What do you do in between such festivities as Christmas and New Year celebration?
Wrong!
After you have got tired of consuming gingerbread cookies and having wine you take a bag of fluffy stuff, a long and extra sharp needle and… yes, start punching.

After seeing Zane doing her magic I felt so tempted to try.
Now I can understand her inability to put down the needle until 4 am and her stories about the next day in the office when the only thought after such a night is not about a soft welcoming pillow but about the next felted creature which will come into this world after hours of patient and tiresome punching. (We even thought about possible necessity of establishing a Felters Anonymous.) 
It’s an interesting and creative way of stress relief after a busy day in the office. And what’s even better, in few hours time you can get something tangible for yourself (a little charm or a brooch) or a unique gift for your friend.
In the end of the process I got a little reindeer and I can tell you – those punches in my fingers were definitely worth it.

great post!
reindeer sending greets from Riga! and oh yes – it is exactly as Liga writes – when you’re so used to work in the office (and use your fingers more for typing than creating something), it’s a relief to have the ability to create tangible things and bringing so much joy to others.
