Mini Boden Inspired Heart Applique T-Shirt

 

Mini Boden Heart Applique t-shirt perfect for Valentines Day!

I’m not usually a holiday dresser….no pumpkins for Halloween, no holiday sweaters for Christmas but for some reason the Valentine motif sends my heart a flutter.

For each of these t-shirts I cut out a paper heart template, traced it on various shades of felt, and then cut and pinned them in place.

Felt heart applique shirts for Valentine's Day

Fortunately come February, there’s a wide array of cute clothes in every price point to satisfy any heart-lover.

Adorable heart applique shirt

And since unlike pumpkins, hearts are always in season, for less than $10 (and only 10 minutes) you could use a few of these in a rainbow of colors to inject a little love into your little one’s wardrobe year round.

Thanks so much for joining me at the Fence today,

Julie Signature

At the Picket Fence Contributor Julie shared more Valentine’s Day ideas with us last week too. Did you see these darling Felt and Glitter Heart Accessories?

    Very adorable and so easy. If I still have little girls around this joint, I would be all over this.

    I’ll have to file it in my “I’m dreaming of being called Mimi someday” file.

      thanks jane! i have used felt appliques on a number of my kids shirts and have had good results with washing them inside out, on gentle cycle and line-drying them. even the shirts that have snuck their way into the regular wash cycle have been fine. i’ve noticed some pilling on the really large felt appliques, but the small hearts haven’t shown any pilling yet. the felt seems color-safe as i’ve never had any color bleeding issues. good luck!

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!

    Superb blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring
    writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little
    lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free
    platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There
    are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any tips? Cheers!

Yesterday on the way home from school I had the ra Yesterday on the way home from school I had the radio tuned to my daughter's favorite station and a song that was playing had a line in it that really stood out to me. It made reference to a 'season of the sticks' which I think its safe to say must mean winter. I thought that was such an accurate, albeiet kind of depressing, picture of this time of the year.

While we definitely have more than our fair share of evergreen trees here in Oregon, we also have plenty of trees and bushes that are reduced to sticks during the cold months. But, this morning as I looked out my kitchen window, greedily sipping from my mug of coffee, I marveled at the beauty of the winter sunrise. The sky was all pinks and oranges with frost on the rooftops and a little bit of fog. And, I realized that part of why it was so amazing is because I could see it more clearly through the sticks. The bare branches allowed me a view that I wouldn't be able to see if those same branches were covered in leaves. Being stripped down to almost nothing revealed something magnificent.

We have seasons of the sticks in our lives too, don't we? Times when we feel as though we've been stripped bare and left exposed. It's easy to think that this is a place where all is ugly and dark. And yet, just like the winter sunrise was more visible because of the bare branches, the vulnerability we feel in the winter season of our souls allows us to get a glimpse of beauty that we wouldn't see otherwise. In the lush, warm seasons it's so easy to become comfortable. But in the bare, cold seasons we recognize just how much we need to rely on the One who placed the stars in the heavens and is sovereign over all.

If you feel like your soul has been stripped bare and you've been left exposed and vulnerable, may I encourage you today to ask the Lord to help you to see the beauty in this 'season of the sticks'.

“Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:7
I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7

The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday.

Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend!

It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
