As you all know, I’m a bit of a sucker for color. I love all colors, in most all combinations and I’m especially partial to slightly desaturated color. I feel it provides more mood and emotion.
Lately I’ve been a bit under the weather and since I’ve been in bed resting a lot, I’ve been spending a lot of time on Pinterest. After all, what are you going to do with your time in bed other than pin all the wonderful things you find there???
I came across a great craft pin by my friend Angela of Wild Coconut Wear, which was a repin of a repin of a fantastic idea by sydddthekiddd on tumblr. (did you get all that?) The best ideas are simple, easy to execute and beautiful.
Since I’m normally a bit of a dud when it comes to holiday decorating outside of my favorites, Halloween and Christmas, I vowed to the kids that we’d do something fun and home made each and every holiday this year. We just finished two of the kid’s birthday’s so now it’s on to Valentine’s Day. This craft was the perfect thing. The only changes we made were to glue the hearts back to back to the string since we were going to be hanging ours in various doorways in the house and they’d be seen from both sides.
The best thing about this idea is that it’s full of gorgeous color. It makes my heart giddy I tell ya. Although I imagine the paint department at Home Depot was none too pleased when they saw me raiding the paint chip section, pulling out one of each and every paint chip. But how could I resist all that glorious color? I had to have them all, since other ideas for paint chip crafts abound and there are many, many more holidays ahead of us this year.
