have a heart

Everything's turning up hearts, have you noticed? Valentine's Day is just 2 weeks away! I thought I'd haul out some goodies (albeit oldies) for you.

First up, my heart scarf design that Martha demo'd on her show last February. What a treat that was! She even gave away copies of Warm Fuzzies to all of her audience members that day. Such a thrill! My instructions for it are still on her website plus she's got all kinds or new V-day goodies going on.


Next is my crazy rosette-y wreath, also from last year. This could be done on a smaller form (way smaller if you value your sanity) following my floral brooch technique or update it using my rosette technique from the Felted Pomander tutorial.

If you're feeling like knitting for your sweeties this Valentines Day, I've got some suggestions! My pal Susan B Anderson (yes, she really is my pal back in WI) has some super cute knitting patterns available for a heart shaped wash cloth and adorable little baby heart hat! Clever girl, that Susan. :)

Thanks again to those of you who purchased my Lil' Sweetheart Purse pattern. Mine are hanging on various doorknobs waiting to be filled with goodies! Please send me photos of yours if you've made any yet.

Have a great weekend. Stay warm, be crafty!

Your blog spot makes me drooly with creative juices! I MUST get to the local thrift store to buy up sweaters to shrink! How do you ever find such wonderful colors?! Do you ever dye any?

Love your stuff! Can't wait to get felting!

Hi Betz! Love your blog and book.
I want to make the heart scarf but when I go to martha's site it goes right to the video and does not offer the heart template. My hearts are not as pretty and I would like the exact one. Any chance you could put that one back on your site? Thanks! PJ

Hi PJ,
Go to the link I posted above to the MS site. Right above where the video is playing is a little button that says "print". Click on that and it will bring up the written project description and a link to the template. I just tried it and it looks like it's all in working order!
