I've really enjoyed making my wreaths for Christmas so thought I'd try a different shape. I bought some hearts, did some crochet, added some ribbon and a tiny bell.
It's smaller than my circular wreaths, but still a nice size to hang on the wall on as a decoration.
Wonder what other shapes I can crochet around... maybe I'm a yarn bomber in the making... no, too cold out there!
When I was tidying up my craft storage area (aka the dining room) I came across some sweet bird fabric. I'm not sure what the original plan for it was, if any, but thought it would look cute as part of a little owl.
They are rather sweet little birds aren't they. I thought they would be a bit overpowering on the front though, so used it for the back and the wings.
I have a basket with lots of felt pieces that need some attention, so I think I may spend this evening sewing something feltie!
Take care

The heart looks great, and it's something you can display throughout the year. I love your little own, that fabric is just the job.

A lovely post with cheery colours and happy projects! The heart is so cute...I'd yarn bomb, too, if it weren't so cold...maybe some indoor yarn bombing, like in a supermarket or the library? ;-) Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteYour heart wreath is so lovely Cheryl, I really like it and think it's very appropriate for any time of year, and your little owl is absolutely adorable - I want one, or more, of those - you have inspired me but now I have to make time somehow, and everything seems to be taking so long to do and everything getting more behind! Ooooooops! We're all in the same boat aren't we? Have a lovely day, Joy x
ReplyDeleteLovely wreath Cheryl! The owl is very cute :) x

Hello lovely Cheryl. Firstly thank you so much for my book, I was so chuffed when it came through the post and apologies for not getting this message sooner. Last week was a bit of a write off for me. I love the book and can't wait to make a few things from it. Your little heart is gorgeous and it makes a really lovely wreath, well done. I also have some of that gorgeous owl print fabric in my stash and I love what you have done with yours, it is really sweet! I hope you have a good week and a good advent xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely little heart wreath, perfectly festive.
