Hello. I finished my decorative hearts this morning at crafty club, they are easy to make. I like short projects which can be whipped up in no time. Two larger felt hearts and one smaller one. Add some small beads for embellishment, stitch the back and front together, with a length of ribbon through the middle from top to bottom, and stuff them. Add a few colourful beads to the end of the ribbon. 





The possibilities are endless with these. Matching or contrasting felt, lace, buttons, sequins, beads, embroidery, can all be used for decoration. You can string them vertically or horizontally. Make one heart into a key ring fob. Make several into a baby's mobile hanging from the pram or cot, without the beads which might be pulled off of course. Sew them onto a little girls handbag. Let your imagination run wild with a simple shape like a heart. 

While on the theme of hearts, I've picked out a video for you. Such a beautiful and powerful rendition of the Titanic theme. Enjoy.


The library van is here, I'm off to see Stan for a natter. Catch you later.
