Heart Baubles and Sachets | Crochet Patterns | For Holidays

How about combining the Granny Heart Bauble with 

the Love Nugget Sachets together on a wreath?

Baubles and wreaths...not just for Christmas anymore...

I used a heart-shaped dollar store wire wreath form, rooted around in the Christmas storage box, 

procured a few heart-shaped ornaments from Michaels, 

and included the crocheted baubles and hearts. 

It has been hung on the back of the door instead of the front of the door, 

this way I can see it all day long 

(and there might be another wreath that's heart-shaped on the front of the door already).

Yes, yes I know... the coffee maker and the electrical plugs in the pic, 

but this is real life, man!
