A heart to share

I admit I am crazy for hearts lately.  I'm crocheting them like mad and enjoying every minute!  I have friends coming over next weekend for our monthly get-together and I'll certainly have to plan a project that has a heart for everyone!  For now, I placed one on this Valentine to share with you today.

I love our striped ribbon as much today as when it first came out.  I love how it feels and it ties so beautifully.  Paired up with red satin makes for an incredible bow.  The white "doily" beneath is new - cut with the Paper Doily die...a touch of ink on the edges makes it shabby.  Layered on top is a calendar print from the Beau Chateau Side Notes collection.



I crocheted the heart with red twine and love how it turned out with a vintage country feel.  Another button and the perfect greeting with pearls makes it complete.


Thanks for your patience as I work through my Valentine craze.  How about something in pink?

Enjoy your weekend!
