What are you most proud of?

This was my first attempt at felting. I'm really proud of how well the slippers turned out. I gave them as a birthday gift, and received raves from everyone who saw them, even the guys.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The hardest thing about this project was the felting and that is sooo easy. Be sure to use a laundry bag during the felting process. And don't use towels in the machine. Use a pair of denim jeans, they help with the agitation and you won't get fuzz on the project as you do with towels.
