I know someone who is reknown for making sequin brooches and pendants and her prices start in the $300’s for completed ones and the kits to make yourself sells for over $100.

I can’t wait to try the chocolate cherry cake. 

In middle school, my friends got crocheted heart pin cushions for Valentines. 

Check out the filet animal patterns! they would make cute pillows too.
