Married Cherries
It’s that time of year again – they say love in in the air and Valentines Day is coming up! Or for some of us, we regard this as singles awareness day. Regardless, it is still nice to feel love all around and a fun and cheesy time to celebrate it! For the past decade, I’ve gone to Papa Murphy’s and picked up a heart shaped pizza. When I was with my family and when I lived on my own, it’s a tradition I still have not broken.
Down below you can find the free pattern for the married cherries! Also the above image is showing a heterosexual couple, this does NOT only apply to those couples. Love is love and anyone should be able to experience that feeling!
Let me know down in the comments what kind of love you get to enjoy 🙂
