valentines day prep

emily, of the famed inside a black apple, has a beautiful free valentine download, that i found out about via sewtakeahike.

so i downloaded and cut them out, glued them to black cardstock, strung some red ribbon, and hung them from some branches that i have in the corner of my little living room. then i strung a few in the dining area. they turned out so cute - i don't think the pics do them justice.







here's my sofa dressed up a little for valentines day.



i also finally got around to making my friend a "love" pillow like the ones i made last year, except i added some grosgrain ribbon to hers and i can't get over how pretty a nice WIDE ribbon looks all tied up in bow. :)
