Last night after the kids went to bed, I started work on garlands- I LOVE them! I've been wanting to make some ever since I saw so many fabulous examples on Etsy around Christmas time, but simply ran out of time.
I made 5, 4-foot, garlands. One is in the mail to Aunt LoLo to brighten up her Valentine's day, the other 4 are draped over my front-room curtains. (Historical Tidbit: Those curtains are made of the fabric remnants from my wedding dress.)
I had three little glittery hearts that didn't fit on my last garland, and they became fun little dangles for my dining-room chandelier.
(Hey, I just noticed how CLEAN my house looks when you can only see the wall and ceiling!)
(Doesn't that huge yellow wall look...drab? It's a work in process. Please send my decorating fairy. Or come and cover for Wonder Daddy at work so he can, you know, spend all his brain power on what to hang on the dining room wall. )

Everything is strung on some fantastic vintage string I found during my last thrift store outing.
