About the Artist Behind Fox Hollow Friends

Hi there! I’m Dina, the heart and hands behind Fox Hollow Friends. Each woodland creature you meet here is lovingly handmade in my Connecticut studio using natural wool, careful needle-felting, and a touch of imagination.

From mice to bunnies and all the tiny friends in between, every creation is one-of-a-kind (OOAK) — each with its own personality, story, and gentle charm. I dress them in handmade clothing, include care instructions, and pair them with a Certificate of Authenticity so you’ll always know your friend is truly unique.

While these felted companions are not toys for children or pets, they are perfect for adults who cherish whimsy, storytelling, and artisan craft.

Thank you for visiting this cozy corner of Meesylvania — you’re always welcome here.

 

🌿 A Small Moment on Screen

Sometimes, the smallest moments feel the most magical.

When Gather on Hopmeadow—where my Fox Hollow Friends creations live—was featured on Great Day Connecticut, I watched closely…

And there, for just a few quiet seconds, my little felted world appeared on the shelf.

No spotlight, no big introduction—just a glimpse.

But somehow, that made it even more meaningful.

A tiny piece of Meesylvania, tucked into a cozy shop, becoming part of something larger.

And that’s how these stories grow—one small moment at a time.

My creations can be found at Gather on Hopmeadow—a cozy little shop filled with handmade treasures from local artists.
