Be My Valentine

There is happiness in my
heart
today!
I am just 
tickled pink
with the way the
Valentine Bunting
I made Gabby has turned out :)))
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
In this picture I draped it over
a window I salvaged from an old shed
Scott tore down in our backyard in July.
On Monday I had it hanging over the french doors
leading to my dining room where I spend every
Monday evening
 having the time of my life
with my 
Knit Night Girls :)))
They loved all the happy little hearts!
I attached a pewter stitch marker 
{with hearts on it}
to each end for ease in hanging.
Not only does it slip over a nail
but it gives a bit of weight to each end
in case my daughter wants to simply drape 
it over Gabby's bedroom window
and not use any nails.


The pattern is actually written to be used as individual coasters.
I kept a few out for that purpose as well,



They were addictive to make.
As soon as I finished one 
my crochet hook was digging into another one!



Before long I had quite a collection of hearts :)))
is where you can find the pattern.
Trust me~ 
You'll be 
hooked!

Guess that's all for today Friends!
{I was planning to wait for Valentine's Day to show you this bunting
but found I couldn't wait another moment :) }
Hope you are all 
Happy
Healthy
and
Creating 
all sorts of lovely items today.

  1. Totally sweet and cute heart bunting! Love them in the pink too. Great idea with the stitch markers sewn to the ends. I'll have to remember that one. Have a good weekend! I'm bored out of my mind!
