~ Valentine Garland ~

Hi everyone. Here is my Valentine garland I made over the weekend. These garlands are so fun to do and easy too. You saw the fabric strips I had cut, well you need to cut a bunch of them....1" wide by 7" long. After you've cut your strips just tie them onto a piece of twine and then embellish... I added some heart cookie cutters for fun, but the skies the limit, but you really don't need to add anything. These garlands are pretty on their own. The little yellow shelf is in my kitchen and is hanging over the arch way into our family room. Speaking of my kitchen let me show you my newest nesting chick.

The is the first black chick I've ever seen, he was a Christmas gift from Carl. I love him! Check out the watermelon slices on the left (click on the picture) the seeds are hearts, too cute. I found the black pepper shaker ...

and this sweet rug a couple of weeks ago at the WX Peddlers Faire. It's a little frayed on one edge but that just adds to it's charm. Have a happy day...tonight is SAL...I think everyone has their homework done...and that's a good feeeling. Oh, before I go I wanted to tell you I found the garland idea on sweet Sharon's blog...she has the neatest ideas....go by for a visit, you are sure to enjoy. Until we chatter again...hugs, Linda
