There are people who like chocolate . . .
And then there are people who LOVE chocolate.
I’ve always been someone who “likes” it.
Well, that is until several years ago when I discovered Lindor Hazelnut Truffles by Lindt.
Oh my, are they ever good!!!!! So good, in fact, that the hazelnut is often sold out!
(xoxoxo to Sir Beads for snagging some for me.)
Happy Valentine’s Day, Kids! 😀
Hope you discover something sweet today . . .
xoxoxo
I‘m having such fun with these flowers! Here is the “bright pink” one I mentioned yesterday (It looks coral on my screen – but it’s pink!).
You can see in the photo below that the pink one is a smaller size. Eventually, I want to make several sizes, using different types of fabrics. 🙂
Maybe it’s the shorter hours of daylight but, lately, I just want to curl up with a quick project after dinner. Here’s my whimsical little crocheted posy!
And finally, I finished a few crocheted hearts. It’s probably too late to use them on Valentine cards for *this* year, but I’ll think of something to do with them.
Wishing you a weekend with the perfect mix of things you have to do and things you want to do! 😀
Hugs,
Ok, so temperatures are hovering near the zero degree mark not only here in New England, but in many parts of the country. And there’s record snowfall, too . . .
If you look very closely though, you can still spot a flower.
Really.
I’m not kidding!
See?
Here’s a project anyone can create. C’mon now, no arguing! If you can cut out a circle and sew on a button – you can make this pretty blossom! 😀
I chose a soft blue plaid fleece for mine – so adorable! I can imagine this pinned to a scarf, or a hat, or if made in a smaller size – attached to a napkin ring!
I’ll attach a link to the youtube tutorial (here). Don’t be frightened by the fact that the video mentions using a sizzix machine to cut out your circles. Scissors can cut out circles, too.
You know, just the way we CAN write a letter on paper . . . we don’t HAVE to email it. 😉
If anyone’s looking for me – I’ll be working on a bright pink one next!
Hugs,
‘Tis the season!
Thought you might enjoy these Vintage Children’s Valentines. 😀

Welcome to this week’s Show and Tell Tuesday!
For a couple of years, now, I’ve known that Allison loves horses from comments she has left here on the blog. Recently though, she surprised me by sending this wonderful photo along with some background information on her experiences . . .
“This was taken a couple of years ago at a horse show. It is me on a horse named ‘Luca’.”
“He is a German Warmblood that some good friends of mine own and who were kind enough to let me ride and show. He was VERY fun to ride and we always placed very well. We were champions for the year at our local horse show association.
(in ’08, when this picture was taken)
I have been riding since I was 4 and showing almost as long. I love horse showing because it gives me something to work towards and I can judge my progress. You never stop learning with horses! I have not ridden in the past year (pregnancy + delivery), but once the weather warms up, I will be back in the saddle!!”
Thank you so much, Allison! It is a real treat to see you with your beautiful friend! 🙂
How about you?
We’d love to see anything you’d like to share!
If you are worried about cropping or sizing, I can do that for you.
