Valentine Mail Pouches

I have been pondering this project for quite some time.  Trying to combine the many that I have seen from place to place, blog to blog.  So here is my attempt at the chair backer.  I think they came out really cute!  They should work just fine to capture those Valentine's Day goodies!!!

Pillows from Heaven

I am on a roll with these pillow covers lately!  It is great sewing practice, since it is not my number 1 talent. But, I am getting better!  As they say, practice makes perfect.  Valentine's day is quickly approaching and I don't ever put my decor up until, well, today!  Here are a couple of pillow covers I made for the occasion.  The burlap one,  think I'll keep that out as regular decor.  Just love the quote.  And, giving credit where credit is due...Thank you Jen from Tatertots & Jello for  sharing a link for the heart pillow.  This one is from Copy Craft!  Super duper craft, but took a while.

Subway Art

I used my Cricut and a scrap board to make this subway art.  Think it came out pretty cute!  It was already painted...xtra from Halloween!  Happy Valentines Day!

Craft Night follow up...

So, finished up some jewelry that we were working on at last nights Craft Night.  Here it is...Anthro inspired necklaces.  Definitely going to make some more of these.  Very time consuming though.  But love how they turned out.  Thanks Monica for a fun night!

Craft Night

Tonight, my friend Monica and I, had our first ever Craft Night!  hahahaha

It was fun...we sat around and talked and attempted to make some jewelry.    Mulled wine and artichoke dip on a cold night.  We actually decided to use some of the stuff that we buy on our little shopping trips.  So much fun!  Definitely going to do it again.  Will post some pics tomorrow!

A-ha

Sorting through the bags from many Christmas shopping trips, I had a big A-ha moment!  Back in October, I made a wreath from a wire hanger and black trash bags.  So in my never ending goal to reuse stuff, I decided to do the same with white shopping bags.  So...viola...a wreath!  With a little touch of burlap.

Things I made with a sweater

So, I kind of felted an old wool sweater, one that I really liked once upon a time.  Then I made some trendy stuff out of it.  It's all for me...but my daughter likes it too...so maybe I'll share:)
