Christmas Hearts

Hi! Is everyone very, very busy? Sit for a moment, come visit the beach....

I made a few Christmas hearts the other day and got them up on etsy. No eBay right now, their shipping requirements are too stringent.

I did rustic burlap hearts...

I loved this fabric but it was too harsh for throw pillows, better used in small projects.

Love the ABCs pattern! And stylish, untraditional  black on tan...

Then while in NYC I picked up a pack of wool squares in shades of reds and rose.

I went very prim here, I wanted that ''penny rug'' look....

I make the Christmas/ winter decor hearts without scent, but I have the nicest woodland Christmas scented oil, to add when requested.

You can see where my buttons go...all those summer days searching for rare carved mother of pearl beauties.

And here's a little red bird, as we used to call cardinals back in Illinois.

I have a delightful customer/ friend who asked me about making birds with wire feet, like these...[isn't the sepia transferware covered dish gorgeous!]...

So this cardinal was a prototype.

LOL. I think the feet need some design work, but all I had was a scrap of rusty beach fence wire. He stands up nicely! But he is not adorably chubby, is he. And maybe he's not ''tres chic''?

Hope you're all having fun decorating for the holidays..whatever, whichever, your tradition is. Enjoy each moment, treasure every memory...

wishing you Holiday love and blessings.....
