Valentine's Day Decor

Hello, friends! I haven't posted in awhile. I feel like we are still recovering from the holidays! We just started back to school on Monday, and this week has been rough! I feel like I might finally be getting back in the groove, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super excited that Monday is a holiday! I thought I'd show you what I've been up to for Valentine's Day. 

I pulled this together from things I already had, or made myself. The only thing I bought were the puffy crocheted hearts on sticks. I ordered my own color choices from this shop on Etsy. I made the garland myself. I was cleaning my Christmas mess off of my craft table and found unused stretched burlap. I sketched out a heart on it with pencil, then filled in with glue and super fine Martha Stewart glitter. I love that it shimmers so bright every time I walk past it. The frames, blocks, and big metal heart were in different spots in the house.

I made a crocheted heart wreath on an old grapevine wreath. I sell the hearts in my Etsy shop (in any colors you want) and you just buy a wreath and hot glue the hearts where you want. SO EASY!

I recently learned how to do the granny triangle! I made a mini bunting of pinks, red, and a cute white scalloped border.

 Below are just a few other color combinations in the shop that I love...

I love any holiday that allows me to put hearts EVERYWHERE!

Crocheted Hearts Projects

It has been FOREVER since I blogged! I have been really consumed with homeschooling and just keeping up with normal life. Now it's Christmas break and I'm ready to get creative again! Hopefully it won't come to a screeching halt when school starts up again. ;) 

I learned something new and just had to blog about it. I watched a tutorial on YouTube on how to crochet a heart, and after watching, pausing, failing trying A LOT, I finally got it! I've added them to my Etsy shop and can't wait to make more! Find the hearts to make your own DIY wreath here.

I hot glued some hearts to a grapevine wreath for a cute addition to the front door.

I love these non-traditional colors together: cream, red, and gray. Find this garland here.

 I also made the traditional colors: light pink, pink, and red. Find it here. I'm curious to see which one sells more!

 I added the gray one to my pallet gallery in the dining room, and the photo on the bottom was just for listing purposes on Etsy. That one's all packaged up and ready to go to a new home. ;)

 This is now on a crate on my dining room table... I filled a blue ball jar with some epsom salt, added a few branches from the yard, and some hearts on strings for a cute little "tree".

 I have a lot of turquoise, teal, red, and mint in my house, so I thought I'd add a few turquoise hearts on my wreath to tie it in.

I'm totally obsessed. I've always seen people crocheting while waiting places and wanted to learn. My Grandma Doris taught me how when I was little, but I completely forgot how. She was the absolute best. I loved getting her zig zag blankets. She was ahead of her time with the chevron thing. ;) If you don't know how or don't have time to learn, all of these hearts and garlands are for sale in my Etsy shop, Distressed Beautiful.
