Is it already February?
No, worse...
It's almost March!
So much for my 2017 plans. I just lost two months and I haven't started on my goals yet!
But I did write them.
And I have been doing some random little projects.
How many reading glasses do you have scattered around your house? I got tired of trying to carry one pair around with me just in case I needed to read something so I got multiple pairs to leave in different rooms and made these little eyeglass cases to put them in.
I did manage to take notice of Valentine's Day and finished making a few little Valentine quilted hearts like this. It could be a coaster or just a decoration.
And I made some little Valentine notebooks that have a fabric cover that is bonded to paper. These little notebooks are 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" with 48 pages. The covers are stiff enough to hold their shape but flexible and have some give. They won't fray because the fabric is bonded to a backing paper and you can stuff them in your purse or pocket for random note taking. I'm thinking of doing a blog post just on how I make these little books.
And I finally got around to trying out some new art supplies I got for Christmas. I'm a big fan of watercolor pencils and these muted colors are an interesting change from the typical rainbow colored set.
