From the Heart

I like to think that people can tell when something is made from the heart.  I hope they know that when I make something with my hands it's about a lot more than just whipping something together and trying to make a profit.

Take this little ballerina for instance.  I'm very new at felting but for some reason yesterday I just had a strong urge to create something new.  I put my kids to bed, poured a cup of tea and let my imagination come to life.

There's something so therapeutic about creation.  I'm sure it's not for everyone but for me it is.  The feeling of taking something as simple as wool or cotton and forming it into something entirely different.

I plan on making more of these little ballerinas because they make me smile.  I hope they make you smile too.  And thinking of the little girl who's about to get her as a gift for completing her dance classes makes me smile again.  Thank you to those of you who allow me to continue creating.
