Hearts.

Today I started to work on a simple Valentines Banner, it turned out so darling...I'm happy with my results. i will hang this from our mantel...Love the Cricut Cartridge that cuts banners, it has several designs to choose from and I keep using it for different occasions during the year. I had all the paper I needed for this project...seriously...paper is my obsession after all...and I also used some little trinkets that Krystel gave me on a gift some time ago. Love hearts and everything that as to do with Valentines...

Girlie learning to sew..

So the sewing machine is finally out of the box...yay...Krystel started to watch some online tutorials and started to give it a try...she is really enjoying it and I can't wait to see the beautiful things that for sure she will make. I received a sewing machine as a gift about 30 years ago and really...it was a nightmare trying to  make anything, it was just a difficult machine. When I picked this machine for her  at Christmas time I did  lot of research and read tons of reviews, I really wanted a machine that could be simple, a machine that for sure will not discourage her from trying to make things. Sewing these days is so fun, there are so many cute ideas of things to make and beautiful fabrics everywhere. I stopped by a scrapbook store the other day and they now have fabrics for quilting and also for small projects, beautiful fabrics with designs that made me think of scrapbooking papers.
