Crafting Heartily

Heart outside.

Heart inside.


Two hearts.


Having itchy fingers and wanting a change from doing papercrafts and cross-stitch I decided to make some lavender hearts. As I am not a seamstress and am yet to master the sewing machine I hand sewed the hearts using a running stitch. The hearts are made from upholstery fabric and topped with wool felt hearts and shell buttons. They are a little 'shabby chic' for my taste but I did enjoy the process of making them.


I recently received some tags/awards from fellow bloggers. I don't do tags/awards as I can't keep up with who has had them/done them/ doesn't do them etc, however I would like to say thank you to those who nominated me; Driftwood, Nimblejacks and Summerfete. Their blogs are a joy to read.

  3. Hi Simone, you did a great job. I love the hearts. I've been wanting to make some lavendar sachets too. I bought the lavender but that is as far as I've gotten.

    ps my plaster is off...yippee..I am now free to hobble around. The nice slim ankle I once had, is gone, I just hope that the swelling goes. I tried to walk in my heels...I just could not do it, I walked that Dick Emery Walk if you know what I mean.
