There used to be a Valentines Day Blog Hop on this day, but hasn't in a while. Still, if you've been following me for a while, you know I like to craft something love-related for Felix every year, and I'll still use this spot to show it!
This year, I had a grande planned, that I only got to implement about 3/4ths. Some years back, my grandma gave me a set of stationary that came in a red leather box that looks a bit like a letter. It was a beautiul packaging but not really practical to keep around longterm, so the stationary now lives in my drawer and the box was to be upcycled this year.
In January, I stitched up the Haunted Hearts Mailbox by Haunted Frames. Isn't it super cute? I then glued that to the box. That was stage 1 of the plan.
Stage 2 was to write up a bunch of lovey-dovey quotes and saying on little pieces of paper and put them in there, so Felix can take one out and reading whenever he's having a bad day. The original grande plan was to write up enough for every day, but I quickly realized I wasn't going to make 365 writings!
I then wanted to get to a hundred at least, but with work becoming incredibly busy and me being sick this week, I didn't make that too. There are about 40 in there, but it still looks pleasantly full! I might write up some more and sneak them in there when he's running low, we'll see how it goes.

Very cute and extremely sweet!
Lovely stitch and great way of using your grandma's leather box. Dont worry about not able to fullfill your plans, its the thought that counts.
What a sweet idea and a cute finish for Valentine's Day, Leonore! You are very creative and I'm sure your little notes will offer Felix a boost on those days that are a bit more difficult :)
