Happy July! Wow...I guess it's time to get going on those Christmas gifts! I am still enjoying the summer, even though our summer months seem to get shorter and shorter each year!

Kids just got out of school, July 4th is right around the corner and then it's September! Oh, yes...August is in there as well. Let's not forget August. August 17th is the day Heart2Heart Knitting & Fiber Arts will celebrate 4 years!  These last 4 have been so amazing thanks to each and everyone of you! Because of our wonderful customers, you have allowed us to build a business we love, and for that, we can't thank you enough. 

Recently Mike and I had the chance to jump on his Goldwing motorcycle and head up to Copalis Beach for a few days.  We found out that freinds of ours owned a couple of restraunts up there.  It was great to let loose and have some fun for a few days.   I know the shop is in great hands wtih  Cindy and Mary.  On that note, I would say that if you have the chance to get away for a few days, or even stay home and unplug for a couple days, do it.
It is so refreshing and recharging!

We hope you have a safe, happy and fun 4th!

Lisa, Cindy & Mary

Needle Felting Class

July 29th 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Class is $90.00 supplies will be inlcuded

Reservations required, go online, call the shop, or sign up in person. 

Get a spot at the table and learn how to needle  felt. The in-person classes take approx. 2 hours and you take home what you created. If you didn't finish your work you will leave with the skills and tools to finish it at home. The only thing you might have to invest in is felting foam, but they are not always necessary.

Needle felting is the process of using a barbed needle to repeatedly jab fiber causing it to tangle and become more compact. Any natural animal fiber, can be felted, though some are easier than others. In classes at Heart2Heart, we typically use an alpaca/wool blend roving. 

Class participants should be 16 or older, but kids 12-15 may register with an adult companion also enrolled in the class.
