Warm Hearts : : Earlier today my two youngest and I decided to do a little crafting together. What we made, we are calling "warm hearts" -- named by Jacob and loved by all of us. This turned out to be the perfect project, for this snowy day, so I had to share!

Here is what we did... What you'll need -- basic sewing supplies (sewing machine, scissors, needle, thread), scrap fabric, wool felt scraps, and flax seed, ours is a combination of flax and a bit of sesame seed. (You can also add lavender, chamomile, or any other aromatic ingredients that you would add when making a sachet.) After the kids picked out their fabrics (warning : : this can take a while : ), we cut two large hearts from the wool felt and then a smaller heart from the fabric.

Amazing Pacman Poster Illusion! Upcycle: Book folding - Free patterns. I love books. I am a "reader" in every sense of the word - I devoured them as child, I have a PhD in linguistics, I was a reading teacher for 7 years, I'm a marketing writer, I have a kid's book "in the works"... and so on. However, there are mountains of old books out there that will never be read again. Never. It's a truth, no matter how bookish you think you are. Apartment Therapy (Green Living) recently posed the question: Yes or No? So, I point you to yet another AT (GL) writer who dedicated a post to Guy Laramee's Carved Book Landscapes. There once was a magazine called Budget Living that folded pretty quickly (!). Decorating with books in unusual ways was one of those ideas.

Thanks to Budget Living, I've made quite a few "book folds" for myself - they decorate a wall in my home (pictured below). Happy folding! Look to inspire - page 2.
