable!
