I know it's a little early, but for the first time I have a little space to decorate with the changing of the seasons.
I have had the very able assistance of my sister - a very arty crafty person who owns Stitchbird Fabrics. She imports a very delicious, colourful and quirky range of natural fabrics and trims which she sells online and at selected markets. She also has her fabrics made into lampshades, cushions and other treats, so do go and take a look at her website. Follow the link or go to the link to her blog on the sidebar if it's easier for you.
She made me the gorgeous heart hanging for the window - they're really so effective but it's hard to capture their full impact in a photograph.
To mark the day I have really enjoyed making up this Valentines Heart Necklace and Bracelet. I've been planning it for ages, but with Valentines Day around the corner and my sister's window hanging I thought it really was time to complete it. Of course there are earrings to match!
I've also made lots of individual hearts in all sizes and shades of red - just let me know if something takes your fancy!
This is how the window looks from the outside - if you look closely you can see the photographer!
Whatever you do for Valentines Day, whether it's a romantic candle-lit dinner with roses and the whole production or just an extra hug for your lover, or an extra wee treat for yourself if you're single...ENJOY THE DAY!
