Thank you so much for posting this Nicole! I was thinking of doing some very basic wet felting with my 4-6-year-old students using cookie cutters as molds.

These were some videos I plan to mimic:

Would you still recommend the same type of wool for these projects?

Do you think they could add some embroidered details to these felted shapes fairly easily?

I am interested in doing some small 3 dimensional animals that they could use as toys… it looks like needle felting might be better for that?

I have been embracing my waves/curls. I really enjoy making/using homemade flaxseed gel better than products I’ve purchased at the store. A simple search should lead you to videos or write ups about flaxseed hair gel. I boiled 1/4 cup of whole flaxseeds in 2 cups of water for about 10 minutes (stirred consistently) and then strained the seeds from the gel. Next time, I will try the no cook soaking method to make the gel.

I love the gentle hold and natural feel of the curls with the flaxseed gel.

We want pictures! (Well, I should clarify, I’d love to see pictures.)

My mom liked rescuing animals, even tarantulas, so they wouldn’t get run over by cars on the country roads.

Perhaps I should include “what things do you rarely or no longer buy now that you’re 40?”

“What things do you no longer do or do now that you’re 40?”

How freeing to not succumb to the societal pressures of purchasing odd things approaching 40! Go you!

I’m not usually an impulse buyer or big splurger on myself but after some research using the Yuka app and YouTube, I treated myself a Mad Hippie sale. So far the skincare experience has been quite lovely.
