I've been noticing a lot of pretty hearts popping up all over the internet on blogs and Facebook so I thought I'd share with you my 2 little felt heart pins I made years ago. I wear them every year near Valentines Day. Someone where I worked saw me working on these little hearts and asked me if I wanted some more sequins that had been given to them but they'd never used them. I said "Sure!" and the next day they brought me in this bag with a massive collection of vintage sequins. I made Valentine pins, Easter pins and one St. Patrick's pin. Fun stuff. These are definitely amateurish but I like them anyway.
I made one for my sister that says "Hug Me" and when she wears it she picks out the most handsome men to show the pin to and gets lots of extra hugs. LOL
On Facebook one of my friends has been obsessing with hearts and is making a Valentine tree, and sewing lots of felt hearts with beads and embroidery. Her name is Penny Sanford Fikes and she is a porcelain artist and has an Etsy shop. I noticed that her heart photos are on facebook but not on her website. I also have a stained glass piece that I made with 3 hearts in it, must get a photo of that. I put 3 hearts in it as I have 3 kids and they are my valentines. :-)
I've been sidelined for the last week or so with a sprained ligament in my knee, so I've gotten to work on my never-ending granny stripe blanket and I'm.... ::GASP:: on my last row!! So, I am about to pick it back up and finish that row and then begin on the border. I have decided on a very narrow border so I can put this blanket to rest... and be done.. then I will do a TA-DAH photo session and show it to you finished. Wow, I've been working on it since last summer! LOL
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.. ((hugs)) Teresa

ReplyDeleteLovely valentines hearts, if you like hearts you should check out this website called Heart & Parcel - everything is hearts! I love it :-D And I noticed you can change between the UK and US site so they should deliver to the states yay!
Your hearts are very sweet. And love the granny stripe. I am about to start a baby granny stripe for one of the teachers at school. I had knee surgery when I was a teenager and have had problems ever since. Take care of that knee! Hope you are having a great day. Tammy
