Can I just say she looooves it! I know it seems a little crazy. The hubs didn't really care for it. But it looks fantastic on her bed!

Valentine Wreath
After Christmas the house looks so plain! I am attempting to make up for that by making Valentine crafts.
I saw this cute garland here, but I am to lazy to go to all that trouble and time. I dug through my scraps (so glad I keep my scrap ribbon aren't you?) I ripped strips of fabric about 1"x4" give or take and inch.
Now here comes the lazy part. I got out some fold over Elastic (only because it was pink and I thought it would show less, it could have been any elastic) I went to the sewing machine and started stuffing the bits under the foot, sewing it right to the elastic which I pulled as I sewed.
Well I just had to add another 5 minutes to my wreath. What do you think of some roses?

Wrapped around this wreath that I had picked up at the Dollar Tree last fall and never did anything with. Hung it up. Now that was a quick 15 minutes! My kind of craft :)

Thinking of you
CeCe has a little girl in her class that has an autoimmune type disease. She has had to stay home for the winter. Since she was missing the Christmas Party I decided to make a blanket that we could take over to her. I had this really cute purple fabric in my stash and thought it would make a cute rag quilt. The other squares I did in white so all the kids could write on it for her.
I think she really liked it. I know her Mom appreciated the thought.
