Fourth of July Celebrations

My daughter Arianne Baadsgaard Cope
is an amazing fiber arts specialist
who volunteers at the  Colonial Days Celebration.
Here she is demonstrating spinning.
She uses various fibers such as the wool from sheep or the fluff from her bunny to spin.
She also takes the skeins she completes on a the spinning wheel and weaves on her loom to fashion a variety of wares.
She lovingly keeps alive the skills of her ancestors.
Below are her beautiful children enjoying the whole experience.
