Valentines On the mind

The snow arrived verrrryyyy slooowwwlllly..... not really what the kids in mind!

Glad I didn't hit the grocery store, much better time was spent at home...on the computer searching for Vintage Valentines Images and washing fabric. I finished a shirt that I was working on for Lily. She is such a peanut that I am going to need to take it in again in the shoulders....she is like this teeny tiny little pixie!! I make a 2t and it is too short, I make a 3t and it is like a potatoe sack! Geeshhhh!

I found sooooo many cute things! I think I overloaded my computer with images and downloads!

Here are some of my favorites:

Paper Dolls!! Love Paper dolls and Lily spent much time trying to cut their little outfits out just right.

These are the Betsy McCall ones, very cute. Never heard of them before but they are cute!

(She scored VERY high in the fine motor skills portion of her recent 3yr preschool progress report....Big Wink for ya! HeeHee.. But no joke, she really did....)

Then I found these great images! I have big plans for some of them. I also used this tutorial last night and made a few of them.....I am planning a really cute combination of the both for Valentines Day for all my girls!

Download the PDF here....and please link any and all credit for that Tut to Wise Craft. I am very grateful to people who do what I can't do....make those blasted little PDF's!!

Check out some of these images! Feel free to lift any of them that you like. I found most of them at the site I listed yesterday and a few just by surfing the net.

Finally came up with my plan for Lily's Valentines for her class. Very cute!! I love being inspired!

SNOW.....?!?!?!

More snow is headed our way! They are calling for snow tonight and then major snow all weekend....crazy! I love snow, but only so much...



While everyone I am sure is out at the grocery store - I am washing fabrics and getting patterns ready. I plan to sew, sew, sew while it Snows, Snows, Snows!!!



I am stuck with two different knitting patterns right now so I am returning to my sewing roots. I had plans to go scrapbooking this weekend, wonder if the snow is going to screw that up?? Valentines projects are on my agenda, luckily I have all the glitter and supplies I need here so no more trips to the store in the snow.



I am still searching for the perfect Vintage image for Valentines Cards - so many to chose from but one just hasn't jumped out at me yet! I found so many here and last year I found several here. Just too many options for my Craft ADD!!

Tomorrow I will show you more of my favorite valentine links. So many to chose from!!

What we do for Love

What I won't do for my Love of fabric.....On Saturday a "minor dusting" of snow turned into a pretty hefty snowstorm, dropping 6" of snow on the ground in the matter of an hour.

But...I had the opportunity to go to my favorite little quilt shop WITHOUT 3 of my crew, I was half way there after Jacobs basketball game, so I went for it!

I drove through this.....

And in the end....It was NOT a successful trip. In fact after taking 1 hour to complete a drive that usually only takes 20 minutes I arrived to find the shop closed! I was so bummed!! I had even called twice on the way to see if they were still there.

Oh, Well....I did spend quality time with Jacob. We enjoyed it, he kept telling me I was crazy and I just kept agreeing.

I really needed that Pink Fabric! Darn Mother Nature!! Oh how these snow storms remind me of why I LOVE Spring and Summer!!
