Handmade Valentine's Day Ideas: Crafts and Food for everyone

We got into the Valentine's Day spirit with a hearts banner. Did you see it?

6 days until Valentine's Day!

Have you bought a card?

Have you gotten a present ready for your other half?

Do you have a special menu planned?

I've browsed through the store several times for the last month looking for a card. I can be quite indecisive when it comes to getting a card. Ya know, I like the message of the front, but the message from a second one, and the design and colors of another. Oh wait! but another one has a ribbon or glitter, or other elements that I find quite unique and beautiful.

This Saturday afternoon we have some rather cold weather for Florida. It's grey, foggy, cool, rainy...and pretty much gloomy out. Totally not my kind of weather, but as my kids are currently napping, I'm able to dive to into Pinterest, Google, and basically all over the internet to find things that are inspiring for Valentine's Day.

I want to do ~~one or two~~ projects I've seen...nah! ALL of them!

1. I just discovered SewingSchool's site. Ah-mazing! This cute little card looks so sweet, full of love, and totally do-able as a last minute gift. Perhaps even a nap time project!

2. How about some tender looking heart hair clips? The Purl Bee did it again with this awesome tutorial.

I'm really curious to find out what my Hubs is going to make for Valentine's Day. Here are some hints, amor!

Chocolate Ravioli Hearts

Heart Toad on a Hole

My Hubs is a huge pizza lover. I bet he'd get a kick out of this Valentine's Pizza.

I will continue browsing and prepping for the big day. I think I'll be making a card and cooking something truly special for my Hubs.

What are you making? How do you like these ideas? Share in the comments your thoughts and give this post a Google+. Let me know here or on FB.

Until next time!

How to Make a Crochet Fabric Fusion Dress

This post contains affiliate links. The life of a crafter tends to revolve around trying new patterns, combining materials, making something completely new. Sometimes it turns out just like we imagined it would, other times...well, those times are good too. The process of crafting is what makes it fun and worth the ride. One book that has really inspired me into this fusion technique has been Fun with Yarn and Fabric : More Than 50 Projects to Sew, Crochet , it is filled with projects that combine fabric with yarn into beautiful projects like cushion covers, blankets, etc.It is also so colorful that it will really motivate you into trying new color schemes. Some time ago, I got this turquoise chevron fabric from Hobby Lobby with the intention of making a dress that would combine crochet and fabric. Just like a fusion blanket, I would make a fusion dress: fabric and crochet together to make a new dress. Related Projects that use the Crochet Fabric Fusion Technique:
