Sweet FREEBIE for Valentine's Day

Just in time for the "sweetest" holiday of the year, here's a little freebie. It's a quick and easy stitch with lots of pretty pink and rosy colors.

Be My Valentine Free Chart

On another subject...
do you ever have trouble putting away your FAVORITE Christmas decorations?


This year I made these "tiny" gingerbread houses. They were a set of little bitty cookie cutters. Each house is less than 2" wide. I didn't do a great job - my royal icing was not the right consistency - but I did them anyway. Then I found the most adorable tiny trees on Amazon to complete the scene. Since I have them displayed on a red tray (with Epson salt snow) I decided to leave them out for Valentine's Day. This little village just makes me smile!


The story is the same with these gingerbread hearts. At Christmas they hung on a little tree in my kitchen. When I put the tree away, I moved the hearts to a kitchen wreath. These hearts look like Valentine's Day...right?! Again, they just make me happy, so why not enjoy them a little longer?

Enjoy your Valentine's Day freebie!!!

    1. Are the DMC color thread #'s correct for pink flowers? On the photo you show above they do not look the same color as the word Valentine? Although on the color code chart the numbers are the same for the Be my Valentine and then the three flowers? Would love to hear from you thanks. I'll check back here to see if you can help me. Thank you.

    2. The other color should read 3607, I believe. On another note, what is the color for the triangle symbol on the envelope? lol. I just improvised and came up with one of my own.

  6. Thank you for the freebie!
    I have a bookcase in the hallway outside of my bedroom and it's my "Christmas corner". It changes every year, but I display a few "can't stand to pack away" Christmas decor items on it. Unless you're going to my bedroom you don't see it, but it brings me joy!

  8. I leave a few remnants of Christmas out a few weeks past Christmas too. I have a little glass gingerbread house with gingerbread candles that I leave out. I also have gingerbread people that I stitched and framed with cookie cutters. There is something sweet and non-Christmasy about them.
