Valentine's day collection of felt love hearts

I am very excited to finally share with you my latest project,  and my first Valentine's day collection - "Love hearts"

I began thinking about making my first Valentine's day collection on Christmas break and started by modifying Plushka's "classic" - 
"I heart owls" brooches  into a slightly different, more summery and girly design with a little flower on a side.

Purple and green brooches are the "classic" design that I've been making for about 2 years and the light pink and peach are the new ones.


As I wanted to make my hair accessories available on the different clips this year, I stitched a new heart design on an alligator clip. They are easier to clip on then silver snap clips, covered with a ribbon and look very cute, don't you think? 


It's a small collection but I do hope to add a few more items with time. There are still a few cross-stitched creations that I thought I will be able to finish by the release date but slightly overestimated the time available. The design, as well as the cross-stitch embroidery itself, require a few more weeks of work.  

So far it got a very good response with my VIP club members who got a preview last week and I would love to know what YOU think about my new creations!
