I have decided that I'm going to make my first quilt ever. I don't really have any idea on how to make one so it's going to be a big learning activity and I bet I will be making it all wrong. I am following a tutorial over at Obsessively Stitching, but I'm changing it up a bit. I have cut just a few squares so far and I realize that this is going to take forever. Luckily, today I'm a very good mood because in one week I will be flying back to Rochester, NY for my baby shower. I can't wait to see all of my family. =) Now I better get back to making those squares!
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!
