Felted Acorn Fun.

Outside the studio door the acorns are falling and covering the walkway

 with their delightful little caps. I have such vivid memories of acorn caps 

from childhood, a wooden baret for dolls or finger tips. Now I happily

harvest these windfalls for felting fun. And you can join me!
