VALENTINES DAY IS ON MONDAY!! Kinda sneaked up on me this year. But that's okay. The hubby and I don't really get that into Valentines Day. We have a tradition... we buy ourselves a new movie on Valentines Day and watch it at home on the couch. And sometimes I get chocolate, but that's not really a once a year thing for me... Flowers? Nah - I can't really keep ANYTHING alive for longer than a day. Although I wouldn't complain if the hubby was thoughtful enough to get me some every once in a while.
However, this year I did decide I needed to make something to remind us what month it is...
It took a little while to get to it, because I wouldn't let myself work on it until I finished making these:
Whew!
Then I made this (don't worry, I finished it last week so I'm not TOO far behind):
AND I tried binding BY HAND this time around! I think it looks better - hopefully I did it right. I washed this little thing because I also tried raw edge applique and I wanted the edge of the heart to fray a little, so it looks a little bumpy. But it was really quick to make.
Now. What should I do for March?
On a side note, I guess I did get an early Valentines Day gift this year. Wanna see it? Well, okay. But only because I love it so much:
Isn't it pretty! And it's ALL MINE!! YAY!
