Besides cupids, the only other thing I can think of when I think of Valentine’s Day are hearts.
After I finished the “Springtime Crocheted Accent Pillow“, I got busy and crocheted three different sized hearts using a pattern from Red Heart.
To embellish the otherwise plain-looking hearts, I added some slip stitch designs, buttons and beads.
While I was at Red Heart website, I saw a little crochet bird appliques. I thought it would make a cute magnet.
Instead of using their version of the tail and wings, I modified each and came up with what I thought would look better. I also added some legs and tied a bead to each end. After I finished, it wasn’t what I expected it would look like. It is kind of ugly and silly.
Welcome to Say-very (Savory) Sweet Things. I like to cook, bake and tweak recipes. To keep myself busy, I knit, crochet, design and create computer graphics, and read. When resources are available, I like to occupy my time doing many types of handicrafts. Although I am very much an amateur photographer, I have an interest in photography.

You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings
Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you
The hearts are pretty and I like that little birdie too!
You are so very creative…wish I had a 10th of your skills! :)
maybe somehow add some feet to your bird. He looks like he only has legs with no feet. I love the hearts and I am always looking for a good bird pattern.
Hi Brenda,
LOL Poor little bird. He does look like he has no feet. You are right! He does need feet. On my first try I did have three little toes and then I scratched them. I finally gave up.
Very cUte and creative Liz. I love what you did with the hearts. I remember seeing that heart pattern. Haves nice Sunday hugs
Thank you, Kat.
