Slip slipping away....

It feels like January is slipping away quickly, although I still think that Spring can not come soon enough.  I've had it with gray skies and cold weather, my soul needs some sunshine and warmth!  There is one up side to the cold skies of January,  it's time to start planning for Valentine's day!

We {love}  Valentine's day in our house. I've already started thinking of new crafts to make this year to celebrate. I got a great idea for a special Valentine's day themed craft, then went searching for the supplies this week and could not find a very essential item!  So I guess it will wait another week, I hate it when I get a "bee in my bonnet" and then can't complete the project.

We are not done with "resourceful" here in January -- still to come are some sewing and clothing ideas, but I've decided that my February focus is "LOVE"... original I know.  *wink*

Since craftiness, especially around holidays requires some lead time, I thought I'd do a little preemptive Valentines day post....

Here's a link to some of the crafty Valentine's Ideas featured here in the past...

enjoy...

The Valentines Day Chairbacker pattern is now back in the shop. It features full color photos and templates for both the heart and an entire alphabet so you can make what ever name you like.

Here are ours in "action" from last year's celebration... I think I need to make a "Mom" and "Dad" one this year too... maybe then something small and sparkly will show up in my pouch :)

I hope you enjoy your week of crafting or whatever it is you get to do!  We are off to Salt Lake City this week for a short trip, so if you see someone at a fabric store that you think looks like me, say "hi"!!!
