Holly Love

Good evening sweet blogging friends.
Who wants to join 
Earlene (Primitive Passion Decorating)
in Florida? I do
Well that's where my blogging friend is right now.
She left our sweet state of Michigan at the right time.
It is 5 degrees and snowing here now.
Our poor furnace has been running way too much.
Which means we will probably have a way big gas bill. UGH
We decided to close off our back room and hibernate
in out front room tonight and lit a fire in the fireplace.

Lately I have been creating snowmen and items
for St Valentines.
Which got me to thinking...
why not add a bit of both Winter and Valentine's together,
So I creating a bit of love and Holly.

Dyed my linen and stitched the word love using one strand of floss.

The holly berries and leaves are wool that I stitched to the linen.

Now I must decide how to finish this.

I grunged up some holly fabric.
What do you think?
A Pillow or a wall hanging?

I wanted to show you how I made my berries...
so using gold wool, here goes.
I cut a strip like the one above.

Then I cut the strip into squares...no measuring,

so they are not all perfect.

After all prim is not perfect.

Then I round off the edges into circles.
Really easy peasy.
Hopefully you were able to see my pics easy.
I have a problem taking close ups with my camera.
Crafty creator I am..photographer I am not.

Holly Love Blessings To All!
