“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy,
and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
- William Arthur Ward

Today, we celebrate our gratitude for all that blesses our lives.
We are grateful for you, for your creativity and the brilliance you
bring to this wonderful and colorful life just by being you.

These adorable little monster soaps were needle felted
by Tammy Orthmann of Hastings, Nebraska.

She wet felted the soaps with Living Felt MC-1 Felting Batts
and then needle felted the designs on top.
They are so fun and have a ton of character!
Tammy even made the soap itself, so these bars are completely home made.

If you would like to make your own felted soap consider a Living Felt Merino Cross Goody Bag
and this Free Living Felt Felted Soaps Tutorial.

These felted soaps would make great stocking stuffers, or you could make a stocking stuffer
of soap and wool for an afternoon of felting fun!

From all of us at Living Felt,
we speak from our hearts and say,
Thank You.

Thank you for trusting in us, for sharing with us, and for showing us your brilliant,
creative spark. We are sincerely grateful to be doing this work, to be of service to you,
and to be facilitators in your creative journey.

We cherish the feeling of that moment in which we see the "spark" in another
spring to life with renewed excitement, self confidence and joy. Sometimes we are fortunate enough
to meet you in person, sometimes it is just by phone,
sometimes it is by email, and sometimes it is in the comments of your order...but we feel it all the same.
We work for this every day, and it is our sincere honor to do so.
Thank you for being part of our creative family.

As always, we wish you happy felting, and let us know
if you have any questions or need any support by emailing us at
[email protected]

With Love,
Marie
