(I know- the quality of the pics is heinous. I *will* learn to use my camera + Photoshop properly, but that isn't gonna happen for another 5 months or so. Bear with me. I think you can click on the pics for a better view.)On Saturday, I was feeling crafty and looking to procrastinate working on my dissertation (surprise, huh?). I had some felt, and remembered that Monica often features felt-y crafts. I searched and found this Thanksgiving banner that I loved. So, I decided to make this Valentine's Day banner with felt and other materials that I had laying around. The 'L' is going to be some gold fancy buttons that I cut off of a ruined sweater- the bits of blue that you see are from the sweater and will be removed. I also used other scraps of felt, lace, buttons, ribbon, and a couple of crocheted yarn chains. I used pinking shears on the edge of each block, since I have an unholy love for all things pinked. Or is it pinking sheared? I still need to sew on the 'L', decide what kind of ribbon or twine that I want to use to hang it, and find some cute clips to attach it. The total cost to me was about forty cents.

SUPER cute! Great job! I was mulling around an idea like this yesterday - and I don't think I'll get it done this year, but I was pondering Easter...
