some recent projects

So I'm finally getting around to posting these projects I've had in the works for so long.  There were some problems and speedbumps along the way.  But they are mostly done except for the one the kids decided was too cute to leave alone, and essentially destroyed.  {sigh}

a valentine garland from construction paper.  As usual, I didn't finish it.  If it was a bit longer, it would hang better, but, oh well.

Some yarn hearts made with cornstarch glue.  A friend showed me the idea in the February edition of Family Fun magazine.  The kids did NOT enjoy making this, but I did.

Then, I've been working on two projects for a friend.  End results will be revealed soon.

Now for the grand finale.  I was dying to make this:

I also got a new table for the entry at TJ Maxx.  LOOOOOVE it!

But now, after three kids got hungry for some sweets, I was left with this:

Such is life.  I'll try to do better about posting ideas for projects as I find them.  You might want to try them too.  

Happy Crafting!!!!!
