I have very mixed emotions about Valentines Day. The very commercialization of the day makes me cringe, but I have to realize that my generation had a whole lot to do with that. Also the cheap decorations from China. The beauty of love makes you want to celebrate the day with everyone, your spouse, your family, your friends, your neighbors, your community, your city, your state, your country. Spread the love, right?
The old fashioned valentines are my favorites. Vintage sweetness. I also love the altered anything with a heart thrown on it. The cold and snow have me playing with scraps and I came up with these three hearts. Still trying to use up what I have on hand so sometimes I would think of the perfect thing but I didn't have it so I looked for what I liked and these are what I came up.
This last one is my favorite although the picture shows the red as orange. I am still taking pictures with my iphone and these were taken in the workspace under awful lighting on the desktop. The message of using scrap felt, material, thread, buttons, crocheted pieces and charms comes through. The hearts are about four to six inches across. Not big, not tiny. Just right for a little love.
