Working on a new wreath!

I found a really cute wreath for valentines day on Http://www.theidearoom.net/2010/01/valentines-day-craft.html

When I tried to get a heart shaped foam wreath form, all the craft stores were all sold out. So I waited until July (ok I forgot about it until I was in the wreath aisle)... and I made it into my summer craft project! I am so excited about how it came out. It looks softer in real life, so I have to take better pictures, but here is what I have for now.

Materials
About 2 yards of remnant fabric
One bundle of fabric
A box of flat head straight pins
Heart shaped foam wreath form

I cut all the fabric into 4x4 squares, then into 3 inch circles using pinking shears. Folded each circle into quarters and pinned onto wreath. So easy. From start to finish was about 3 hours. If you use thicker fabric, it will probably be quicker.

Appliances.... @ PC Richards

We researched thoroughly which appliances to get.... Consumer reports, looking online, going to stores. I pretty much had decided on which ones ahead of time, but wanted to give them a once over before we bought. Thank goodness I did. The dishwasher I had picked out had the silverware tray on the door. (Egad! The horror!) Luckily, we saw that in time and were able to pick out another one. (big sigh of relief) One of these days I'm going to save my nickels and buy one of those double dishwashers. So efficient, convenient and as cool as a dishwasher can get. I am very excited for my new stove. It is gas, BUT, the cooktop is ceramic glass! GE Profile (PGS968SEPSS) You just wipe it down!!! How many of you are excited?! (and reading this....) We also got a matching microwave. See how the curve of the glass matches the stove? Fridge is a Whirlpool Gold (GX5FHTXV) with an interior water dispenser and an...

Blue jars

Who doesn't love those blue glass bottles and jars? I am trying to paint my own using glass paint and pickle jars. If they come out good, I will upgrade myself to mason jars. Christmas Tree shops have them for either $.99 or $.89 depending on size. Here's my work in progress. Need to wait 24 hours to see how it dries. ----------- Ok the dried a little streaky, and I should have used a little paint thinner. Also, the brushes I originally tried to use were poor quality and the bristles were getting stuck in the jar paint. I ended up using a foam brush which makes things gooier. They will be used for centerpieces, so I'm sure it'll be fine when I fill the jars with water and beautiful flowers.
