"Think thoughts that make you feel good, make choices that make you feel good,
and take actions that make you feel good."
~Louise L. Hay

Our wish for you this week is that you keep turning towards your good,
keep doing things you enjoy and keep envisioning things that inspire you.
You deserve to feel good.

More wild and wooly felts from our friend, Steph Laberis in San Francisco, CA

"Trying something new! I am starting a small series of fledgling birdies called Fledgies.
Here's a cockatoo! I used core wool, MC-1 batting, bleached peacock feathers, paper clay and paper mache."

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

Danielle Dubois has a gift for crafting simple, yet comically adorable little beings.
Her collection of animals is perfect for our barnyard/farm/Americana focus this week,
and we are especially enamored with them because they lovingly call us back
to our youth of playing with Weebles.

See more of Danielle's fun creations on the blog this week.

Nancy Garland of Mayfield, KY needle felted this cute owl
for a baby shower diaper cake. It stands 6.5" tall and is 12" from wing tip to wing tip.

"I just started needle felting two months ago and I'm addicted.
I have made 30 purses now with this peacock feather Lucy purse my latest.
Thanks for your FAST professional service, great 'how to' instructions, and little quotes from time to time.
I do calligraphy too so these quotes come in handy."
