my latest project...






that just may take the rest of my life to complete. my friend brianna is always doing cute little crafts for the holidays. so in january i informed her that she needed to come up with something for us to do for valentines. she first proposed making paper heart garland like pbk's. i thought it was a great idea. next thing i know we're stepping it up and now we're making pbk's valentine bag chair backers. brianna found a tutorial on a blog and she invited alyssa and i to make them with her. luckily for alyssa she decide she was too busy for this project. this first one took us 6 hours to complete (aka 2am.). after re-write #1 of the tutorial we made #2 in about 4-4 1/2 hours (during the day with 4 kids). i started #3 and ran out of thread. we each planned on making 4. so that's 8 total. i'm hoping they get faster everytime. i'm already coming up with new re-writes. and hopefully i'll get asher's done before valentine's day. brianna has done all the cutting so they are all cut out. but now i have to sew them all. on a sewing machine that doesn't alway like me. next project lets try something a little less time consuming!!! i know i'm going to be glad i have them just as soon as they are all done.
