See my heart!

Well here in North Texas we are all snuggling up in our homes due to the low record breaking temps and sheet of ice on every surface outside. To add to the craziness people from all over the US are arriving for the Superbowl. You people up north would think we are crazy if you could see how we react to weather like this! So what's a girl to do under these conditions??? I know... create sumpin!

I purchased this cute little frame at the Goodwill the other day. As soon as I saw it I had an idea of just what I wanted to do with it. Do you have items that you are drawn to at the Goodiwll? I do, frames are one of them. This little gem cost me  99 cents, how you gonna walk away from such cuteness for that price I ask you???? So I gave it a good coat of  Krylon X Metal Red spray paint.

Then I took some of the leftover wool that I had from this project.

And this old sweater... I love the color of but it always sheds and gets awful little fuzzies in my eyes. I couldn't throw it away, I thought it would be perfect for a project. I cut 3 hearts in 3 different sizes out of these fabrics.

I cut 3 small circles a little smaller than a dime. Then I took a needle and thread that had been knotted. I pulled it thru the circle.  I couldn't take pics of this but I folded the circle in half, with the knot inside and I folded it in half again which made a little bud. I took the needle and thread and whipped a few stitches thru the small end, kinda at the point. It forms these sweet little buds.

I glued all 3 of those buds to the center of this heart. I also stitched around the white heart, then glued everything together. It's so sweet, love how  it all came together. I was inspired by Tea Rose Home on this project. She is one of my favorite blogs and one of the first that I followed. Go and check her out! Oh and hear is a shot of our crazy weather, doesn't look nearly as bad as it is!
