"Thank you for such an enjoyable day and for the delicious lunch too! I am delighted with my Christmas wreath, which looks beautiful in my home now and has received lots of compliments." Rose

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a lovely day at our Christmas wreath-making workshop. I had never done any kind of felting activity before but you explained and demonstrated each step so clearly and I really enjoyed the needle felting. It was a lovely environment to work in and the wool and locks were such lovely materials to work with." Rosemary

"Thanks for an enjoyable day, Emma. The wreath looked beyond my capabilities but, with your clear instructions and encouragement, proved to be attainable. I am delighted with the result and have added it to my festive display." Margaret
