A basket of Valentines

No Valentine is better than a bad Valentine . . . so they say . . . well "THEY" actually say "No Santa Claus is better than a Bad Santa Claus" and it's my Blog . . . and the day was about two weeks away.  I hadn't given the girls at work anything for Christmas this year (I usually make a small tree ornament) because I just wasn't into the spirit of giving  . . . and I missed it and felt a tad bit guilty I hadn't done it . . . and because Valentines Day was fast approaching I started goggling and pinteresting hand made valentines.  I came across quite a few that inspired me and decided to go into the scrap pile of fabric to see if I had anything appropriate.

I found three different "red/pink" fabrics and decided to put left over painter's tarp at the back.  I hand sewed them all together with embroidery thread, embelished every single one of them with a different look on the front, stuffed them with polyester fibre fill and stitched them shut.  I added a garden twine hanger and secretely delivered them to random people.  Sorry but not everyone got one - if you were away on vacation you got skipped - better luck next year!
