Barbara,
They are great fun to make.
…and I see my heart is still broken! I hope IT girl and your good post can get the job done…this is irritating, but I see by your post that I am not alone

Hi Patricia, Ohhhhh! I like those swans. I've never seen that before, but do remember folding paper and cutting out hearts. Such fun! .-= Barbara Swafford´s last blog ..Don’t Let Your Heart Be Broken =-.

Mama Zen,
I am not much of an artist and I wanted to use a color that would show the pattern, they can be very elegant.
Kim posted her elephant hearts they were making…I think homemade valentines are so fun

JD
I just cooked a Valentines dinner for a daughter passing through…she was delighted to see the swan hearts and talked about cutting snowflakes and turkey hands too! Good memories.
How do you celebrate the Day?

I haven’t made a heart in years — I forgot all about that. Now you got me thinking about making snowflakes and tracing my hand to make a Turkey. Good stuff!

Kim,
They are fun and kids like to make them. The carriage is laser cutting of paper I assume it is a template…I have an amazing one done of a garden window too, but it is not very Valentine’s Day!

Davina,
Hearts repeated from nature! Ha Ha…you make me laugh out loud…
My Grandparents were married on Feb. 14th and celebrated 60 years, but it was not Valentine’s Day until their children were nearly grown….they thought it was a funny coincidence. It is also National Potato Chip day which is older than Valentines Day!

I love the swans Patricia, and how the curves of their necks form a heart shape. Yeah… I know that’s the idea.

I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. I’m a single, bitter woman.

I love the swans!! I’m going to save this for Alex to make next year – I love the way they are attached to make a swan card.

Is the carriage one made with a template? Otherwise I could never do it – and don’t think I would have the patience even with one

Jannie,
I like these swans because they can be plain or fancy – and show that there are hearts in nature and all around us just to see.

Happy making Valentines

Those swans are really pretty!

Since Kelly’s school encourages hand-made valentines where possible, we will be starting some this weekend. In past years she has fcussed on quality and elaborate detail over quantity, and in a class of 26 kids, mom usually ends up making about 20. We’ll go for simpler ones this year, I hope.
