I crocheted a sweet heart swag following a pattern by Molly on Design Sponge. Instead of tiny hearts made with cotton thread as Molly did, I used worsted weight yarn. I spaced my hearts closer together by chaining 15 between hearts rather than the 40 suggested when using thin cotton. Fifteen hearts were plenty to drape across a double window.
Inspired by Molly Dunham’s Pattern

Cute garland there, thanks for sharing the pattern.
Ann says
Molly's garland is sweet but I would have to go with the way you made yours since the thread is just too difficult for me to work with. I love it in blue and it looks great hanging in your window.
Your table vignette is gorgeous. Makes my table look really really messy…lol
Donnie says
That is so sweet looking and being blue I'm sure you can keep it out for quite a while. Happy Valentine's Day.

What a nice change the blue is! Your table vignette is so beautiful ~ the silver & blue is so striking together and I love the sweet bird.
Your white lacy curtians are pretty and the crocheted hearts look perfect against them.
