“Pursue your passions.
And remember, the reward is in the process, not the prize.”
– Marie Spaulding

If you pay attention, you will find more along the
way there, than you ever will at finish line...
and most of what you find was within you all along.

Chris Armstrong of Nashville, Tennessee is one of our mutual felting friends.
He came to discover needle felting when his daughter was in Waldorf; now that she is in college and he is looking at retirement, he has rediscovered the craft.

See more of his wonderful story book
characters on the Felting Friends Blog this week!

Marie
