A few hearts for Valentine's Day

Years ago when my own children were small, I made felt heart pins for them to wear to school on Valentine's Day. Then I made a few for my grandchildren a couple of years ago. This year, I made them for all of the grandchildren who live in Toronto.

The colours are really a lot brighter than this photo shows. I think I made 14 altogether which gave me 3 extras. One grandchild has already misplaced hers so she got to choose another one. My youngest granddaughter is only 2 months old so she didn't need one. Two were orange, two were red, two were mauve and two were pinky/purple. I had some darker purple and some paler pink felt that I used too. They all have safety pins on the back so that they could be pinned on. Tomorrow is the school Valentine celebration because Friday is a PA Day. Monday is Family Day so it gives the teachers a four day weekend. I picked up some chocolate hearts today for all the little ones too.

Valentine's Day

I remember when my own children were going to school, I made felt hearts for them. I think I made some for their teachers too.

I just finished sewing 10 Valentine hearts for my grandchildren.

I added pins so that they can be worn on Tuesday.

I think the ones I made for teachers were a tad bigger. This year, I didn't make any for anyone else - no time.

My little grandsons just gave me pink marshmallow hearts - my favourite candy. Their mom bought me a bag of red, candy coated marshmallow hearts. There aren't any left at the store so I couldn't buy anymore. I remember my mom used to buy cinnamon hearts in a small, heart-shaped box. To this day, I still don't like the spicy hot cinnamon heart candies.
