Cactus anyone? Learning to make a felt one was fun at Lizzie's in Seymour

Shelton resident Kayleigh Mihalko, needle felter extraordinaire, describes the first step in creating a cactus out of wool fiber during a class Friday at Lizzie's Corner in Seymour.

The brown wool she is holding served as the "dirt" in a tiny terra cotta pot.

My daughter Allegra created this cactus.

Stay tuned for more photos in an upcoming edition of The Valley Voice newsletter.
