paper and thread valentines
January 6, 2013
it’s no surprise that I’d start working on valentine crafts even before all the Christmas trees are put away.
.
.
can’t help myself. every time I sketch out a new idea in my notebook I just want to try it out. I love this cute pink and white argyle pattern.
..
.
and I absolutely love this trio of squiggly hearts – they were the result of a different idea that didn’t work out so well on first attempt.
.
.
and I love adding vintage keys to valentines too. Cristybella and I found them at last spring’s Round Top antiques market.
thank you for dropping by – hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

home sweet homemade 
AUGHH!!! And here I am folding bitty pieces of paper to make a paper pine cone– You’re on Valentines already…..
YES I KNOW I need to move on to the next holiday!
*sigh*
I’ll let ya know how/IF the pinecone works–but I’m a TAD late on the ‘making for the holiday’ bit…….OR–I’m exceptionally early?
k…..I’ll be exceptionally early! 😉
Oh, but these are lovely.
I like them all! (go figure…….LOL)
I’m very intrigued about the paper pine cone – sounds like it could be a wintry garland for a mirror or bed, so I’d say your timing is perfect!
You GO, girl!
“and I absolutely love this trio of squiggly hearts”
I DO TOO!!!!!!!!!!!
And Diane, that last one with the key?
BEYOND faaaaaaaaabulous!!!
Truly, you are so talented!
X to you and Cristybella!
P.S. Have you ever thought of opening an Etsy Shop and selling your creations? Just a thought…..x
I think i am going to try to make some of these, thank you for the idea ,LOVE !!
The stitched hearts are such a good idea, and look stunning.
thank you Ginny – they’re so fun to make, I’m constantly thinking of ways add interest to cross stitch. Valentines are the perfect opportunity 🙂
I love how these turned out, the argyle is awesome!
