#67 i {heart} u

it's february and valentine's day is just around the corner, 

thanks to snow days, 

i was able to put together decorations for valentine's day

just loving the neutral colors at home ---

so for the season of {hearts} 

it's all but color red

and opted for the 

calming colors of white, gray & beige
{heart} shapes are all over

i {heart} u wood wall art
 i made with pine wood scraps,
you can create your own wall art 
using your own love words and passages 
visit my tutorial here.

this wreath has been transformed with every change of the season 
by just changing the ribbon,
and for valentine's day, i stamped a burlap ribbon 
using a {heart}-shaped rubber eraser dipped on white acrylic paint
(my kids usually get these erasers from classmates' party favors - 
they come in different shapes, 
i'm sure you have one somewhere ☺)

i cut musical scrapbook paper in {heart} shape and 

put together with a baker's twine 

to make the garland for the mantle

using 2 coordinating fabrics ( i love polka dots)
i made these 20x20 pillows with {heart} applique

i just have to try these little crochet {hearts}

(click here for free pattern)

they are very easy to make-

try them in different colors

#14 just the right thing

when you just can't get the right size, the right color, 

the right word and the right feel - of a home decor or accessory 

• just make it yourself •

got my stuff from the craft store •
these 5 pcs cost less than $2

did a little sanding on the corners and assembled them

glued them together and spray-painted with the
same paint i used with the other accessories

hang it and enjoy!

i got the fleur-de-lis in brown and the bird cage in blue

(50% off but not exactly what i was looking for)

spray-painted them all with creamy-white paint

and for just less than half an hour •

i got what i wanted and i'm loving it
