handmade- after a week long of evening times spent making different Valentines for different folks, Jasper's handmade heart made my heart grow 3 sizes this week, and we are still not quite done!
He started off wanting to make his daddy a pillow- this was out of the blue but he asked for the password to the fabric stash in my studio, needle, thread, and some help from mama. He did the cutting, sewing, and drawing (love those fabric pastels) and I helped him sew the 2 pieces together at the finish. I knew he could not hold out till tomorrow- he was so excited to give it to daddy he surprised him the other night!
This year for his Valentines for classmates he got cardstock in his favorite color- the password for my rubber stamp stash and stamped and wrote out each friends name. I had some extra wood hearts left, and so we drilled holes and put each friends initial on them and then we strung them on some fun eco yarn we got from one of our favorite local yarn shops.
His little fingers we all inky last night when we finished!
**Boxed Valentines from Walmart .99 cents
**Handmade Valentines made over the course of 3 evenings- priceless!
