You probably know that I'm working on a challenge on my other blog (
365 Sewn Hearts) to make 365 sewn hearts this year. I want to share a small milestone that I reached this week: I've filled up a second pint-sized canning jar with heart-shaped wool felt scissors fobs. The timing is perfect, because my enthusiasm for these fob-hearts has decidedly waned! It's funny, because for 2 months I've been a fob-making machine, full of excitement and new ideas; but now I am very ready to move on to something completely different. There are still over 100 days left in my challenge, and I have a good idea that will carry me through a large chunk of that time--if you check my heart blog in about a week, you will see what that idea is!
The two jars full of fobs:
Here they are, all nicely arranged!
You can see how small they are in the picture below, with one resting on my fingertips. Each heart is about 1 3/8" in each direction.
The two below aren't in the group picture because I gave them away in personal swaps this month, with people on
Craftster.
The snowman went to
Homerof2. (She is in Canada, and I also sent her a Canadian flag fob; the one in the picture above was the "reject" because I felt that the maple leaf was too tall and skinny!)
This beauty of a chicken now lives with

I love looking at all of these hearts; and I expect I will make a few more before the year is out, when I get some new ideas for them.
