I know what you are thinking; this post is about the
impending holiday known as Valentine’s Day.
I mean yeah, it’s February and this post is going to have some crafty
heart decorations but it’s really just about romance which is nice since its cold (or at least
cold-ish) outside and cute decorations because even single people can love cute
decorations. I just don’t like Valentine’s Day where people are forced to buy
overpriced flowers and candy and diamonds and such just because a certain day
of the year rolls around. It’s
silliness.
Anyway, last Sunday I was totally sidelined with a crazy bad
headache caused by an incredible knot in the suboccipitals on the left side of
my neck (oh, and a bit of a hangover from the 3 drinks I had over a span of
about 4 hours the night before). This
had me going back and forth between the couch and the bed as I tried to sleep
and not move too much. I was chatting
with Jamie from ReallyReally Blog, who was lamenting her lack of seasonal
decorations since her Mark had just taken down their Christmas lights and porch
pumpkin at the same time. This and the
romantic comedies I had been Netflixing all day (One for the Money, Beauty and
the Briefcase, No Strings Attached and Decoy Bride) made me realize that my place could use
a little jazzing up.
So to Pinterest
I went! I searched my “Winter” board (I don’t
have boards for specific holidays I just have a board for each season and place
holiday pins on the board for the season in which they occur) and found this pin from Martha
Stewart.
So I busted out the crayons.
Once I had my little hearts made I used red thread, scotch
tape and a food skewer (just the kind you can buy at Kroger). I taped the thread to the hearts and then
used little dabs of glue to hold the thread to the skewer.
Then I just placed the skewer behind the lock on the window
and voila!

Special Note: You guys know Mark likes to skate. I
decided to accompany him to Ollie’s Skatepark in Florence and this has afforded
me lots of time to catch up on my blog, so you can know that this post as well
as a few you’ll see in the coming days and weeks were all created on site at
Ollies.
Nice hearts! Still season-less at our house! Unless you count the pumpkin shriveling away in the backyard which I gaze at affectionately. I wonder how long he'll last! I didn't want to put it in the compost since it's pretty full.
ReplyDeleteThese are cute! You are so crafty.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have very many decorations at all in our house. We have a lot of Christmas stuff, but this year I didn't put it all out because I didn't want to have to put it all away. Is that bad?
