Happy Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

My handsome Valentine and I just returned from a Sunday drive through the countryside and are spending the rest of the cozy and lazy afternoon together, reading and watching the PGA tournament on television. Later, we'll be grilling steaks for a special Valentine's Day dinner.

Earlier today we stopped by our kids' homes to drop off their Valentines, his and hers coffee mugs from World Market with Starbucks gift cards tucked inside. Aren't they cute?

I hope you all enjoy your Sunday, too, and have a wonderful Valentine's day!

Valentine's Day In Our Family Room

This week is rushing by and Valentine's Day is this Saturday!

So I sprinkled some l-o-v-e around our family room to entice cupid to stop by.

For my Valentine's Day photo clip boards (tutorial here) I purchased an instant download of a pretty flowered paper design for $1 (here) and downloaded a free font to install on my laptop (here). Then I put them together in photoshop and printed them out on card stock. My little red hearts are cut from felt and sewed onto some thread.

For the ottoman I shopped the house for my yard sale birdcage and ceramic love birds and added my craft store tulips to an Anthropology glass that I use for a vase.

I repainted a little dollar store plaque with gold letters to add some more l-o-v-e to my family room Valentine's Day vignette.

I think we're all ready for cupid here at our house!

I hope you all have a wonderful and very

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm feeling festive! C'mon along to a party!

Valentine's Day Rag Wreath

Old Man Winter has turned foggy, dark, and gloomy here in Boise. He reaches right through our windows and darkens every corner of our home!

What better way to chase the gloominess of winter away than with a bright red Valentine heart?

My raggedy red heart was made from strips of the red shop towels from Costco that I use for rags in my craft studio. They cost about $10 for a big bag of 100 which will last for about the rest of my life. Using a rotary cutter, a ruler, and a self healing mat, I cut each rag into 1-inch strips, and then I cut the strips in half crosswise. (Scissors would work great, too, if you don't have a rotary cutter.)

I twisted a dry cleaner's metal coat hanger into a heart shape using two pliers and then tied the rag strips on, snugging them up close to each other.

Take that, Old Man Winter! See ya, gloom!

Party Time!

Aren't those great Valentine's Day projects? Valentine's Day is still a month away, so you have plenty of time to make a sweet project that says, "I love you" to the special people in your life.

For more ideas visit my Valentine's Day Pinterest Board.

It's sunny but wintery cold here in Boise today, and I'll be curling up in a chair with a cozy throw, a cup of hot chocolate, and some HGTV while I work on one of my fun Valentine's Day projects for the rest of the afternoon.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
