Some More Valentines

Saturday was the first snowfall of the season!! 
It was the perfect day to stay at home and work on some Valentine crafts..
Here are just a few that I made...


This was yet another in ...  Ah'Hem.... a series of Valentine Tussie Mussie's 
that I have been working on for my swap.  

I used a beautiful white lace and pleated cotton for the base. Then I ruffled some red / white polka dot tulle. I made the medallion by cutting out a fabric trim with hearts and a cherub and added a satin ruffle around it! 


I had this beautiful pink rosette fabric that I wasn't sure what to do with so I made some mini pink pillows... They just came out so darling!!



I altered this image of little people 
and printed them on fabric.. Then added vintage trinkets and lace..





I made these Valentine ornaments out of card stock and added vintage dyed lace all around, then I cut out some more vintage fabric hearts and finished them with fabric rosettes... 

I made this purse out of a piece of chenille and added plush damask heart and silk wings. I used a burlap strap for the strap and added a floral rosette with a vintage rhinestone pin. 




I went out of my usual very safe box and had some fun stitching some crazy stitches all over this heart.  
I think it came out kinda neat...
