Today I did something that I haven't done since 7th grade, I sewed on a sewing machine. A few weeks ago I bought a fairly cheep sewing machine and tried it out today. It took me a while to get it all set up, but once I started going I was on a roll! This is what I made today:
It's not a very fancy plastic bag holder, but it's a start. I hope it helps me limit how many I have floating around. I like to be organized if I can. I got the instructions on Martha Stewart's website, but I didn't have a towel to spare, so I just used some fabric. I just love the little lady bugs. =)
Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own. So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!
Great bag bag. hee, hee. Thanks for stopping by Asleep on the Couch. I hope you will try and complete a card for the challenge. Good luck with the blog candy.
