so yesterday afternoon for no particular reason other than the fact i was a little bit bored, i sat down at my desk and started sewing!
not entirely sure why but who cares! i ended up making 3 pretty little lavender hearts using polka dot felt, lots of embroidery floss, some ribbon and looooooads of dried lavender!
they're all hand stitched with the word 'love' (in my own handwriting) and blanket stitched but i whizzed them through the sewing machine as well to make sure none of the lavender will spill out!
i messed up the lettering on the first one though so it's whip stitched while the other two are just stitched normally.
the only problem now is that my room absolutely stinks of lavender!!!
they're kind of cute though right! well i enjoyed making them so that's what counts i guess, they're all hanging from my wardrobe doors at the moment
not really sure what to do with them! should i gift them or make some more and sell them?!
who knows!

in other news, i got kind of bored again today so in between working on commission files i ended up having a go at some weird little text manips using photos and magazine scans and craft knife cut out letters smoothed out on my macbook
i made about 10 altogether but these were my favourites, using some quotes from song lyrics, Shakespeare's Macbeth and a quote from Mary Poppins.
not sure why i made them! boredom clearly does crazy things to my mind!

that's it for today i think, i'm heading out this weekend to pick up a few more goodies for the giveaway bundle but apart from that, no exciting plans going on in my world!!!
that's all folks... ★ ◕‿◕ xX
Those hearts are so cute! If I were you I'd try selling them. They seem like the perfect thing to hang in a closet to freshen everything.
