This past weekend, the blogosphere was brimming with Valentine's Day posts. My Google Reader was well decorated in pink and red hearts, along with Valentine's Day tutorials and print outs. Somehow I missed the boat. Valentine's Day is usually pretty low-key for us. This year we spent the weekend celebrating our good friend's Valentine's Day birthday. Ava turned 3 on Sunday, and although I was instructed to not bring a present, I figured I could bring a card with a knit heart.
Prototypes were drawn up, and my 'little heart' turned out a little bigger than I expected. I used fingering weight yarn left over from my Girly Mitts, but it was still a bit to large to adorn a card. Instead, it became a card (In the form of the pillow, that is):
We signed the back and wished Ava the happiest 3rd Birthday- what a wonderful Valentine's Day it was!
What about you...whose company did you enjoy on V-Day?

I enjoyed being with my husband and our 6 week old baby boy! Such a great day. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Melynda! It's so sweet and something that she can actually keep and play with. I worked at Sbux and at school, got home at 7 and spent the evening doing homework and watching the Olympics with Eric. We usually don't celebrate much...
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea!! My guy and I spent the day thrifting..
ReplyDeleteUmm, that is adorable. What a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly adorable! What a perfect "card," hehe.
ReplyDeleteI *love* this!
ReplyDeleteBen and I had 2 performances for the play we were in. Unfortunately I had to get married 2 times on V-day (married in the play that is). Well, at least Ben was the best man. Very romantic.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely...spent my day with my sweetie...smiles.
ReplyDeleteSounds like everyone had a great weekend! Lelah~ Congrats on the new little guy, he's too cute (hope you find time to make your slippers soon!).
ReplyDeleteAmanda~ Mom said you were in a play this weekend, too bad you didnt get to marry Ben!
How beautiful! It is such a cute gift!
ReplyDeleteSo cool. I spent the day working on the house with my husband and having a wonderful evening of food and a romantic movie. It was - probably - the best V-day ever!
ReplyDeleteI would love the have the basic pattern for that! I am a new knitter and haven't figured out charting yet.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, how did you explain the marriage to the kids? It seems like it would be a very confusing subject for a kid to digest? Haha. What play were you in?
ReplyDeleteAva loves her heart pillow (and I do too)!! Yesterday she said that it says "Happy Valentines Day to Ava." Pretty close I guess... Anyway, thank you for such a sweet and special gift Melynda!
