Valentine Tussie Mussie Cone Swap 2012 results!!



Here are the results of the Valentines Tussie Mussie Cone Swap that I hosted. 

WOW! Is all I can say! 
The submissions were just over the top 
Fabulous! Amazing!! Gorgeous!! & Creative!! 
I wanted to keep every single one!! I had 30 people join. This was a crazy train for me. I had decided early on I wanted to make everyone a special giftie! So I been also sewing like crazy!! 

I really wanted to show every single thing that everyone included with their swaps. There were some wonderful and generous hostess gifts. Due to the amount of cones submitted for the swap, I will post pictures of the hostess gifts in another blog post as well. If you look at the top of my post page there are tabs. One is titled Valentine Swap 2012. You can go there to see ALL the submissions and DETAIL'S (or just click hereand close ups for each individual tussie mussie. As I mentioned it would be just too much to post them all here and I try to be fair and show all the pictures. I also put a slide show at the bottom of this blog, but it will be the first time I attempted this particular one, so I do not know good it will show all the cones as of yet!! 

OK SOOOOO here we go!!!

Some More Valentines

Saturday was the first snowfall of the season!! 
It was the perfect day to stay at home and work on some Valentine crafts..
Here are just a few that I made...


This was yet another in ...  Ah'Hem.... a series of Valentine Tussie Mussie's 
that I have been working on for my swap.  

I used a beautiful white lace and pleated cotton for the base. Then I ruffled some red / white polka dot tulle. I made the medallion by cutting out a fabric trim with hearts and a cherub and added a satin ruffle around it! 


I had this beautiful pink rosette fabric that I wasn't sure what to do with so I made some mini pink pillows... They just came out so darling!!



I altered this image of little people 
and printed them on fabric.. Then added vintage trinkets and lace..





I made these Valentine ornaments out of card stock and added vintage dyed lace all around, then I cut out some more vintage fabric hearts and finished them with fabric rosettes... 

I made this purse out of a piece of chenille and added plush damask heart and silk wings. I used a burlap strap for the strap and added a floral rosette with a vintage rhinestone pin. 




I went out of my usual very safe box and had some fun stitching some crazy stitches all over this heart.  
I think it came out kinda neat...
