Friday, lovely Friday


I love Fridays!! It means I can stay up late putzing, it means when I wake up at 3 a.m. I can turn on the light and read instead of worrying about falling back asleep!! It means that tomorrow morning after my feet hit that cold, cold kitchen floor because I have to get up at 6 to give my sweet little diabetic furbaby her shot and food (cause she is on a strict schedule) that I can go back to my warm cozy bed when we are finished.!! Such little things make me happy!!
No card to post today, but last night I made this sweet little valentine heart ornament for a swap.. The center is from a vintage hankie, then I backed it onto a piece of red felt that I cut with pinking shears.. another piece of white felt and then some pretty lace around the edges.. old white buttons all around and the icing on the cake are these amazing pink heart beads on the top.. another little rak from Janet!! They were in the package with all the other goodies and when I saw them I knew what I would use them for..It is such a dull day here, we had more snow.. it was hard to get a good photo! Now I must pack this up and mail it out to my swap partner!! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.. I am off to make Breakfast cookies...

Oh I totally LOVE your ornament - such a fun idea to use the vintage hanky and those buttons look fab around the heart - gorgeous!
