A Jarfull of Fobs

Good challenge, and what an amazing selection you've come up with! Do you have that many scissors?   The citrus ones are especially interesting, but I love them all.

Well, no, I don't have that many scissors...but the challenge is the challenge, and I have to make a heart a day whether I have a use for it or not.  Most of these will probably be used simply as ornaments, and my future swap partners may be seeing them in person...!

BirdBones--thanks for your suggestions!  I can't believe you thought up that many hearts!

These are adorable! My favorites are the fruits and the lady bug on the light green leaf. The fried egg is pretty funny too.

Heart Suggestions:

1. Some bacon or pancakes to go with that egg.
2. A caterpillar, chrysalis, and then a butterfly
3. The four seasons
4. egg, chick/duckling, chicken/duck
5. Tea bag 
6. If you can't think of things you could go through the alphabet and pick something that starts with each letter. (I would love to see an x-ray one)
7. You could do the same thing with colors if you can't think of something. Pick a random color and then make something in that color.

Can't wait to see more! Hope our suggestions help.

These are awesome, Leslie!!  Love them

So many great ideas, Gr33nT3a!  I actually have already gone through the alphabet with larger fabric hearts for this challenge, using fabrics with items that start with each letter--here's a picture of those:



The "x" was a Valentine's Day fabric with x's and o's (you know, for hugs and kisses!)--that was the best I could do.

The alphabet hearts are amazingly pretty!

And I bow to you accepting the challenge- a heart a day sounds like something that keeps one happy and thinking good thoughts

Pretty, cute, awesome. LOVE the kiwi.

Thoughts on themes... sea creatures, toys, robots.

ooh and what a cool baby mobile you could make with these!

I just have to say that I LOVE everything you make and these are no exception!!  So tiny and cute!!  Awesome idea!!

[Homerof2]

Fantastic!  There are so many of them I just love.

The letter hearts are too cute, and you get 10 bonus points for placement on the "O" heart.

Love all the hearts leslie, but my favorites are the strawberry and kiwi!  Hmmm, how about an "art heart"?  Like a stitched version of a favorite work of art.  Starry Night as a heart, the Mona Lisa as a heart, etc.  Comedy & Tragedy would be fun on opposite sides of a single heart.  Mythological themes?  A Medusa heart would be very fun. A house heart, since home is where your heart is. How about "Sweet Hearts" with favorite candies or chocolates on them?

And I just gotta put this out there....  How about doing a swap based on your lovely hearts?  Either everyone makes and sends a single heart to their partner, or perhaps even groups of swappers like some of the ATC or supply swaps.  Everyone makes and sends 5 hearts?  It would be interesting to see what so many creative minds could come up with based on your lovely idea!
