Happy Sunday, Friends! Are you all ready for Valentine’s Day tomorrow? 🙂 I’ve decided to make dinner for Mr. Sutch and myself since the monkey will be home with us. What are your plans?
Do you ever make something and then forget to post about it? I made this Jeweled Heart Necklace back in January.
I saw it over at Martha’s when I was checking out her site for Valentine’s inspiration. I made one, loved it, wore it, and completely forgot all about it until Jen from Tatertots and Jello showed off some she had made! I love her addition of ribbon! So cute and I like the punch of color!
I used black, smoky gray, clear, and light pink crystals. I wanted something I could wear year-round and I wear a lot of black. Then I threaded it onto a black chain. Sweet and simple.
Wishing you all have a LOVEly Valentine’s Day tomorrow! 🙂
