Valentines Day Will Be Here Before We Know It!!

Getting a few heart swags made for my Etsy Shop.

I had some left over pieces from a cutter quilt that I had made some wreath's out of and a few other items. I was thinking of how I could use them and that's when I came up with the idea of making heart swags for Valentines Day. So I gathered them up along with some other supplies and started making them. What fun it was to design them and then put them together. I embellished all six of them with vintage buttons. I LOVE vintage buttons! Here I am getting started...





I ended up making three of the three heart swags and three of the seven heart swags. I mentioned that I was getting low on my cutter quilt scraps to a friend of mine and she offered me a few of her's. That was so kind of her, now I can maybe squeeze out another seven heart swag.



These six swags are now in my Etsy Shop. If you would like to check them out here is the link fabraholic4.etsy.com.

I have a couple of other ideas going around in my head that I would like to get made up for this year. Guess I better get busy and get them started and made. Valentines Day will be here very soon. I will post them as soon as I get them done.

My cross stitching has suffered a bit while making these swags, I did get one valentine chart done, now I have to figure out how to finish it. I'm thinking about just putting it in a frame because it turned out too large for a bowl pillow. I am getting a lot of idea's from flosstuber, mamalovesyouGBMichelle. She shares a lot of free charts offered by different designers.  If you need a positive pick-me-up check out Anna of Stitch Roadies. I love to watch her video's in the morning after my scripture reading. She is so nice and very positive. A wonderful way to start the day. 


Looking forward to tomorrow, my daughter is coming over and we are going to make Valentine Cards. We haven't done this since she was a little girl.We might even bake some heart shaped sugar cookies!

Take care everyone!

Blessings to you all.
