Sleepover!!!!!!!!

Yesterday i went to a sleepover on a ffarm, it was so much fun!!!!!!!!
gwenllian and me went to a very, very, very little river ( I dont know what it is in english, so please comment!!!), and we had a small picnic on a low branch beside it.
We went to see the little cows ( I dont know what that is in english, either!!!!!!!)
they had no teeth, so we had plastic gloves on and the little cows came towards us and sucked our fingers!!!!! SOOOOO cute!!!!
we went to see the milking to. i'm sorry I brought no pictures!!!!!!
We played the wii ( wii play and mario kart), and we watched mama mia while eating marshmallows, vinto lollies, aero choclate and drinking fanta.
we talked and went to sleep at 1:30.
in the morning I had butter on toast while the others had ( Gwenllian has a sister called angharad, shes going into year 8, and she had a friend called megan over)pa au choclat ( or choclate crossiant).

How to make felt...

sorry about that!!!!!!
anyway im mared.
im 10, and i live in carmarthen.
simple!
Today we went to leekes to get a thing that hold the curtain back for the curtains in the living room.
we went to a art lesson to. An artist called Lynn Blake john teaches us ( me and my sister, Catrin, she's 7). We made felt. It's really interesting, seriously!!!!
first you put a big plastic bag on the table to protect it. Then you place a bamboo mat on it ( that means, if you have it, try using the ones you use on a beach). Then a peice of bubble rap on the bamboo mat. then a big peice of netting and place it down on the bubble wrap.
Now all you need is wool. Different colours if you like!!!!!
OK, pull long peices of wool ( not to long though, make sure its not bigger than the netting!), and place it going vertically. do this lots of times. and make sure its no biggger, taller or wider than the netting, and place them squashed up.
after that, do the same thin but horizontially. make it the same size as the vertical, so it looks like a EVEN square.
then do it vertically again. make sure it looks like an even square, with no sticky out bits.
then, wrap the netting araund it, but not bendingthe wool or anything.
then poor hot water on it, but not to hot. then rub soap on it, every bit of it.
then wrap the bubble wrap around ti, get a rolling pin and roll ( with the rolling pin) the bamboo bit around it.
then, start rolling it, very quick. its not actually rolling, its like your hands are jumping on it, and rolling them just an inch. do this for 5 mins or so.
then check if the wool is sticking or not. If it is, unstick it from the net gently, an dnoo wyou have your felt!!!!!!!
To make it more interesting, try adding bits of thread or wool or something to it before wetting it.
Thankyou for reading!!!!!
