The sewing machine has been a-whirring, and some little birds have come to roost in a willowy tree...
More about the birds another day, but here's something I saw on Pinterest (oh, yes I have been sucked into that...) which was fun to do...

Gather red and pink paper - I wanted to use magazines, but didn't have enough. I just MIGHT have visited activityvillage.co.uk and used some of their downloadable scrapbook papers - Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year would have been useful (but I couldn't admit to it on here in case someone who worries about printer ink was reading...)
Make a template, layer up four of five sheets of scrapbooking paper and cut lots of hearts out nice and easily.
Then simply stitch together, leaving a bit of a gap between each heart, and a tail at either end for attaching to whatever you're going to attach it to.
Pretty!
You have been busy and with much success.
