Spring 2019
Allen and I spent the Passover holiday with our daughter, Zlati, grandchildren Chaya Nessa, Yaakov Zev, Devorah who is new mom and her husband Zvi. Before we flew to visit them I asked Chaya Nessa, now 16 years old, if she would like me to bring some needle felting and weaving for her to do. She said YES. Below are pictures of her learning how to “Needle Felt a Teddy Bear”.
