Felt Valentine's Chair Envelopes










I didn't do much in the way of decorating this year for Heart Day, but I totally fell in love with these and decided they were worth the effort to make since we can have the fun of using them year after year.
I found this wonderful tutorial at
">I Candy Hand Made. Hers are really pretty with the Rick rac.
I decided I like the hand-stitching, though, on the original one from Pottery Barn:

It will be a fun tradition to bring them our on February 1st each year and occasionally fill them with a little surprise!

Baby Owl Bib Gift Set

The Wide Eyed Baby Girl Owl from Embroidery Library was my inspiration for this set.



I found the fabric in my stash and used it both for the trim on the burp cloth and the flower appliqué.


Orange isn't normally my favorite color, but I love it with the pink. The owl was time-consuming, but worth it!
