"Be Mine" Bunting
I found a fun tutorial here for a Valentine Pillow Bunting and tried my own version, shown here. Reverse applique and embroidery--two fairly new techniques for me--made these cute little pillows to adorn a mantle, or wherever. My only problem was the little pillows don't hang quite straight, so I'm not taking a picture of them hanging up. Maybe next year I'll figure out a better way to hang 'em.

Yarn Felt Flower Wreath
My newest creation! Super-cute AND easy. I'd seen a couple done by friends on Facebook, and they led me to this tutorial, which gave props to the Itz Fitz Etsy shop. I made the mistake of first using a thin yarn, and realized about an hour into the project that this was gonna take FOREVER... so started again with a chunky yarn. Much better. I used both felt and fleece for the flowers. I love a project that doesn't have to be perfectly done to look good!
