applique – Page 3

Here is a preview of my latest project:

But, before I get into the details, I wanted to share some thoughts and a fun photo from this morning.
……………………………………………………….

It’s such a beautiful morning here in Virginia. I am thoroughly enjoying seeing all of this weekend’s snow glimmering in the sunlight. The sound of the snow melting from the trees is one I won’t soon forget.

My kiddos made their first ever snowman.

I’m proud to say that they did it all on their own. Not bad for two former Floridians!

Last week, my daughter asked if we could make some more fun little wristlets similar to the heart applique wristlet from earlier this month. She picked out a few fabrics, some felt, and we got to work.

Here is what we came up with:

Blue and white chevron with pink bird applique

Yellow and white chevron with an elephant applique

I don’t necessary create according to season, but there is something about hearts and love around Valentine’s Day that brightens my spirit.

Doesn’t this wristlet, with its mix of sweet and tough, just brighten YOUR day???

For today’s project I was inspired by a couple of Valentine’s-related pins I came across on everyone’s favorite time-killer, Pinterest.

First was the Deux Lux ‘Resort’ Wristlet from Nordstrom.com. Next was this DIY art project by Southern Lovely. (I was going to add the photos, but I wanted to make sure you visited each site!)

This 8″ x 7″ wristlet features a felt heart applique (shout out to my guuurrrlll Marcy over at K.a.i-y.a. Designs for her applique lesson over Christmas break!), an 8″ wrist strap, fleece interfacing, a handy inside pocket and finally a matching covered button zipper pull.

I know I’ve said this before, but I love it so much, I don’t know if I will be willing to part with it!

Just a reminder: If you are an AquaSeventy6 fan on Facebook, I am holding a “24 Hour First Dibs” special. I am posting items on my page for 24 hours before listing them in the shop. If you order before the 24 hour window expires (or the item is sold out) you can have it shipped FOR FREE! Check it out!
