Finally a Sheep Workshop! Plus Mini "How to" Needle Felting Videos, Celebrations and New Workshop Dates
Finally a Sheep Workshop!
There have been many requests, so for those of you who cannot wait any longer I have decided to run one at my Home Studio in Halls Head! Maximum number of participants is just four, minimum two, so get in fast! If you are totally new to needle felting, this is not for you, you will have needed to have done at least a little needle felting before. I may be able to make myself available for a short 2-hour Introduction course at my home Studio beforehand if a couple of people are interested - email me: connect@sheeptoshore.au
Book on my website: www.sheeptoshore.au/events
I have decided to run them on two consecutive Tuesday mornings, September 9th and 16th. Cost is $125 per person for the two mornings (7 hours including morning tea), plus either $10 for materials or $30 for a kit and materials, payable on the day. This is great value for such a small group, and two sessions. You will create an approximately 10cm x 12cm sheep. It includes how to make the body parts, join them together and some more challenging details including the face, attaching the fleece and soft ears! Looking forward to hearing from you!
🎉 Celebrating Daisies & Gumnuts and Christmas in July Workshops at Pinjarra Arts Hub
This month at Pinjarra Arts Hub, Edenvale, we experienced the joy of creativity with two fun workshops: Daisies & Gumnuts and Christmas in July, where participants created gorgeous daisies and gumnut flowers, Christmas garlands and baubles. Both sessions were full, filled with friendly chatter, plenty of laughs, and a "sea" of spectacular results. Watching everyone’s creativity bloom made the chilly July days feel warm and festive!

What interests me about supporting the move into secondary school is how a broad idea becomes part of an ordinary day. New routines can take time to become familiar even when a student enjoys the lessons. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about secondary school transition. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. Which parts of the school day need the clearest introduction for new students?
What draws my attention to finding your way around Polish businesses is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. Clear descriptions help readers distinguish what a business does from the language used to advertise it. It makes me curious about the practical side of Polish business information. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. Which details matter most when comparing unfamiliar local businesses?
A conversation about planning the next step in graduate education seems most useful to me when it leaves space for uncertainty and further questions. A clear research interest can make a programme comparison more meaningful than a list of rankings. It makes me curious about the practical side of graduate study planning. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. What would help you decide whether a programme fits your learning goals?
There is something approachable about discussing discovering the cultural heritage of Lusatia through situations people can actually picture. Language and local stories can reveal connections that are easy to miss on a map. That is the kind of detail I would keep in mind while exploring Lusatian cultural heritage. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. How would you introduce regional heritage through a classroom project?
Considering learning local history through school projects, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Family memories and public records can offer different perspectives on the same place. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about Przyglow history projects. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. How could students compare these sources while respecting what each can show?
