But I didn’t throw it away, and several weeks ago, cleaning out the studio — decided what the heck?! Cut it up. Nothing to lose. So I did, added some favorite fabric, ribbons and other doodles. So whatdayaknow, I like it! I feel like I was re-living the commerical – the one with the kids in the (I think it was Life cereal) commercial, who would only eat the cereal if “Mikey” liked it and they would say “Hey Mikey Likes It!”
Well… I like it!
So the picture above shows some of the ideas I auditioned for embellishing the piece. And then, suddenly, an idea occurred to me. I loved the idea of making this pink ‘thing’… into a HEART!
And it becomes “I HEART YOU!”
And it sold~!
End of story! Well not quite.
And just like the “Island of Misfit Toys” ~ just goes to show ya, there’s a place for everything and everyone. Fabric… or toy!

Cool heart!
Aww I love it and the perfect scripture by Robin, you girls rock. I will not throw away my misfits, they may be treasure some day!
I remember the Mikey commercial. 🙂 And I like the heart, too! To think that you were close to throwing it in the trash – trash to treasure! 🙂 Which reminds me of "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" Luke 12:34.
It's lovely! I never throw away anything I think of as a failure because many times I pull them out a year later and make them into something that might end up being one of my favorites.
