What says love more on Valentine's Day than a
H E A R T???
{okay, a heart shaped box of chocolates is even better}
And, .... um ... oh yes... Diamonds? ... and .... Rubies?
I cut out a herd of hearts
from felted wool
{that sounds prettier than shrunken wool thrift store sweaters}
and attached vintage jewels to some
Soft Wool and Vintage Sparkle
a perfect marriage of texture and design
Here's one attached to a small package
... and inside ...
a necklace I made for a friend,
to say:
Happy Valentine's Day with Love!
and below,
this will make my felted heart necklace look a bit,
shall we say, boring.
{recipient of above necklace, do not read any further}
tee-heeeeeeee!!!!!!
My Valentines Gift
from my husband
~ A Betsey Johnson necklace!
I know! doesn't he have exquisite taste?
Me on cell phone from T.J.'s:
"Hi dear one!
I just found the most wonderful Valentine's gift
for myself! I love it!
You won't have to go shopping!
I'd rather have this than flowers, it will last longer!"
His reply, with some relief in his voice:
"What is it?"
Me: "The most beautiful necklace!
and it has hearts with VIOLETS on it!"
Him: "Okay, get it."
Me: {with inner happy dance} "YAY!!!!!!"
the end.
Isn't that the most wonderful
Valentines Day Gift story you've ever heard?!?
Okay, probably not, but it works for me.
