Hanging Hearts

I am definitely in my happy place.

A month till Valentines - time to decorate!

I loved the hang your heart garland on Little Birdie Secrets and decided to copy her. Well, except for the fact that she had a real pattern and real sewing skills. But pretty much copy.

I decided on a shabbier look by using various scrap fabrics instead of being all matchy-matchy and I totally love it!  I found all the pinks and browns I could.  Some are felt and some are cotton.  All have ribbon for hanging and are stuffed with batting and no two are alike.

My only real issue was hand-finishing that little part of the seam that

you leave open to turn right side out and stuff it.  How in the world

do you make that part look good?

After I strung them on a ribbon we used a thumb tack to attach

it to the top of the shelf on each side.  It worked perfectly.

I think I forgot to mention my intent to bore you with too many pics.  I couldn't help myself.

And here is the loveliness at night.
