Right, I know I am not supposed to love things. But, I do.
Well, at least I like them a whole bunch. Here are few things that fit the bill.
Happy Valentine’s Day Just a Blink readers! I *heart* you and your visits to my blog.
Love,
Jess
This week I was inspired by a craft club blog called, Crafts in Bloom. The author gave out the project assignment to use old clothing to create something beautiful and new. (click here to see the club’s results)
I chose to make one last Valentine’s project. I used Ryan’s old shirt (he wore in his first school photo) and Molly’s old sweater (no special meaning, just had a hole in it).
What a fun way to keep the memory of Ry’s shirt without having to hold onto it in the attic!
Love,
Jess
I had the sweetest little visitors, Elle Belle and Lucy (and their mommy Becki), over to make V-day cards. We crafted a bit, ate some yummy treats and generally had a lovely day. There were a few tears but nothing red m&ms and a hug from the moms couldn’t fix.
Take a minute this week to write a love note to someone special in your life!
Love,
Jess
Proverbs 31:12
She gathers wool and flax and works with eager hands
I survived using a needle and thread. I may even have the gumption to try it again. Of course, I had the lure of hot-gluing an old clip-on earring, to get me through to the end of the “sewing”.
I used a 4-leaf Clover shaped Yo-Yo guide to make the wool pin. Yeah, I didn’t know what that was until I bought it. It’s basically a piece of plastic that the fabric snaps into as a guide for thread stitches. A lot of knotting, pulling and clipping was involved.
I love it pinned onto my denim purse.
Love,
Jess
