Heart to Heart - Some Valentine Projects

Found the most adorable fabric heart craft that is easy enough for anyone to do in a couple hours. The pattern is free and this can be used to make a sachet with a bit of lavender in it or maybe a pincushion or just a sweet little decoration for Valentines Day.

Back of the heart

See, even pretty done just with fabric!

Of course I had to add a bit of embroidery to mine but it certainly isn't necessary. Just use some fun fabric scraps. The finished hearts are about 5" by 6" and the most difficult part is tying a nice square knot.

Monogrammed Mouse Pads

I attended a convention this summer and as is almost always the case, you end up with a few promotional items to bring home. I was happy to see that this time, the goodie bag included mouse pads because I wanted to experiment doing embroidery on them but didn't want to use a good one since they run about $4 - $5 a piece now even at Walmart. So I did this. Using Heat & Bond Ultra and beautiful fabric from my collection I created these. Being an embroiderer there was no question that I had to add a monogram. They made my desk top a happy place now. But of course I couldn't stop there. Once I noticed the totally ugly promotional design was ghosting through I went on a mission to find some plain white ones and create some for family and friends. Then I thought well what the heck else would be a nice complement sitting near the computer and I remembered that I had this in the hoop round coaster design. I found the design ages ag...
