Heartfelt February ~ Day 25

This morning I woke up to a sight I have not yet seen this winter -


 Trees frosted with snow!!


Although we've had plenty of snow this year, I've missed the "icing" effect that I love so much.
I'm glad I took pictures early this morning because, already, melting has left the branches bare again.

For today's heart, I decided to make a flower with heart shaped petals.

I made two layers, some leaves, and fashioned them all into a corsage,

which can also be used as a hat for Rosie!!


I can tell that she feels very pretty!

Hope your day is a good one!!

Heartfelt February ~ Day 24

Today's clever hearts were made by my dear friend, Elaine.


Cut paper artwork by Elaine Lowry

Elaine enjoys puzzles, and her kitty, Honeybee, inspired these cut paper
pieces by her active "participation" in the process!! 

Hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend!

Heartfelt February ~ Day 20


This is a heart I made several years ago. I always loved it, but I made it
into an ATC and traded it. I should really make it again to keep.

Hope you are enjoying your day!!

Heartfelt February ~ Day 19


I finished embroidering this little heart on a dishtowel just before the light 
left my back porch for the day - right in the nick of time to take a photograph!
One of my goals for this year is to improve my hand embroidery, so this is a start.

I'm enjoying my theme for this month - hearts are fun to do - and I'm thinking of setting a theme for March. I'm actually excited each day, thinking about what I'll make and being excited by creativity gives me a little buzz. Of course, I'm also doing all the things I usually do, but in the back of my mind, I'm looking forward to the time in the day when I can sit down and create.

A very nice way to spend the winter!

Hope you've had a wonderful day!

Heartfelt February ~ Day 18

Yes, I'm planning to make hearts until the end of February!


This is a lace heart, with a lace trim, which I made this morning.
It's not the best photo, but when I went to take another one,
the heart had (I think) slipped behind my dresser, as I had hung it on the mirror 
with a suction cup. If and when I find it, I'll take another picture!

Hope you're having a great day!
