This is how it all began and I become a felting facilitator!
Heartfelt.
Heartfelt. Heart felted. Feeling heart. I don’t know about you, but these days, my heart has taken a bashing or two…hundred. The world has become so closed off, so remote, and so distant, that my heart sometimes feels like it shrunk three sizes. (My apologies to Dr. Seuss.) And that’s when I need to remind myself to refocus, redirect, and refill my heart. Often that is possible just by the simple act of needle felting a heart.

Even those of us who had been felting for years found her help to be invaluable in elevating our interpretations in the final products.
