Rainbow

Day #273
Heart #478

There was a small strip of fabric left from the Rainbow Bag, so I used part of it to make this bright heart.

Eighteen More

Day #241
Hearts #295-312

Another day, another 18 hearts!  These will all be going out in the mail today in Hope Hearts starter kits.



I am purposely avoiding the color pink as I make these hearts, and any prints that look really girly, because in most cases I don't know if the recipient will be male or female; but a few people have told me that they are making hearts for a female friend, so I have a few pink hearts like the one on the left.  I'm also still making crazy bright hearts like the yellow one on the right.  Do you see the little "hope" charm in the middle of it?  I bought 100 of them from Hidden Treasure Jewelry on Etsy.  I highly recommend this store because the owner ships FAST!  Two hours after I placed my order, I got an email saying it had been sent!!  I love that about small businesses!  Her prices are very reasonable too.

Outgoing Mail

Day #238
Hearts #264-275

The response to my offer of a Hope Hearts starter kit, free for the asking, has been great!  I'm very busy sewing hearts to go in the kits; here are the ones I made last night.


I decided to go bright and happy with the colors, can you tell??  The green ones look like a crayon box exploded!

I also decided to use rubber stamp alphabet letters to write the word "hope" on the small hearts. It's a nice contrast to the other two hearts that will be in each kit.


If you would like to request a Hope Hearts kit, just send me your mailing address (leslieandersen4@gmail.com).  I'll get it in the mail within a few days, and you will have the information you need to start sewing your own hearts to fill a jar for someone who is ill.

These two wool-felt scissors fobs go together in theme, so they are being presented together.  Thanks to Kay for suggesting these!
