has said to themselves at least once, "Well, I guess I won't be making these for sale!" because the item just took so stinkin' much time or the supplies were too costly that you couldn't begin to get your money out of it. Right? Well, I've found a solution (other than giving them to friends and family like I usually do). Let the items sit doing nothing for a year! 
The tricky part is to be lucky enough to come across them in time if they're holiday themed. This weekend I happened upon these fabric valentines
and these paper ones
that I'd made last year just 'cause I felt like it but THIS year I have the etsy option AND I've all but forgotten the time that went into them...now I just want to find them good homes! (okay, AND make a little money from them). ;-) go take a peek!
Sweet, sweet Valentines!!! I love them all-especially that red heart! xo-Mel

Great idea!! I do have ALOT of those kinds of projects. As a matter of fact, sometimes I can hear tiny voices saying, "let me out, let me out". It must be those lil tossed out projects from long ago.
Love your blog, I'll be back for sure.

Your valentines are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Did you make that butterfly, raggy flower quilt? I LOVE THAT SO MUCH!!!!! If you did, teach me! I would die happy if I ever made a quilt like that. Thanks for the kind words about the shower. It did go well. My friend has an adorable shabby house, so most of the decorating was almost done-YEAH!!!!
