I'm not quite sure what happened to me this weekend but I was heartified or something -
I couldn't stop working on Valentines day crafts
I tried to - I just couldn't .
Ok - before I go any further with this post I have to tell you all something - I've got a sneaking suspicion that
Adele has been reading my blog.( and I've had it for awhile now )
I made that Hello sign in the summer.
And than all of a sudden she comes out with a number one hit song with that as the title?
I don't mind at all - really I don't - but a little recognition would have been nice don't you think?
If she comes out with a song about a string of metallic hearts next that'll just cement it.
Back to the tin heart garland -
Have you ever tried to snip 12 hearts out of tin ?
Neither have I - but I DID cut out 12 hearts from construction paper and then painted them with metallic paint................same thing, right?
Well minus the blood all over your fingers............and I didn't want to make bleeding hearts anyway
Have a wonderful day everyone !

Your tin hearts look terrific - like the vignette on the bench.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Suzan.

What a great idea! I work for a Titanium company but I doubt they'll let me have the scraps to make hearts! I'm sure it would be a hard sell to ask them to cut them on the machines. You're idea is much safer and much more economical!
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie - I'd find a way to get tin hearts made at work - trust me - I'd finagle a way LOL
DeleteThanks :)

You don't strike me as someone with a tin heart.
ReplyDeleteI have some license plates I want to cut up to use the letters/numbers, but I'm afraid I will hurt myself.
VERY pretty, Suzan! And I love that hat and mittens. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletexo
Those are so cute! What brand/color of paint did you use? I thought they were real tin! Cool!
ReplyDeleteThe firstr thing I thought when I saw your heart garland was, whoa I bet she needed bandaides for this one! LOVE it - they really do look like metal hearts Suzan. Surprised to see there wasn't a John Says commentary included. He must Heart this idea!
ReplyDeleteOh Marie - I need bandaids just preparing and cooking dinner LOL -
DeleteThanks SO much -
There WAS a conversation about them actually - that's why they're in the living room in the first photo and banished to the porch in the last ones LMHO !

You are just the silliest! Love the hearts, nice alternative. Really love that cotton wreath -- need to make one for me. I've grown my own cotton for years and have saved all my bolls. Never knew what I should do with them until I started seeing wreaths on blogs. I'll add it to my list of things to do. sigh.
ReplyDeleteReally cute, Suzan! I guess Adele has to get her ideas from someone...you should take it as a compliment, haha.
ReplyDeleteTHanks Julie - I DO take it as a compliment HA HA HA !!!
DeleteXOXO
They do look like tin! Fantastic job....
ReplyDeleteDarn that Adele,eh? Hahaha!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Those are pretty but making them out of wood is much easier!
ReplyDeleteBoy! You are the crafty one aren't ya! Ha! Great job Martha!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL - my girlfriends used to call me Martha so this made me laugh out loud -
DeleteI'm not really crafty at all but once in a while..................
Thanks Cindy !

When I first saw the "tin hearts" I thought you were so brave to cut out the hearts from tin. Then I learned the secret of how to make tin hearts. They look fabulous and no hands were cut up in the process.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea and so much safer than tin! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Talk of the Town.
ReplyDeleteCute, and yes, much easier than snipping tin! Thanks for linking up to The Talk of the Town link party.
