2 weeks recap

Thoughts after a month of daily hearts

 It has been an interesting journey so far. I'm glad I chose a simple subject (hearts) as it is easy to use in many different medium. Some days I'm unsure what I want to do  and some creations don't necessarily turn out how I had thought but that's ok. I'm learning and trying different things. I love that I don't have to think about a subject, only about the materials I want to use.

My favourite from this week is definitely the mending I did on a summer dress. There was a small hole on the front, right in the middle and I wanted to do something special. I used the fabric from pyjama pants that had seen better days to "patch" the inside, I hand-stitched the heart and then I cut out the top fabric inside the stitching. It's certainly not perfect but it makes me happy.
