Fabric Hearts Tutorial

 Many years ago, I used up some small scraps of fabrics left in my 'stash',

making little stuffed fabric hearts for my winter + Valentine's Day decor.

Created from remnants of a matlasse' bedspread, burlap,
and a chenille bedspread that reminds me of my Grandma,

I've displayed them in many ways over the years...

These hearts were featured in 2014 in my seasonal decor columns
in two lovely home decorating publications,
Creating Vintage Charm Magazine and JOYful Home & Life online.
(Also in the Winter 2012 issue of FOLK Magazine)

 I'm sharing my simple tutorial for making stuffed fabric hearts
for the month of February here on the blog, too...

Enjoy this 'fast, cheap & easy' TM craft project!

JOYful Home & Life

I am a woman of faith.

I don't bring much of that onto this blog,
but I am a girl who grew up singing at church, and later worked with youth groups and womens ministries.
And I can say with all honesty that I have come to where I am in life only because
I am absolutely certain that God loves me,
 and that my relationship with Him is my balance point in life.

I have been praying for an opportunity to contribute to a faith-based publication,

and a few months ago, an opportunity came right to my [digital] doorstep!

[ I just love it when that happens...]

Today, the new JOYful Home & Life website launches,

featuring a marvelously gifted group of writers, bloggers, and photographers

each sharing wonderfully inspiring and educational ideas - with a focus on faith. 

With content covering the subjects of home decor, entertaining, DIY, crafts,

recipes, holidays, organizing, family life, and even organic foods,

it's a wonderful new community and resource for families.

I am honored to be a regular contributor to this new site, 

and will be sharing simple seasonal decor and DIY ideas on the first of every month.

[maybe more in the future... but for right now, that's what I can handle!]

I invite you to visit JOYful Home & Life today!
