“If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it
- through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself,
and the choices you make to express yourself."
- Victoria Moran

May you appreciate YOUR uniqueness this week...
your different way of seeing things, of coloring things and saying things...
The funny, special way you like to do things. Do that! Say that! Be that!

We love you JUST LIKE THAT.

Caroline Gray has a pretty amazing profession -- she creates
three dimensional illustration for greeting cards and children’s books.
She shared with us this fabulous little scene - supplies used
and a unique method for creating the lion's head.

As always, we wish you happy felting, and let us know
if you have any questions or need any support by emailing us at
customer service@livingfelt.com

With Love,
Marie

You will absolutely love how quickly and easily this merino-cross core wool needle felts!

We have specially sourced this fiber for its wonderful quality and supreme needle feltability!
We know you are going to love it as much as we do!
