L-O-V-E

As mentioned on Friday, I had a little date night with Pinterest this weekend.  Since Valentine's Day was right around the corner, I went with this inspiration photo for my first project.  She already used my favorite colors, so I pretty much followed suit.

First, a trip to Hobby Lobby to buy cardboard letters (on sale!) and yarn (on sale!)...

And then I went to work (using this tutorial as a quick guide)...

The letters took a lot more time than I expected.  Especially the 'O' since the whole pack of yarn wouldn't fit through the small hole; I had to pull a bunch of yarn from the pack, attempt to wrap it around into a smaller ball shape, and then wrap the letter.  As you can see, my cat Penny was a big help in this process.  Not. The stereotype is true, cats love yarn.  

While watching Pretty Woman on TV (thanks ABC Family), the letters slowly were covered.

And then like that, I was finished!

Placed happily in the guest room. 

 

   

Not bad, Pinterest, not bad at all.
