Have a heart...

I don't know about you - but I am amazed when I "shop"

my house - what I can find!  I started on a little hunt around

the house for hearts for Valentine's Day....I find I have

quite a few!

I found this great wire heart-shaped basket that I got at

a thrift store some time ago and had intended to paint. 

I also found this turquoise heart - it normally sits in a little wire

basket in my ensuite bathroom. 

And then there's this little wire cage heart that opens up - this

one I did intend to paint and still will but in the meantime

isn't it cute?

I was inspired by all of YOU  to make some of my own

rustic hearts.....(while watching "The Voice" the

other night)

And finally - when all else fails and you want to do something

for a little occasion like Valentine's Day - hit the dollar stores!

These cute little clothes pegs were a dollar a package!

I am pretty sure this weekend will see me digging out more

from around the house because....

You gotta have heart!

*corny I know*

I'm with Oprah....

So there I am....the queen of failure and

even featured as thus.....

And, that makes me happy!  If I never

tried, I would always wonder.  Now I know

for certain I can sew "almost" anything (just

not fitted slipcovers....!)

Yup, my name is Peggy and I challenged

the impossible by imagining the possible and

found it was, er, well....impossible.

Thank you so much to the fabulous hosts of

the challenge and please know - next time I

will kick some serious sewing *ss!

So it really WAS impossible....(epic fail :)

Can you say "Epic Fail"?  I had challenged myself to make

slip covers for these two cute little wing chairs that turned

into bendy-twisted demon chairs!

I tried....

The outcome was er, well hideous.....I hang my head in sewing shame

and pick up my phone to dial Sears to order some slipcovers......

Hee,hee....it really wasn't that dramatic but something, somewhere did

go horribly wrong and let's just say it was.....an epic fail!

Lesson learned:  Peggy can't sew freestyle....whahoo!

Love all the great projects that DID turn out and next time....look out!

(cause I will hire a professional....hee,hee!)
