Valentine's Crafts

Enough of that spider! Kyle and I both decided that we need to start forming traditions and being a little more festive when it comes to holidays. I saw these little packs on Jon and Kate plus 8 that attached to each kids chair and were filled with fun Valentine's goodies, so I decided to adopt that tradition. I would've liked to just buy the packs, but didn't know where to find them, so I ended up making them. Not a great picture, I'm a horrible photographer. Eventually, I would like to embroider our names on them, but plain with have to do this year. I thought ahead and made one for the baby. They button onto the back of a chair at the kitchen table where each of us sit. Each of them were about $4 to make, although you could get much fancier than I did. Kyle had been instructed to fill mine (forced love). We plan on just putting goodies, books, small toys, etc in them....although a diamond could definitely fit. After I made them, I found a tutorial, which looks much more complicated than the ones I made, but if anyone wants to make them I can send you the link (I'm having problems adding the link...and my go to person is still out of town).

My sewing machine has officially been put away!!

So with the machine out of sight I found this simple project that only took about 1 hour to complete. I couldn't get a decent picture of mine but this is the crocheted heart garland....super easy and also very inexpensive!

And now I think I will delete the craft blogs from my reader so I don't have the desire to make anything else!
