I hope you all had a nice Valentine's Day. I enjoyed a nice warm, snuggly afternoon inside while watching the snow flurry outside. Too often I feel what's important about this holiday is lost. Like Christmas the focus is usually rather commercial. Because of this many people can feel lost and alone which is not what a holiday should be. It's not about if you have a significant other, rather I think it's about love in general. Love for your friends, your family, your pets, and yourself. So I like to spread little notes of love every year for this. Last year I crocheted heart shaped flowers, attached an encouragement, and then "planted" them along a nature path. This year I decided to create envelopes out of hearts to write the encouraging messages inside. In doing so I hope that I have brightened someone's day when they might otherwise be feeling the pressures of how Valentine's is advertised. If you'd like to follow along with the process and try it out yourself, here is the vlog for this year's Valentine's Day: You can also view the previous year's vlog here:
