Valentine's crafting - I'm not the best seamstress, but I tried...

I have been in the mood to do make a few things to decorate for Valentine's Day.  This is my attempt at sewing a reversible, heart-shaped basket liner.  The fabrics & ribbon, I bought at my local JoAnn Fabric & Craft Store.

So, I'm definitely not the best seamstress.  It would probably have helped if I had taken a sewing class.  Maybe someday I will.  I've bought a few patterns over the years, but they usually don't even get opened.  LOL.  However, every so often I decide to pull out my machine and play with it.  Plus, every time I try to sew, I feel like I learn something new.

I'm not quite done, but I have been working on a few other little projects, too.  There were a couple signs that I thought would be (cute & handy) for my laundry room.  The ideas came from a missing sock board and a check your pockets board that I had seen on Pinterest.  No, they are not exact copies...I had to make them my own.  The clear-coat is probably still drying right now.  Plus, they aren't hung up yet.  I still need to attach the saw-tooth hangers on the back of both, and to attach a jar to the "pocket" board.  Looking forward to getting them on the wall this weekend.  Of course, I hope they look as cute on the wall as they do laying on the counter.  ;)

Either way, these little projects gave me a reason to get messy with modge-podge, play with my cricut, and even make a few extra cute clothes-pins.
