heart health

"Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built." James Allen

 
 Hi there. Remember me? Holy cow. It's been busy around here. January hibernation seems to be melting away...

There are basketball practices and games now, Girl Scout cookies needing to be sold, and we had such a "wonderful" trip to the dentist last week-- several of Jesses' baby teeth had to be pulled to make way for braces. (How can we be at braces already, didn't those two adorable bottom baby teeth just come in last week?) He really was a trooper though. Doing his best to be brave, I could tell.

But in between it all, me and my trusty sewing machine have been cranking out the Valentine hearts for the sweet children's shop I'm busy selling to. When I took last week's basket of hearts in; they went right back out the door about ten minutes later-- before they could even be priced! "How much is this one, how much is that one?"... It was kinda crazy wonderful :-D I think I've made and sold over fifty heart-shaped items; hanging hearts and brooches in the last few weeks. All those old wool sweaters and thrift store shirts are getting a new lease on life :) So fun.  At least if your goofy like me over old used clothes, I guess.

So I think I'll be posting handmade hearts and lovely quotes for a little while here. (And I'll do a how to). Hey, it's February (yay!), so what else should there be but hearts and lovely words? 

Love, ~Kelly

Well I can see why your hearts fly out the doors. They're so pretty.

Seems like we are living very similar lives. Basketball. Braces. And while I don't have a Girl Scout I would love to buy some cookies for my boys from your daughter.

Have her bring some to the school pickup. Preferably Thin Mints.
