Shabby Chic Heart!

While I am not one who does a lot of holiday decorating, I just couldn't resist trying this one out.  I really liked the way my first wreath turned out, so when I found the wire heart form, I new I had to give it a try!  I am thinking of doing an "Americana" themed heart for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, etc.  Think I am finally at the point where I am going to work on selling some Shabby Chic wreaths.  So, let me know if you're interested!!!  The possibilities are endless...  :-)

Project Complete!

Proyecto completo!  Project complete!!!!

After my last post about failure, I needed some redeeming!  Here is my first completed project of the New Year!  (And, to be honest, if you can't tell, I am pretty pleased with it!)

 While I did not complete it "in a night" which is kind of what the pattern suggested, it went quite quickly after I started working on it.  It could definitely be completed easily in a few nights.

This one is to brighten my front door during these "dreary," after Christmas, winter months.  But, now that I have completed one, my mind wanders with the endless possibilities!!!!  Watch out!
