    Sandy, THANK YOU so very much for your tutorial on needle felting eyes. I have a faceless little fox I made in a class …hum…maybe 7 years ago. I look at him and say…someday little buddy… The class was not long enough for faces to be completed. My Dear little one has no face. I am grateful to you Sandy, now I can give my fox his personality. 🙂 I see you have closeup pics of a fox face too, I can’t wait to get at him. Sandy you have been so helpful. I so appreciate this, it was very kind of you.
    If only I was closer to come to your workshops.
