Loved this episode!

I just recently found your podcast on itunes and I LOVE it! I have always wanted to try felting and your show has now inspired me to get to it! Like I said I'm just starting to make my way through your shows so I may be leaving more comments (or questions) but keep up the GREAT work!

I loved it

Michele, I just tried the felted cuff and loved doing it. I am so glad I found you. I tell everyone about you and hope they get hooked also. Lots of good ideas in my head after doing this one.

Very nice!!! I was wondering

Very nice!!! I was wondering the other day a way to incorporate fibers to felt... what a timing!!! I also LOVE yo yos. Have used them various ways (I have to sit down and take some pictures!!!) and you can see 2 of them here if you wish (totally different from yours) http://starttoscrap.blogspot.com/2008/08/blog-post_05.html I like your podcast very much! Do it more often ;-)
