I&#8217;m not much of a romantic, but I do like hearts and flowers and OMG!pink! I suppose I get so tired of all the blue, the millions of cars and trucks and construction scenes, that I&#8217;m happy to have an excuse to display some hearts and make little cutie pie things. Even if my own personal Valentine has been absent from 2 of the 4 past February 14&#8217;s, thanks to a little convention in Vegas that is anything but MAGICal.<BR><BR>I bought a handmade heart garland at the thrift store, a few weeks back. It was less than a dollar and I couldn&#8217;t bear to just leave it at the store. Someone definitely put some time into it. It&#8217;s comprised of many little stuffed hearts. It&#8217;s hanging on a hook in my living room, patiently waiting for it&#8217;s Valentine-decor spot.<BR><BR>I made this little amigurumi heart yesterday. The pattern was as easy as they come. It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roxycraft.com\/crochet_hearts.htm\" rel=\"nofollow\">this <i>free<\/i> one<\/a> at roxy craft. Pay attention to the stuffing note. I stuffed and stuffed and still think it could have used a smidge more poly-fil. I used some Caron Country and a 4.25mm (G) hook.<br \/><BR>I was thinking of making these for Nathan&#8217;s teachers, but then I remember the cute little heart pins on the purl bee and decided I should make those instead. I just need to buy some felt. I have amassed a collection of random craft things but I don&#8217;t have any felt. That&#8217;s really weird, no? Felt is so lovely, but I tend to only buy the cheapo stuff at Wal-Mart whenever I need a bit to make something specific. I want some wool felt in all the lovely colors of the visible spectrum. If that&#8217;s too much to ask, a few squares in some pretty colors would be sufficient.<BR><BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2777\/4276968164_5c665fb893.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" alt=\"amigurumi heart\" align=\"right\" style=\"border:2px solid black\"\/>It&#8217;s been a bit since I posted something in the crochet or knit category.
