Hearts and Flowers

Victoria Magazine depicted a similar garland in their January/February issue that I fell in love with. Right away, I knew I wanted to make one, but using my favorite pale flowers in keeping with my mostly white decor. Choosing the ribbon color was the hardest part because I didn't want it to be too pink. I nearly used lavender and then tried a sage green, but neither had effect I wanted. Then something made me think about this bright kiwi/lime green ribbon and it was perfect!
The linen heart with it's varigated pink silk ribbon was inspired by one that Aina at Modern Country made for another favorite blogger of mine, Outi Loimaranta at White Country. I had a few scraps of pristine white linen that were the perfect size! In my ribbon embroidery box, I found the perfect pale pink and white varigated ribbon and my button box turned up the soft satiny pink buttons. I like the bare touch of color. The sheen of the linen is so nice.
Like my Christmas vignette, I'm sure this one will bear some tweaking in the next few days. For right now, it fills me with hope and gladness!

The little dotee dolls in your previous post were absolutely darling! And inspiring too, so I will be adding them to my future projects to do list.
I had to read through and really enjoyed your rainbow babies. I used food coloring one year to make my kids into Smurfs for Halloween and they were blue for weeks in splotches here and there. Molty Smurfs.
