Valentine Banner

This was a really easy and quick decoration once I made up my mind on what I was going to do. At first I was just going to make solid hearts, then I was going to do mostly light pink but with one dark pink, and then I decided to put on some of the candy conversation heart saying on every other one, and then I just put them on all of them.

What you need: some felt, a heart shape cookie cutter, scissors, ribbon, sewing floss, and a pen. First use your heart shape cookie cutter and trace a bunch of hearts onto the felt and then cut them out. You need to cut out two hearts for every heart you want. Then stitch some cute conversation heart sayings onto the top hearts. I did: Q T Pie, My Baby, Hugs, Be Mine, XOXO, Sweet, Kiss Me, Dream, and Love. I tried to stick to shorter ones because I didn't have much room on my hearts.

Then sew the bottom hearts onto the ribbon.

Then sew the top hearts with the sayings on them so the ribbon is sandwiched in between.

I just stitched around the outside, slowly going around and around.

Then they are ready to hang!

Don't they look cute on the fireplace!

Happy Valentines Day!

Valentine's Day Wreath

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!

Fish Finger Glove Puppet

I just love being back east and being with all of my family for Christmas, but I don't like the travel and I really don't like the germs. We managed to bring back with us some lovely east coast germs. Little Moose took it the hardest and still is a little bit sick. Anyways, I finally got the chance to get back onto my computer and I just have to share with you what my sister-in-law made for us. There are a bunch so I'll share one every day this week! I love the bright colors of the fishes! Each glove puppet came with a poem. They are just to cute!

Scrapbooking, Adore

Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them. I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love. This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus. I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy. I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page. It really is a random page for a random photo. This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration. I felt that they would make a fun background. At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk. I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol. I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use. At first, I was going to just paint the frames white, but then I decided to make them gray. I'm glad I made them gray because now they
