Valentine's Day Project 2010

I know this might sound weird but it all started when I was heating a bowl of Oatmeal and burnt my hands on the bowl. I figured that I should make a bowl cozy so that wouldn't happen again lol. After I made it I thought about what other purposes it could have. It can be a bowl on it's own, You can cinch it up and give it as a gift, use it to decorate a bowl, use it as a bowl cover for a floating candle, and much more. Valentine's day is coming up so I wanted to make something cheap and have it look cool. I got a so-be bottle and crocheted around it for a vase. Then I decided to add stuffed hearts. I wanted to personalize it more so I gave one of the hearts a pocket (the red one) so I can add a note to it. I braided a cord and attached it to the hearts then onto the bottle. Then I crocheted a heart coffee cozy. I figured we could have coffee and soup for Valentine's day instead of chocolate. (hey I have to try to stay on a diet and this is a perfect alternative) What do you think?
