Be Mine

I love to do all these creative things for seasonal decorating but...

WHERE DO YOU PUT ALL OF THIS CRAP?

It's dangerous to open any of our closets and the garage is beginning to look like Sanford & Son.

That aside, a couple of Valentine/Winter projects from the kitchen:

These are made from 2 layers of either red ticking or muslin with a layer of batting in between.  I stained them with a mixture of coffee, vanilla, nutmeg, and anything else that smelled good.  THEN - I found these fabulous sheets of canvas that you can use with your printer.  Voila- the little labels sewn to the hearts.

These are just artists' canvas that I covered with scrapbook paper and then used the

Cricut to add the X and the O.

This I made last winter.  It's suppose to have lots more embroidery and embellishments but I'm not one for too much bling.  I like the little guys just the way they are.  The pattern came from this book-

I've spent the last 2 days painting the dining room a deep chocolatey brown.  Pics to follow sometime this week.  The winter is getting long and I see fault with every room in the house.  M doesn't understand that there IS a statute of limitations on paint color.  Boys! Ugh!
