My Grandiedaughter Lexie's class held a Colonial Day!
With Food, and Demonstrations....
The students did a wonderful job...
I had the great honor to join them!
we had fun learning about Spinning Flax and Wool,
and their preparation.
Mama Mousiekin is teaching Missy all about spinning.
Missy is doing a marvelous job carding
and preparing the wool for Mama to spin!
(the boys are just plain "playing" in the background)
