I made a few more zipper heart pins for the swap. One of my guy friends asked me about buying one for his wife so I made enough for both swaps and one for him. Then I decided to keep one for myself so had to make another, and ended up with six. One good thing about it being FREEZING COLD out - no guilt trips about not going outside and doing 'stuff'. Just stay in where it's safe and warm! In case you are wondering what I consider cold, well, it's negative 51 today, that's 51 degrees below zero (Farenheit). -51. Brrrrrr.

This is the one I'm keeping for myself:

-51 degrees? Oh my. I don't even want to so much as think about it!! Want to say how great your hearts are.

I can't say you spoiled all my FUN though because I'm so glad to see you wrote something! LOL! Your hearts are awesome! And, while you KNOW I'm a red kinda gal, my favorite is exactly the one YOU chose to keep! Very pretty, each & every one! WEATHER: I keep up with your daily temperature so that every time my daughter whines about the temp in Duluth, MN., I can say, "WIMP! Jude's high today was ____!!! Put on a sweater & get over it!" (BWAHAHAHA! Bad, bad mommy, huh?) Love you!! And POST more often! 'K?

Posted by: Kay Warner at January 31, 2012 3:37 AMOh, boy....I hope we don't all of a sudden get winter...we have been spoiled this season.... can you believe it was up to+12C the other day? in January! in Calgary! and we are having plus numbers all week...with hardly any snow on the ground at all now...not good....not good at all for the plants and trees if it drops to -35C like we should be having right now.
Love the golden heart in the last photo Judi.... these are great....good ideas for the zippers....

Posted by: Robyn Coburn at February 2, 2012 7:49 PMReally love these, Judi!! They're so fun! I am so sorry you have to take a break creatively. I am wishing a speedy recovery to you, and try hard not to go too batty!
Posted by: Bonnie Fontaine at February 3, 2012 11:46 AMWow. Your hearts are fantastic! I just can't imagine how cold it is. I'd never leave the house if it was like that!!!
I am going to try to make a heart before VDay arrives. One. That's what I'm shooting for.
