Wanting to immerse myself in pinks, reds & whites I tried thinking of simple but pretty things to make for Valentine's Day.
Initially, I found a beautiful heart in this book:
Motif # 124 --- a gorgeous heart, but a bit too big for this project. It just seemed to overpower the felt instead of enhancing the look I was going for.
So, back to my stack of books and I found exactly what I was looking for in here:
The perfect heart --- and it truly is my most favorite pattern for a crocheted heart that I have stitched.
Here is how it all went together:
1)Using 2 pieces of 4 x 4 inch felt 2)marking tiny dots with a pencil
3)stitched a simple buttonhole stitch w/ embroidery floss 4)and before closing, stuffed it with polyfill
5)single crochet the first row 6)and chain 3 -- skipping a single crochet for row 2 to create a simple edging
7) and lastly -- adhering the heart in the center
...a perfect change of heart.

Ohh, such pretty hearts. I tried a few heart patterns on my own, but abandoned them. May be I should give them a try once again.
Perfectly beautiful, Dawn ! Just love it.
I too love your change of heart, but, the burning question is...how'd you get them to stay on the door...and did puppy eat the handle, once he was done with the tree?
Your work is so inspiring, Dawn. This project simply puts a smile on my face. It's just lovely. I own the first book you showed (thanks to your inspiration), but not the second. I do know however that I can check it out of the library.
Thank you so much for sharing! Happy Sunday to you!
Love these! You are wonderfully talented Dawn.
Adorables !
Bonne semaine.
