Teresa (private blog, but family can check it out)
(Teresa is adding a fun new twist on this challenge and I love it. Her challenges each month are going to focus on service. January:her family made fleece blankets for a homeless shelter & February: her family made sugar cookies to surprise some neighbors. Very creative!)

Valentine's Day was awhile ago, but my Valentine was in a different country most of the month of love. It was also our 7-yr Anniversary during his absence.

So...while he was away, all we could do was write love notes through email and chat a bit on the phone. I've always loved getting notes and wanted to make it extra special for those I love the most.

    How cute! I love the envelopes! I made some love blocks for February, although it was the end of January, I made them early for examples for Relief Society. http://dreamingofstitches.blogspot.com/2010/01/february-love.html

robin egg blue dresser

The toy/sewing/exercise/office room is where the majority of our time is spent throughout the day, and I hated looking at that ugly dresser (see below). After long hours of sanding, priming, painting, sanding, and staining...it is now my favorite part of the room. This dresser has earned it's way to be here and I'll tell you why. My sweet husband wasn't very anxious for me to get started on this because I think he thought that HE would end up sanding, priming, and painting, but I'm happy to say that I did it all, minus the hardware placement! And...I bought a lighter paint than this and once it was time to paint, I knew it wouldn't work so I had to return it and go darker. My husband was rolling his eyes. Then...after cleaning the brushes in our upstairs laundry sink, I left the tube hanging out of the sink that drains the washer. I started a load of laundry and headed downstairs.

The flowers aren't in view, but she carries them around along with her growing veggies and apples from the tree. I had so much fun making it. It was like drawing with fabric....and I love to color, although I think I'm better at sewing it then actually drawing it. If you decide to make one...I'd love to see your playhouse. Mine fits over our dining room table (which barely seats 4) but most are made to cover a card table. I just measured the table, cut out each side, sewed on each side, then put it all together. The windows were a little tricky just because that plastic is kind of hard to sew with, but I just put paper underneath it so it would slide on the sewing machine, then riped it out when it...

all the stockings were hung

I FINISHED!!! I'm so excited how they turned out. Yes, they are copycat from Garnet Hil [see below], but when they charge $50 per stocking you can't blame me right? I love sewing with felt. Every time I do it I have so much fun. It's like painting a picture with my bernina.
