I came to love felt several years ago when I participated in a DIY craft exchange. I made ornaments for each recipient using wool felt. I enjoyed making them so much I began making other items from felt. After I got engaged I fell in love with the idea of making felt flowers for my bouquet and centerpieces. I spent the summer cutting flowers with my Sizzix and sewing them together. My bouquet and centerpieces turned out beautifully. Plus, I will have my bouquet forever- how cool is that? I started playing around with making my own patterns. I designed my own owl ornament, made a few, opened an Etsy shop and listed them. I decided to run an ad and within an hour I had sold my first owl! I shared my success on my personal Facebook page and within a week, three friends asked if I could make them ornaments.

The excitement of those initial sales fueled my creativity. I began making baby mobiles, fairy wands, magnets, keychains, and hair clips. I still make owl ornaments but my passion has shifted to felt flower bouquets.

It feels good making these little felt treasures for people to enjoy and it makes me happy that people enjoy my work.
