garland... a handful of hearts

with the ending of each season, my mind begins to spin with ideas for new garlands... i knew for valentines day, hearts would be the most expected...
 but i knew that i didn't want to use felt like i did with the trees... the pumpkins had such cute detailing with their stems and green, twirly vines... the posies have unique button centers...
 
i wanted to create something that had some dimension... years ago, i made a series of valentine's day t-shirts for one of maizie's sweet, pre-school teachers... each shirt featured a bunchy, ruffly heart in different pinks and reds... i had forgotten about them, until my mom mentioned that maybe that design would make a cute heart garland...
 
i gave it a try and love how they're turning out...
i've started a production line...

so many fun patterns and designs...
i found a few more fabrics to incorporate during my late night trip to the fabric store on monday evening...
these will be keeping me busy over the next few weeks... for that i am thankful...
 
how do you decorate for valentine's day?
