Angel

Day #207
Heart #216

Last week, when I posted the "air mail" heart (which featured an envelope with wings), Lime Riot commented that she would like to see one of my wool felt scissors fobs with actual wings on the sides.  Great idea!  I added an embroidered halo and made it an angel heart.

Mustache

Day # 203
Heart #212

Mustaches have been a popular theme for a few years, but I have never seen the appeal--until it occurred to me that a mustache might look really funny on a heart!  I like the way this one came out; it looks like it is smiling.

Heart #211

I love the "Swap Organizer" felt badge that Sewphie made for me so much that I used her "flying envelope" idea for today's wool felt scissors fob.

A Little Boat and The Whole Jar

Day #187
Heart #195

I intended to post this two days ago, when I posted all the fobs on my other blog--but I forgot!!  So here is the jar of fobs, as promised.

Today I have a little boat scissors fob to show you.  As with all these fobs, this is made from wool felt, embroidery floss, sewing thread, baker's twine, polyfill, and imagination!

And now, to show off my pint-size jar FULL of scissors fobs!  How many are in here, you ask?  The only person who ventured a guess was Diane (aka fiddlegirl8); she guessed 44...the actual number is...34!

Mushrooms

Day #180
Heart #190

One more hand-made, heart-shaped, wool-felt scissors fob for my jar...today, it's cute little mushrooms!

Layered Hearts

Day #177
Hearts #160-162

Here are three more heart-shaped, wool-felt scissors fobs.  The layers of color make them pretty, especially in a group like this!

Sewing Machine #2

Day #176
Heart #159


Here it is--the pink sewing machine on a white background.  I like this one better! 

As with all the hearts in this scissors fob series, this one is made from wool felt, embroidery floss, sewing thread, baker's twine, and stuffing.

Button Flowers

Day #174
Heart #157

Here's one more heart-shaped wool-felt scissors fob for my collection.  The simple button flowers are completed with embroidery.  It was quick and easy to make since I didn't have to cut out any tiny shapes from felt!  (I cut the background hearts using my Sizzix machine with a heart-shaped die.)

Kay has asked (and some of you may have wondered):  what do I plan to do with all these scissors fobs?  The answer is, there is no plan!  They might end up in my jar of hearts, or I might use them on the alphabet heart garland I plan to put together when I have time. Maybe I will give some away, or use them as ornaments on a table-top Christmas tree.

I enjoy looking at these little fobs as a group, because they are so tiny and cute, so I will do a post about them on my other blog (Leslie's Art and Sew) when I have a few more--that way you can see them all together too!

Apple Tree

Day #172
Heart #155

I'm currently working on a big batch of hearts that will get me all caught up on my numbers for this challenge--yay!  They should be done within the week, and in the meantime, I continue to enjoy making one small, heart-shaped, wool-felt scissors-fob every evening.  I made this apple tree last night:
