Boho Hearts
I've been enjoying making these little hearts. Anything that is this quick to make is always good fun I find.
I still haven't assembled my mantle dingle dangle yet, but I have a vision in the mind's eye, so we'll see if things pan out according to plan soon. Tomorrow I think I will have a play and see if it comes together.
In the meantime though, I thought I'd share the pattern with you all so you can start making your own hearts for all the little ideas and projects that you might be seeing with your own mind's eye!
I've decide to call them Boho Hearts, I think mostly because of the colour choices that they seemed to inspire me to make them in, they seen a touch bohemian to me. I hope you enjoy them and let you creative imaginations run wild...
