“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

-- Howard Thurman

Give to yourself today ... and give even more to yourself this week,
give time and space and permission to do what makes you come alive, and we promise,
you will not be neglecting anything more important,
and you will not be taking anything away from anyone else;

instead, YOU WILL BE GIVING THE WORLD MORE OF WHAT IT NEEDS AND LOVES:

More of a Joy-Filled, Inspired and Replenished YOU.

Afia Menke re-purposed left over felt pieces from a large wet felted quilt project
and created beautiful felted pouches.

The raw edges of the cut felt were blanket stitched with multi-colored yarns and each has a unique closure such as hand cut and colored leather,buffalo nickels, shells, beads and even an arrow head.

Afia's results are a great example that felt scraps can be used to make some pretty cool stuff! :)
