day 365 - the victorious final day!
 |
| to commemorate my crazy project i decided a tattoo would be a fitting final day. i was hesitating since if i had someone else do the tattoo, i wouldn't have truly made it myself. then a friend of a friend said she'd show me how, and i was able to do it myself! because this journey was so near and dear to my heart :), it is a happy and perfect reminder of what i accomplished, and what i am capable of when i set my mind to an idea. i hope you've enjoyed the ride, too. |

day 364
 |
| i felt like creating a little piece of art, since i am almost done with my project. i made a collage from fabric, a snip of an old book, ribbon, some findings, and colorful paper. the gaudy little frame seemed just right |

| it actually took 3 of us to pull this off - a pair of hands, someone to arrange the string, and someone to take the picture! |

day 362
 |
| trying to bend the tines of a vintage fork just gave me blisters, so i resorted to heating the tines of a plastic fork over a candle - i got my heart, and much happier hands |

| this is what happens to skittles when you microwave them. if you then stir them a bit and let them cool, it looks like stained glass! |

| not as pretty as i'd hoped, but i made a little inlet leading to a heart-shaped pool for the cream to flow into in the chocolate fondue |

 |
| the seafood counter person was a little mystified when i ordered just one oyster, but the string of pearls needed just the right setting! (i also had to learn how to shuck an oyster - ew) |

 |
| these old springs were very resistant to being bent out of their comfort zone. i secured them to the wood with a staple gun, then allowed my volatile heart to live outside of the house, where weeks later, it sprung its hold (as i suspected it would!) |
