My Felt Lady Turns 10!

Celebrating a Decade of My Felt Lady:

A Journey of Creativity and Community

As the confetti falls and we reflect on an incredible decade of crafting magic, I can hardly believe it’s been 10 years since I first launched My Felt Lady. What began as a small idea, fueled by late nights, endless to-do lists, and a burning passion for wool felt, has grown into a thriving community of creatives who share the same love for this versatile material.

The Early Days: A Dream Takes Shape

Back in 2014, when My Felt Lady was just a concept, I was balancing the challenges of raising a family with the dream of creating something meaningful. The early days were full of highs and lows—moments of sheer excitement mixed with those of exhaustion and doubt. But through it all, one thing kept me going: the knowledge that our high-quality wool felt was bringing joy and inspiration to so many talented individuals out there.

The journey of a small business is never easy. There were times I questioned whether it was worth it—times when the fatigue of juggling family and business made me want to throw in the towel. But the smiles on the faces of our customers when they held our products, the stories they shared about the beautiful things they created, and the warmth of our community reminded me why I started this journey in the first place.

The Strength of Community: A Shared Passion

Over the years, My Felt Lady has grown far beyond just a business—it’s become a family. The relationships we’ve built with our customers, many of whom have been with us since the beginning, are the heart and soul of what we do. I’ve been blessed to witness the incredible creativity that flows from our community, with each project serving as a testament to the power of felt as a medium for self-expression.

But none of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of my trusty sidekick, Laura. She’s not just my business partner—she’s my rock, my sister, and my best friend. Laura has been by my side every step of the way, providing the encouragement, laughter, and occasional reality check that every small business owner needs. Her dedication and hard work have been instrumental in making My Felt Lady what it is today, and I am endlessly grateful for her.

Reflecting on the Last 10 Years: A Rollercoaster of Highs and Lows

Running a small business is a constant balancing act, especially when you're trying to do it while raising a family. There have been countless late nights, long days, and moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. But the highs have far outweighed the lows. Seeing the joy our products bring to others, knowing that something we created is now a part of someone else's creative journey—it's the most rewarding feeling in the world.

Over the past decade, we’ve faced our fair share of challenges, from the logistics of managing inventory to the ever-evolving demands of running an online business. There were days when I thought I might never catch up, when the stress of it all seemed too much. But the support from our community and the love for what we do have always pulled us through.

Looking to the Future: What’s Next for My Felt Lady?

As we celebrate this milestone, I can’t help but look forward to the future with excitement and optimism. We’ve come so far, but there’s still so much more to achieve. The world of wool felt is vast, and I’m eager to explore new ideas, introduce more products, and continue to build a community where creativity thrives.

Our 10th anniversary is not just a celebration of the past, but also a promise of what’s to come. We’re committed to continuing to provide high-quality products, excellent customer service, and a space where crafters of all levels can find inspiration and support.
