love is in the air .....

We're having a mild day - it's +1C and sunny with a light wind - yes, I've been for a walk - there's still lots of ice which meant I had to take careful steps rather than take a brisk walk - I won't complain - it was nice to get out and stretch my legs.  

 Love is in the air ... well, that's misleading - no big romance to share with you  -  just seemed like a good  introduction.  For some February decor I crocheted a couple lid jar covers - I was going to make some in pink, too, but decided red was better since they could also be used for the Christmas season and I do like red and white.  Since I have to keep 'stuff' to a minimum I figured I might as well make things that are multi-purpose - just like the mouse.    All my hearts are packed away - that story is getting tiresome, right?   After years of having lots of room minimalism can be a challenge - I have to constantly remind myself that enough is enough.

 For the covers I used this pattern.  Since I don't have any white ribbon with me I used white butcher twine ... kinda looks like cording from a distance - faux cording.  The small jar has a button on the top and the big one has some rickrack gathered to form a flower of some sort ... making do with what is on hand.

 The doggie is felt with a design found here.  This pattern reminded me so much of Little Dog that I had to make it.  We still very much miss this little girl. 

she is everywhere, she is nowhere
but she is still here

love isn't what you say ...

love is what you do
