You have a lot of great ideas, we have a nursing home ministry and you wouldn't believe the smiles and even tears when you give them a simple gift.
How bout having a "HOLIDAY Tree" (table size) Ya know the bare branches with the "special" ornaments that you change with each holiday...ie: Valentines, St. Pat's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day etc...You Wouldn't have to take it down, just change holidays...ya could even put the lights on that ya change to color bulbs for each holiday....
You got some great answers, so I will just give you a *.........
I'm with you, can't stay away from the machine and stitch out a lot of nice things I don't know what to do with. So they end up in the stash for quilts or are stuck on a card. :-(
Hello Teri, FSL hearts are always good for Valentine cards, of coarse, pillows, key chains, bookmarks, tucked inside a card, clothes (from shirts to jeans), wall hanings, picture frames, several stitch together for doilies and numberous other things - have fun be creative.
I can only think making cards with FSL hearts...Maybe someone comes up with good ideas.
You can use them on heirloom quilts, wall hangings,cushion covers. You can use any FSL designs, eg hearts, flowers, butterflies etc.

Great ideas on that site although some projects are a bit to ornate to my taste.
They are a bit for me too, but They can be modified to suit you. Get a few ideas from them, though.
Glad to hear I am not the only one that can't stay away from the machine. I have been making Christmas ornaments for nest year and thinking of what else i can do. I just ordered 131 yards of WSS yesterday so i can get started seriously with the FSL ornaments. I will post what i have done in the last couple of days on Monday.
