Two Hearts One Love

Now you know how much I love Black and White.

And I’m no stranger to a bit of bling either, as those jewelled skulls will attest.

So when it came to creating a little something for Valentine’s Day, combining the two was a no brainer.

Remember that box of craft goodies I won for my Christmas Home Tour? Well guess what else came out of it.

Yes, there. At the front.

Not one, but two wooden hearts.

Decent sized ones, too.

I knew right away I wanted them black.

Tick.

Then it was a matter of milliseconds before I decided on bling.

Tick.

And then they looked kinda unfinished.

Dammit.

I’d planned to keep them separate, hanging them individually with ribbons but as I fiddled, this happened.

And I thought. Oooooh. I like that.

So I took it to a vote. I posted the unfinished hearts to the Facebook crafting community and the response was unanimous. They were gorgeous, but there was something missing.

Someone suggested “When two hearts become one” and I thought “Oooooooh!”

And promptly had a Phil Collins ear worm.

Two hearts,
Believing in just one mind.

(Oh I don’t know why; it just happens!)

And then it came to me.

I fired up the Cricut and before Phil could break into a rendition of Another Day in Paradise, my design was cut on white vinyl and applied to the hearts.

Ta da!

Sod Valentine’s Day, ‘Two Hearts’ has already found a permanent home in the OneandSeventy hallway.

There. Above the pictures on the left.

It even matches the candelabra decal on the other wall.

Did I mention I like a bit of bling?

It looks great against the white and makes a lovely addition to the picture wall, especially as each of those frames houses a line from a romantic poem Beloved wrote for me.

Sickening, isn’t it?

What can I say? We got a groovy kind of love.

…But Seriously! 😉
