Hanging from atop the bookcases, these cute hearts almost look like cookies. Instead they are felt confections hung by a pearl bead strand. Blanket, lazy daisy and and chain stitches are combined for a simple clean look. In fact, Valentine's Day decorations are welcome in my house for the very reason that they ARE simple, after the more elaborate (but no less loved) trappings of Christmas. The floral basket shown below, was easily adapted from one holiday to the next. Because red and gold figured prominently in the display, adding a similarly hued heart proclaiming a Valentine sentiment, transitioned the piece nicely from one winter holiday to the next.
