“Be kind whenever possible.
It is always possible."
- Dalai Lama

Our wish for you this week, is that you are incredibly kind to your Self.
It is amazing to remember, that how we are to others
is how we feel and are treating ourselves..and vice versa.
May you find space this week for total acceptance of yourself,
for your art and many creations, for your "way"
...let this be a week to first give that kindness to yourself
and then reflect it back to all you touch.

"Just had to send this in. This is my first needle felted hat.
I loved doing it! Looking forward to making many more. I used your hat kit with azul batt."

- Sheila Harden, Washington State

We love this "classic" and sophisticated hat ... made with the Needle Felting a Hat Kit

"I just had to share my first hat with you! It was made with the Black and Storm Grey merino cross batt.
2 Layers of Black and 2 of Storm Grey with needle felted leopard spots on the brim.
I plan to buy some foam to custom cut to create some different shaped crowns too. (more rounded etc.)
The merino cross batt was delightful to work with and made it easy to get such beautiful smooth results.
The quality of your products is superb and your service is beyond compare. Best service I've ever had. It blew me away.
Package arrived before I thought it would - better tan expected quality and shipping/handling was more than reasonable.
I look forward to making my my next order."

- C. Joppe of Portland, Oregon

You just GOTTA have one...right?

"My crocheted hats are so funky, they needed an equally psychedelic model head! Needle felted with my favorite Living Felt colors!"
~ Sandra Glover Clarke of Ontario, Canada
