Happy Valentine's Day!...

 

 

...the heart motif is definitely a favourite of mine and this year, to celebrate Valentine's Day, I thought I would play around with it using yarn...

 

+ fabric...

 

 

After several tries at a crochet pattern for a lacy heart, I finally came up with one which I thought would work nicely once laid over fabric, allowing for a good amount of the fabric to show through as you can see here,...

 

 

...here...

 

 

...and here...

 

 

This little hook and stitch project turned out to be such a sweet one as it was all about doing one of my absolute favourite things: combining fabric with yarn...

 

 

And, making it all that much more fun: I wasn't shy about cutting into some of my yummy vintage prints!...

 

 

As an added sweetener, I stuffed the hearts with dried lavender from my garden at the lake (which definitely put a big smile on my face!), making them perfect to hang in closets among clothes and linens... I hope you're enjoying some special Valentine's Day moments today with all those closest to your ❤, and thank you so much for all the ❤ you send my way with all your lovely visits and comments!...

Lovely hearts, lovely blog. I've been away from blogging for a while but have decided this is my writing year, getting back into submitting my short stories to magazines, entering competitions, doing another writing course as a refresher, and getting back too, into blogging, both reading and creating one. So just looking around at pretty, inspriring, colourful, interesting blogs to follow. So many of the ones I used to follow years ago seem to have vanished.
