Valentines Day is rather like Pilchard Pie in this house! I am the only one that likes it! I really like this time of year and it is all about baby lambs and birds with nesting materials in their beaks, Daffodil shoots and Snowdrops. Soon we will be admiring the Spring Violets and getting busy in the garden again with flowers springing everywhere. Rule number one regarding Valentines Day or any other day for that matter, is 'You have to love yourself'. So if you don't have anyone to make this 'Mug Cosy' for, make it for yourself, you know you want one. They take little over an hour to rustle up and are very easy. They certainly add a bit of extra love to your Hot Chocolate.

ooooh i made a little heart like that a few months ago when i was dabbling with crochet. now i know what to put it on :) thank you sooooo much for sharing the pattern xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea. I made mug cosies and had completely forgotten about them, probably because I made them in a boring yarn - they need a heart to pretty them up!
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year too, especially now the snow is going. The days are much longer and with all the new growth, it just feels "good".
